 * calls:
 *
 *  File {Close, Read, ReadV, Write, WriteV, Size, Sync}
 *  {Path Name Open, Allocate, Free} File
 *
 * These are NOT JUST RENAMINGS OF THE UNIX ROUTINES.
 * Use them for all file activity...
 *
 *  File fd;
 *  fd = PathNameOpenFile("foo", O_RDONLY);
 *
 *  AllocateFile();
 *  FreeFile();
 *
 * 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/CloseTransientFile for an
 * unbuffered file descriptor.
 *
 * If you really can't use any of the above, at least call AcquireExternalFD
 * or ReserveExternalFD to report any file descriptors that are held for any
 * length of time.  Failure to do so risks unnecessary EMFILE errors.
