HFILE _lcreat(
  LPCSTR lpPathName,
  int    iAttribute
);

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a file handle. Otherwise, the return value is HFILE_ERROR. To get extended error information, use the GetLastError function.

Remarks

If the file does not exist, _lcreat creates and opens a new file for writing. If the file does exist, _lcreattruncates the file size to zero and opens it for reading and writing.

When the function opens a file, the pointer is set to the beginning of the file.

Use the _lcreat function with care. It can open any file, even one already opened by another function.

TBD

Return Value
