How exactly does w+ work? The docs say that it truncates the file upon opening, so does that mean that if you use w+, you can't read what was originally in the file? If python were to crash while a file was open with w+, might I end up with two files - the original as well as a partially written new file that was meant to replace the original?

Cover means truncate. For the meaning of truncate refer to the documentation for io.IOBase.truncate() and os.truncate().

Slight change to the text description of the image, removed "enter image description here", replaced image with white background so it's readable in dark mode.

| Apr 4, 2021 at 20:37 | comment | added | blubberdiblub | @ConorJamesThomasWarfordHen in this context "truncate" means "truncate the file to a length of 0". I.e. remove all previous contents of the file and start with an empty file at the time of opening. | |
