Code:

// returns non-zero on success, zero on failure.
fixed create_empty_file(STRING* fname)
{
   if (fname == NULL)
      return 0;

   fixed handle = file_open_write(fname);

   if (handle)
      file_close(handle);

   return handle;
}

Hi!

Here is the link to the Manual. Yay it is a Little bit hidden.
http://www.conitec.net/beta/afile_open_read.htm

Code:

file_open_write (STRING* name);

Code:

file_open_append(STRING* name);

will do it.

But you can also use <stdio.h> for manipulate files.

Code:

FILE *document = fopen("FileName.txt", "w");

Here is a reference
