opened to res, and selects output mode, with the write position at the start of the
file (i.e. the file is of zero length).
If a channel cannot be opened as required, the value of res indicates the reason, and
cid identifies the invalid channel.

VAR res: OpenResults);
(* Attempts to obtain and open a channel connected to a stored rewindable file of the
given name.
The write and old flags are implied; without the raw flag, text is implied.
If successful, assigns to cid the identity of the opened channel, assigns the value
opened to res, and selects output mode, with the write position corresponding to the
length of the file.
If a channel cannot be opened as required, the value of res indicates the reason, and
cid identifies the invalid channel.

exception wrongDevice is raised; otherwise attempts to set the read position to the
start of the file, and to select input mode.

neither input mode nor output mode is selected.

exception wrongDevice is raised; otherwise, attempts to truncate the file to zero
length, and to select output mode.

(* If the channel identified by cid is not open to a rewindable sequential file, the
exception wrongDevice is raised; otherwise closes the channel, and assigns the value
identifying the invalid channel to cid.
