All major operating systems allow developers to write code that can open a file in a variety of different ways, including "r" or "ro" (read-only) "rw" (read-write), "w" (write-only), and "a" (append, like "w" but starts at the end of the file, preserving the previous contents). In these operating systems, applications may choose to open a file as "read-only", which prevents accidental modification of the file by logic errors in the code.

How do you open a read only file in Unix?
You can open any read-only file in Unix assuming that you have the read permission. Any utility or program that can get access to that file in read mode can open it, which would include programs such as 'more', 'less', 'vi', 'cat', etc. Read-only merely means you can't change it; but you could copy it or look at it.

What is file mode and list various file mode operations available?
A file mode describes how a file is to be used, to read, to write to append etc. When you associate a stream with a file, either by initializing a file stream object with a file name or by using open() method, you can provide a second argument specifying the file mode. e.g. stream_object.open("filename",filemode); Following is the list of filemodes available in C++ ios::in ios::out ios::binary ios::ate ios::app ios::trunc ios::nocreate ios::noreplace

What is file mode in c plus plus?
There are 6 main types of file opening mode:* "r". Open file for reading and file must exist; * "w" Open file for writing. If file does not exist it is created or if life already exist it's content is erased. * "a" Open file for appending. It adds all information at the end of the file leaving old data untouched. If file does not exist it is created. * "r+" Open file for reading and writing and file must exist. * "w+" Open file for writing and reading. If file does not exist it is created or if life already exist it's content is erased. * "a+" Open file for appending and reading. Again all new data is written at the end of the file old data leaving untouched. If file does not exist it is created. (You can read old data by moving pointer in file using fseek or rewind functions from stdio.h. But all writing operations will be done at the end of the file no matter how you change pointer) It is assumed by default that file will be standard ASCII text file in order to open file as binary file, you need to add "b" indicator:FILE *myFile = fopen("myfile.txt", "wb");/ * following two has identical meaning */FILE *myFile = fopen("myfile.txt", "w+b");FILE *myFile = fopen("myfile.txt", "wb+");
