+# f = posixfile.open(filename, [mode, [bufsize]])

+#
+# f = posixfile.fileopen(fileobject)
+# will create a posixfile object from a builtin file object
+#
+# f.file()
+# will return the original builtin file object
+#
+# f.dup()
+# will return a new file object based on a new filedescriptor
+#
+# f.dup2(fd)
+# will return a new file object based on the given filedescriptor
+#
+# f.flags(mode)
+# will turn on the associated flag (merge)
+# mode can contain the following characters:
+#
+# (character representing a flag)
+# a append only flag
+# c close on exec flag
+# n no delay flag
+# s synchronization flag
+# (modifiers)
+# ! turn flags 'off' instead of default 'on'
+# = copy flags 'as is' instead of default 'merge'
+# ? return a string in which the characters represent the flags
+# that are set
+#
+# note: - the '!' and '=' modifiers are mutually exclusive.
+# - the '?' modifier will return the status of the flags after they
+# have been changed by other characters in the mode string
+#
+# f.lock(mode [, len [, start [, whence]]])
+# will (un)lock a region
+# mode can contain the following characters:
+#
+# (character representing type of lock)
+# u unlock
+# r read lock
+# w write lock
+# (modifiers)
+# | wait until the lock can be granted
+# ? return the first lock conflicting with the requested lock
+# or 'None' if there is no conflict. The lock returned is in the
+# format (mode, len, start, whence, pid) where mode is a
+# character representing the type of lock ('r' or 'w')
+#
+# note: - the '?' modifier prevents a region from being locked; it is
+# query only
