102<H2>Description</H2>
103<p>
104Asynchronously opens 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 to which <CODE>NANDSafe</CODE>-type functions are applied. <code>NAND_RESULT_BUSY</code> is returned and this function call is denied when the queue for accepting requests inside the library is full.
105</p>
106<p>
107<font color="ff0000">Unlike a large number of asynchronous NAND functions, the callback specified with this function might receive <CODE>NAND_RESULT_ALLOC_FAILED</CODE> or <CODE>NAND_RESULT_BUSY</CODE> when <CODE>NAND_ACCESS_WRITE</CODE> or <CODE>NAND_ACCESS_RW</CODE> is specified for <CODE>accType</CODE>.</font>
108</p>
109
110<p>
111When <code>NAND_ACCESS_WRITE</code> or <code>NAND_ACCESS_RW</code> is specified for <code>accType</code>, this function will update the FAT in Wii console NAND memory.
