16 * calls:
18 * File {Close, Read, Write, Size, Sync}
19 * {Path Name Open, Allocate, Free} File
21 * These are NOT JUST RENAMINGS OF THE UNIX ROUTINES.
22 * Use them for all file activity...
24 * File fd;
25 * fd = PathNameOpenFile("foo", O_RDONLY);
27 * AllocateFile();
28 * FreeFile();
30 * Use AllocateFile, not fopen, if you need a stdio file (FILE*); then
31 * use FreeFile, not fclose, to close it. AVOID using stdio for files
32 * that you intend to hold open for any length of time, since there is
33 * no way for them to share kernel file descriptors with other files.
35 * Likewise, use AllocateDir/FreeDir, not opendir/closedir, to allocate
36 * open directories (DIR*), and OpenTransientFile/CloseTransientFile for an
37 * unbuffered file descriptor.
39 * If you really can't use any of the above, at least call AcquireExternalFD
40 * or ReserveExternalFD to report any file descriptors that are held for any
41 * length of time. Failure to do so risks unnecessary EMFILE errors.
