Why doesn't session_start() take parameters?

Question

PHP

PHP 5.6. openserver.
The function, as I understand it, ignores the parameters passed to it - an associative array with options.

session_start([
 'save_path' => JDSys::ware('tmp_sess', true),    // JDSys::ware() возвращает полный путь к директории с временными файлами сессии,
 'name' => 'CONST',                               // ключ к имени временной сессии в куках,
 'read_and_close' => true,                        // прочитать и не блокировать файл сессии.
]);

this code, for some reason, does not work: the session file is stored in the server's temporary directory, the key in the cookie is PHPSESSID, and the session file is blocked and overwritten.
If I do this:

session_save_path(JDSys::ware('tmp_sess', true)); // работаю с сессией в папке с временными сессиями,
session_name('CONST');                            // индекс сессии в куки - CONST,
session_start();
session_write_close();                            // записываю данные сессии в файл и снимаю с блокировки.

then everything goes as planned.

I would not want to write so much extra code (no need to hate me for this) and for a moment, but lock the session file.

What's wrong? Maybe I missed something???

look in the dock, from which version the function began to accept the options parameter.
