File operations |

--------------- |

|
9 |
The file operations are also wrapped through file_open() and file_close() |
10 |
which handle calling fd_open() / fd_close() and tracking the filedescriptors |
11 |
correctly. fbopen() / fbclose() use file_open() / file_close() too. |
12 |
|
13 |
fileio.c defines the functions: |
14 |
|
15 |
int |
16 |
file_open(const char *filename, int mode, int fmode) |
17 |
|
18 |
A wrapper around open(filename, flags, mode). Read the open manpage for |
19 |
information. file_open() enforces filedescriptor limits and tags the FD |
20 |
through fd_open(). |
21 |
|
22 |
void |
23 |
file_close(int fd) |
24 |
|
25 |
A wrapper around close() for files. close() handles fd_close()ing the fd. |
26 |
|
27 |
|
28 |
FBFILE * |
29 |
fbopen(const char *filename, const char *mode) |
30 |
|
31 |
void |
32 |
fbclose(FBFILE *fb) |
33 |
|
34 |
These are the 'buffered disk IO' routines. You can read the code yourself. |
35 |
Note that these routines use file_open() and file_close(). |
