#11013: file_descriptor_sink won't create a file in "app" mode
-------------------------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  Josh Kelley <joshkel@…>  |      Owner:  turkanis
     Type:  Bugs                     |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |  Component:  iostreams
  Version:  Boost 1.57.0             |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                           |
-------------------------------------+-----------------------
 When file_descriptor_sink(filename, ios::app) is used on Linux, it refuses
 to create the file if the file doesn't already exist.

 This is inconsistent with std::ofstream's behavior with ios::app, and it's
 inconsistent with file_descriptor_sink's behavior on Windows (where it
 does create the file if it doesn't exist).

 See pull request 9 on the boostorg/iostreams GitHub repository.
