What does "w+" mean in IO.open?

Hi, the rdoc says that “w+” means:

“w+”: Read-write, truncates existing file to zero length or creates a
new file for reading and writing.

however in a post I’ve read:

output = open(“my_pipe”, “w+”) # the w+ means we don’t block

Is it true? AFAIK it’s not correct as you open a IO and later use
bocking or
non-blocking methods. Do I miss something?

Thanks.
