Actually, it opens a URL. The URL can have a scheme name, which corresponds to a protocol implementation, which handles the I/O. It is not limited to files, and you can even define your own protocols. There are some protocol implementations built-in, but I don't know what they all are offhand. I've personally just used files and UDP.
