The path of the database. It can be a relative or absolute path to
the file where dBase will store your data.

<listitem>
<para>
An integer which correspond to those for the <command>open()</command>
system call (Typically 0 means read-only, 1 means write-only, and 2
means read and write).
</para>
<note>
<para>
You can't open a dBase file in write-only mode as the function will
fail to read the headers information and thus you can't use 1 as
<parameter>mode</parameter>.
</para>
</note>
<para>
As of dbase 7.0.0 you can use <constant>DBASE_RDONLY</constant>
and <constant>DBASE_RDWR</constant>, respectively, to specify the
<parameter>mode</parameter>.
