Charles-François Natali added the comment:

I wouldn't rely on O_APPEND too much:
- it won't work on NFS, and probably other non-local filesystems
- it doesn't actually guarantee atomicity, because even though the the file 
offset and the write is done with locking, there is still the possibility of 
partial write
