I did not go with this version because the documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/file-access-rights-constants says:
FILE_APPEND_DATA: For a file object, the right to append data to the file. (For local files, write operations will not overwrite existing data if this flag is specified without FILE_WRITE_DATA.) [...]
which could be interpreted as: Only if FILE_WRITE_DATA is not set, we have the guarantee that existing data in local files is not overwritten, i.e., new data is appended atomically.
Is this interpretation too narrow and we do get atomicity even when FILE_WRITE_DATA is set?
