PickBASIC / FlashBASIC

%creat() function

The %creat() function creates a new host OS file or prepares to rewrite an existing host OS file designated by str for write only.

Syntax

file.descriptor = %creat(str, mode)


`str`	Name of the file to create.
`mode`	Controls the file mode. Valid values of `mode` are in the include: mode.h. Combinations of the modes are obtained by adding several elementary modes together.

Note: On D3, files are closed automatically when the FlashBASIC program terminates.

include dm,bp,unix.h mode.h
* Create a local file named myfile
* read and write permissions
fd=%creat("myfile",s$iread+s$iwrite)

Note the usage of the + operator to combine flags, where a regular C program would have used an or.
