Depends on the followings:

  • The file storage location
  • The operating system of the program/software tries to open the file
  • What the computer language was written in of that software to open the file

Some languages may supply different ways to open a file in their library code, some may not supply any.

For those do, usually, the modes are:

Read only (implies the file must exist, sequential or random access)

Write (file may not exist, may be sequentially or random access)

Append (file may not exist, write to the end of file)

What is an explanation of the file modes briefly?

Two file modes are "text" and "binary". Text is used for human readable data, such as a C source file, or a notepad text file. Binary is used for computer readable data, such as an executable object file. Two other file modes are "sequential" and "random". Sequential is used when the file is accessed serially, from the beginning to the end, and can be used for both text and binary files. Random is used when the file is accessed non-serially, often jumping around from place to place. An example of random is a database file.
