Example
testFile, testError = io.open("testfile.txt", "w")

found while opening, writes

and closes the file.

io.flush()
This function saves buffered data to a file.
Type TSP-Link accessible Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
io.flush()
Details
You must use the io.flush() or io.close() functions to write data to the file system.
Data is not automatically written to a file when you use the io.write() function. The io.write()
function buffers data; it may not be written to the USB drive immediately. Use the io.flush()
function to immediately write buffered data to the drive.
