64<H2>Description</H2>
65<p>
66Opens a file in a manner that guarantees the atomic nature of file updates. The file opened using this function must be closed using <code><a href="./NANDSafeClose.html">NANDSafeClose</a></code> or <code><a href="./NANDSafeCloseAsync.html">NANDSafeCloseAsync</a></code>. Appropriate permissions (both read and write) must be set for the parent directory of the file where the NANDSafe type function is applied.

70This function may put the current thread to sleep. For precautions when calling similar functions, refer to <a href="../os/Interrupt/intro.html">Interrupts and Callback Functions</a>.
