Python os.fdopen() Method
Description:
This method returns an open file object connected to the file descriptor fd. Then you can perform all the defined functions on file object.
Syntax:
os.fdopen(fd, [, mode[, bufsize]]);
|
Parameters:
Here is the detail of parameters:
fd: This is the file descriptor for which a file object is to be returned.
mode: This optional argument is a string indicating how the file is to be opened. The most commonly-used values of mode are 'r' for reading, 'w' for writing (truncating the file if it already exists), and 'a' for appending.
bufsize: This optional argument specifies the file's desired buffer size: 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line buffered, any other positive value means use a buffer of (approximately) that size.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
# Open a file
fd = os.open( "foo.txt", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREAT )
# Now get a file object for the above file.
fo = os.fdopen(fd, "w+")
# Tell the current position
print "Current I/O pointer position :%d" % fo.tell()
# Write one string
fo.write( "Python is a great language.\nYeah its great!!\n");
# Now read this file from the beginning.
os.lseek(fd, 0, 0)
str = os.read(fd, 100)
print "Read String is : ", str
# Tell the current position
print "Current I/O pointer position :%d" % fo.tell()
# Close opened file
fo.close()
print "Closed the file successfully!!"
|
This would produce following result:
Current I/O pointer position :0
Read String is : This is testPython is a great language.
Yeah its great!!
Current I/O pointer position :45
Closed the file successfully!!
