ding error strings.

newline is a string controlling how universal newlines works (it only
applies to text mode). It can be None, '', '\n', '\r', and '\r\n'.  It works
as follows:

* On input, if newline is None, universal newlines mode is
  enabled. Lines in the input can end in '\n', '\r', or '\r\n', and
  these are translated into '\n' before being returned to the
  caller. If it is '', universal newline mode is enabled, but line
  endings are returned to the caller untranslated. If it has any of
  the other legal values, input lines are only terminated by the given
  string, and the line ending is returned to the caller untranslated.

* On output, if newline is None, any '\n' characters written are
  translated to the system default line separator, os.linesep. If
  newline is '', no translation takes place. If newline is any of the
  other legal values, any '\n' characters written are translated to
  the given string.

closedfd is a bool. If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will
be kept open when the file is closed. This does not work when a file name is
given and must be True in that case.

The newly created file is non-inheritable.

A custom opener can be used by passing a callable as *opener*. The
underlying file descriptor for the file object is then obtained by calling
*opener* with (*file*, *flags*). *opener* must return an open file
descriptor (passing os.open as *opener* results in functionality similar to
passing None).

open() returns a file object whose type depends on the mode, and
through which the standard file operations such as reading and writing
are performed. When open() is used to open a file in a text mode ('w',
'r', 'wt', 'rt', etc.), it returns a TextIOWrapper. When used to open
a file in a binary mode, the returned class varies: in read binary
mode, it returns a BufferedReader; in write binary and append binary
modes, it returns a BufferedWriter, and in read/write mode, it returns
a BufferedRandom.

It is also possible to use a string or bytearray as a file for both
reading and writing. For strings StringIO can be used like a file
opened in a text mode, and for bytes a BytesIO can be used like a file
opened in a binary mode.
