#
# Start of posixfile.py
#

#
# Extended file operations
#
# f = posixfile.open(filename, mode)
#
# 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
