bool QFile::open ( FILE * fh,
OpenMode mode,
FileHandleFlags handleFlags = DontCloseHandle )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Opens the existing file handle fh in the given mode.

handleFlags may be used to specify additional options. Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
void printError(const char* msg)
{
file.write(msg, qstrlen(msg)); // write to stderr
}

When a QFile is opened using this function, behaviour of close() is controlled by the AutoCloseHandle flag. If AutoCloseHandle is specified, and this function succeeds, then calling close() closes the adopted handle. Otherwise, close() does not actually close the file, but only flushes it.

{Warning:} \list 1

  • If fh does not refer to a regular file, e.g., it is stdin, stdout, or stderr, you may not be able to seek(). size() returns 0 in those cases. See QIODevice::isSequential() for more information.
  • Since this function opens the file without specifying the file name, you cannot use this QFile with a QFileInfo. \endlist
See also
close(), QT_USE_NODISCARD_FILE_OPEN

{Note for the Windows Platform}

fh must be opened in binary mode (i.e., the mode string must contain 'b', as in "rb" or "wb") when accessing files and other random-access devices. Qt will translate the end-of-line characters if you pass QIODevice::Text to mode. Sequential devices, such as stdin and stdout, are unaffected by this limitation.

You need to enable support for console applications in order to use the stdin, stdout and stderr streams at the console. To do this, add the following declaration to your application's project file:

Definition at line 287 of file qfile.cpp.

◆ open() [3/5]

bool QFile::open ( int fd,
OpenMode mode,
FileHandleFlags handleFlags = DontCloseHandle )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.Opens the existing file descriptor fd in the given mode.

handleFlags may be used to specify additional options. Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

When a QFile is opened using this function, behaviour of close() is controlled by the AutoCloseHandle flag. If AutoCloseHandle is specified, and this function succeeds, then calling close() closes the adopted handle. Otherwise, close() does not actually close the file, but only flushes it.

Warning
If fd is not a regular file, e.g, it is 0 (stdin), 1 (stdout), or 2 (stderr), you may not be able to seek(). In those cases, size() returns 0. See QIODevice::isSequential() for more information.
Since this function opens the file without specifying the file name, you cannot use this QFile with a QFileInfo.
See also
close(), QT_USE_NODISCARD_FILE_OPEN

Definition at line 288 of file qfile.cpp.

◆ open() [4/5]

bool QFile::open ( OpenMode mode)
override

Opens the file using OpenMode mode, returning true if successful; otherwise false.

The mode must be QIODevice::ReadOnly, QIODevice::WriteOnly, or QIODevice::ReadWrite. It may also have additional flags, such as QIODevice::Text and QIODevice::Unbuffered.

Note
In \l{QIODevice::}{WriteOnly} or \l{QIODevice::}{ReadWrite} mode, if the relevant file does not already exist, this function will try to create a new file before opening it. The file will be created with mode 0666 masked by the umask on POSIX systems, and with permissions inherited from the parent directory on Windows. On Android, it's expected to have access permission to the parent of the file name, otherwise, it won't be possible to create this non-existing file.
