Open a SNP GDS File

Open a SNP GDS file

snpgdsOpen(filename, readonly=TRUE, allow.duplicate=FALSE, allow.fork=FALSE)

`filename`	the file name
`readonly`	whether read-only or not
`allow.duplicate`	if `TRUE`, it is allowed to open a GDS file with read-only mode when it has been opened in the same R session, see `openfn.gds`
`allow.fork`	`TRUE` for parallel environment using forking, see `openfn.gds`

It is strongly suggested to call snpgdsOpen instead of openfn.gds, since snpgdsOpen will perform internal checking for data integrality.

Return an object of class SNPGDSFileClass.
