To simplify working with encoded files or stream, the module
also defines these utility functions:

Open an encoded file using the given \var{mode} and return
a wrapped version providing transparent encoding/decoding.
\strong{Note:} The wrapped version will only accept the object format

-codecs. Output is also codec dependent and will usually by Unicode as

\var{encoding} specifies the encoding which is to be used for the
