    The mode parameter \a m must be a combination of the following flags:
    \table
    \header \i Flag \i Meaning
    \row \i IO_Raw
	 \i Raw (non-buffered) file access.
    \row \i IO_ReadOnly
	 \i Opens the file in read-only mode.
    \row \i IO_WriteOnly
	 \i Opens the file in write-only mode. If this flag is used
	    with another flag, e.g. \c IO_ReadOnly or \c IO_Raw or \c
	    IO_Append, the file is \e not truncated; but if used on
	    its own (or with \c IO_Truncate), the file is truncated.
    \row \i IO_ReadWrite
	 \i Opens the file in read/write mode, equivalent to \c
	    (IO_ReadOnly | IO_WriteOnly).
    \row \i IO_Append
	 \i Opens the file in append mode. (You must actually use \c
	    (IO_WriteOnly | IO_Append) to make the file writable and
	    to go into append mode.) This mode is very useful when you
	    want to write something to a log file. The file index is
	    set to the end of the file. Note that the result is
	    undefined if you position the file index manually using
	    at() in append mode.
    \row \i IO_Truncate
	 \i Truncates the file.
    \row \i IO_Translate
	 \i Enables carriage returns and linefeed translation for text
	    files under Windows.
    \endtable

    The raw access mode is best when I/O is block-operated using a 4KB
    block size or greater. Buffered access works better when reading
    small portions of data at a time.

    \warning When working with buffered files, data may not be written
    to the file at once. Call flush() to make sure that the data is
    really written.

    \warning If you have a buffered file opened for both reading and
    writing you must not perform an input operation immediately after
    an output operation or vice versa. You should always call flush()
    or a file positioning operation, e.g. at(), between input and
    output operations, otherwise the buffer may contain garbage.

    If the file does not exist and \c IO_WriteOnly or \c IO_ReadWrite
    is specified, it is created.

    Example:
    \code
	QFile f1( "/tmp/data.bin" );
	f1.open( IO_Raw | IO_ReadWrite );

	QFile f2( "readme.txt" );
	f2.open( IO_ReadOnly | IO_Translate );

	QFile f3( "audit.log" );
	f3.open( IO_WriteOnly | IO_Append );
    \endcode

  Opens a file in the mode \a m using an existing file handle \a f.
  Returns TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.

  Example:

  close the file, only flushes it.
