file_bin_open

This function will open the binary file with the indicated name. The mode indicates what can be done with the file:

• 0 = reading
• 1 = writing
• 2 = both reading and writing

When the file does not exist it is created, and the function returns the id of the file that must be used in the other functions. You can open multiple files at the same time (32 max), but don't forget to close them once you are finished with them.

NOTE These functions do not work when the target module is HTML5.

Syntax:

file_bin_open(fname, mode);

Returns:

Binary File ID

Example:

file = file_bin_open("myfile.bin", 2);

This would open a file from the same directory as the game, and assign its index to the variable "file".
