@deftypefnx {Built-in Function} {@var{fid_list} =} fopen (\"all\")\n\
@deftypefnx {Built-in Function} {@var{file} =} fopen (@var{fid})\n\
The first form of the @code{fopen} function opens the named file with\n\
the specified mode (read-write, read-only, etc.) and architecture\n\
interpretation (IEEE big endian, IEEE little endian, etc.), and returns\n\
an integer value that may be used to refer to the file later.  If an\n\
error occurs, @var{fid} is set to @minus{}1 and @var{msg} contains the\n\
corresponding system error message.  The @var{mode} is a one or two\n\
character string that specifies whether the file is to be opened for\n\
reading, writing, or both.\n\
\n\
The second form of the @code{fopen} function returns a vector of file ids\n\
corresponding to all the currently open files, excluding the\n\
@code{stdin}, @code{stdout}, and @code{stderr} streams.\n\
\n\
The third form of the @code{fopen} function returns the name of a\n\
currently open file given its file id.\n\
\n\
For example,\n\
\n\
@example\n\
myfile = fopen (\"splat.dat\", \"r\", \"ieee-le\");\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
@noindent\n\
opens the file @file{splat.dat} for reading.  If necessary, binary\n\
numeric values will be read assuming they are stored in IEEE format with\n\
the least significant bit first, and then converted to the native\n\
representation.\n\
\n\
Opening a file that is already open simply opens it again and returns a\n\
separate file id.  It is not an error to open a file several times,\n\
though writing to the same file through several different file ids may\n\
produce unexpected results.\n\
\n\
The possible values @samp{mode} may have are\n\
\n\
@table @asis\n\
@item @samp{r}\n\
Open a file for reading.\n\
\n\
@item @samp{w}\n\
Open a file for writing.  The previous contents are discared.\n\
\n\
@item @samp{a}\n\
Open or create a file for writing at the end of the file.\n\
\n\
@item @samp{r+}\n\
Open an existing file for reading and writing.\n\
\n\
@item @samp{w+}\n\
Open a file for reading or writing.  The previous contents are\n\
discarded.\n\
\n\
@item @samp{a+}\n\
Open or create a file for reading or writing at the end of the\n\
file.\n\
@end table\n\
\n\
The parameter @var{arch} is a string specifying the default data format\n\
for the file.  Valid values for @var{arch} are:\n\
\n\
@table @asis\n\
@samp{native}\n\
The format of the current machine (this is the default).\n\
\n\
@samp{ieee-be}\n\
IEEE big endian format.\n\
\n\
@samp{ieee-le}\n\
IEEE little endian format.\n\
\n\
@samp{vaxd}\n\
VAX D floating format.\n\
\n\
@samp{vaxg}\n\
VAX G floating format.\n\
\n\
@samp{cray}\n\
Cray floating format.\n\
@end table\n\
\n\
@noindent\n\
however, conversions are currently only supported for @samp{native}\n\
@samp{ieee-be}, and @samp{ieee-le} formats.\n\
