42 * This class provides a interface for safe file IO.
44 * Basic IO operations will either succeed or throw an exception,
45 * so that failure cannot be ignored. There are currently 3 types
46 * of failures: Read past EOF, errors while reading, and errors
47 * while writing.
49 * Beyond basic IO, the interface provides functions for reading
50 * and writing a number of simple data-types. These are all written
51 * and read as little-endian in order to allow for communication
52 * across platforms.
54 * Note that when empty areas are created, for instance by seeking
55 * past the end, then writing, the value of bytes where no data was
56 * explicitly written is not specified.
