NAME
       open_append - open a file for appending

SYNTAX
       #include <open.h>

       int open_append(const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION
       open_append opens the file filename for appending write-only use and
       returns the file handle.  If it does not exist, it will be created with
       mode 0600.  If there was an error opening or creating the file,
       open_append returns -1 and sets errno accordingly.

       All write operations will append after the last byte, regardless of
       previous calls to lseek(2) or other processes also appending to the
       same file.
