Absolutely everything:

• os.open() takes a filename as a string, the file mode as a bitwise mask of attributes, and an optional argument that describes the file permission bits, and returns a file descriptor as an integer.

• io.open() takes a filename as a string or a file descriptor as an integer, the file mode as a string, and optional arguments that describe the file encoding, buffering used, how encoding errors and newlines are handled, and if the underlying FD is closed when the file is closed, and returns some descendant of io.IOBase.
