/**
 * Open the file for random access operations. Returns a
 * [:Future<RandomAccessFile>:] that completes with the opened
 * random access file. [RandomAccessFile]s must be closed using the
 * [RandomAccessFile.close] method.
 *
 * Files can be opened in three modes:
 *
 * [FileMode.READ]: open the file for reading.
 *
 * [FileMode.WRITE]: open the file for both reading and writing and
 * truncate the file to length zero. If the file does not exist the
 * file is created.
 *
 * [FileMode.APPEND]: same as [FileMode.WRITE] except that the file is
 * not truncated.
