 *
 * Use AllocateFile, not fopen, if you need a stdio file (FILE*); then
 * use FreeFile, not fclose, to close it.  AVOID using stdio for files
 * that you intend to hold open for any length of time, since there is
 * no way for them to share kernel file descriptors with other files.
 *
 * Likewise, use AllocateDir/FreeDir, not opendir/closedir, to allocate
 * open directories (DIR*), and OpenTransientFile/CloseTransient File for an
 * unbuffered file descriptor.
