// Abstraction for managing opening, reading, writing and closing of file
// descriptors. This includes an abstract class and one standard implementation
// based on POSIX system calls.
//
// TODO(garnold) this class is modeled after (and augments the functionality of)
// the FileWriter class; ultimately, the latter should be replaced by the former
// throughout the codebase.  A few deviations from the original FileWriter:
//
// * Providing two flavors of Open()
//
// * A FileDescriptor is reusable and can be used to read/write multiple files
//   as long as open/close preconditions are respected.
//
// * Write() returns the number of bytes written: this appears to be more useful
//   for clients, who may wish to retry or otherwise do something useful with
//   the remaining data that was not written.
//
// * Provides a Reset() method, which will force to abandon a currently open
//   file descriptor and allow opening another file, without necessarily
//   properly closing the old one. This may be useful in cases where a "closer"
//   class does not care whether Close() was successful, but may need to reuse
//   the same file descriptor again.
