A wrapper for the stdio fopen() function. The fopen() function
opens a file and associates a new stream with it.
Because file descriptors are specific to the C library on Windows,
and a file descriptor is partof the FILE struct, the
FILE pointer returned by this function makes sense
only to functions in the same C library. Thus if the GLib-using
code uses a different C library than GLib does, the
FILE pointer returned by this function cannot be
passed to C library functions like fprintf() or fread().
See your C library manual for more details about fopen().
