+
+    Args:
+      file: string giving the name of the file to be opened;
+            or integer file descriptor of the file to be wrapped (*).
+      mode: optional mode string; see below.
+      buffering: optional int >= 0 giving the buffer size; values
+                 can be: 0 = unbuffered, 1 = line buffered,
+                 larger = fully buffered.
+      encoding: optional string giving the text encoding.
+      errors: optional string giving the encoding error handling.
+      newline: optional newlines specifier; must be None, '', '\n', '\r'
+               or '\r\n'; all other values are illegal.  It controls the
+               handling of line endings.  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.
+
+      closefd: optional argument to keep the underlying file descriptor
+               open when the file is closed.  It must not be false when
+               a filename is given.
+
+    (*) If a file descriptor is given, it is closed when the returned
+    I/O object is closed, unless closefd=False is given.
+
+    Mode strings characters:
+      'r': open for reading (default)
+      'w': open for writing, truncating the file first
+      'a': open for writing, appending to the end if the file exists
+      'b': binary mode
+      't': text mode (default)
+      '+': open a disk file for updating (implies reading and writing)
+      'U': universal newline mode (for backwards compatibility)
+
+    Constraints:
+      - encoding or errors must not be given when a binary mode is given
+      - buffering must not be zero when a text mode is given
+
+    Returns:
+      Depending on the mode and buffering arguments, either a raw
+      binary stream, a buffered binary stream, or a buffered text
+      stream, open for reading and/or writing.
