51points to one of the following one-character strings:
52.Bl -tag -width indent
53.It Dq Li r
54Open compressed file for reading.
55The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
56.It Dq Li w
57Truncate file to zero length or create compressed file for writing.
58The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
