88<h4>Description</h4>
89<p>The <tt>f_open</tt> function opens a file and creates a <em>file object</em>. The file object is an identifier for subsequent operations to the file. Open file should be closed with <a href="close.html"><tt>f_close</tt></a> function after the session of the file access. If any change to the file has been made and not closed prior to power off, media removal or re-mount, or the file can be collapsed.</p>
90<p>If duplicated file open is needed, read <a href="appnote.html#dup">here</a> carefully. However duplicated open of a file with any write mode flag is always prohibited.</p>
