Append the header/data to FITS file if filename exists, create if not.
If only `data` is supplied, a minimal header is created.
Parameters
----------
filename : file path, file object, or file like object
File to write to. If opened, must be opened for update (rb+)
unless it is a new file, then it must be opened for append
(ab+). A file or `GzipFile` object opened for update will be
closed after return.
data : array, table, or group data object
the new data used for appending
header : `Header` object (optional)
The header associated with `data`. If `None`, an appropriate
header will be created for the data object supplied.
checksum : bool (optional)
When `True` adds both ``DATASUM`` and ``CHECKSUM`` cards to
the header of the HDU when written to the file.
verify: bool (optional)
When `True`, the existing FITS file will be read in to verify
it for correctness before appending. When `False`, content is
simply appended to the end of the file. Setting *verify* to
`False` can be much faster.
kwargs
Any additional keyword arguments to be passed to `pyfits.open`.
