Chapter 6: Special-Purpose File Operations
Overview
Previous chapters discussed the regular file operations: creating, opening, and closing files; reading and writing data; removing files; renaming files; setting file permissions; and so forth. They also discussed some common operations on file descriptors, such as setting the read/write offset and duplicating a file descriptor. However, there are also a number of less common, yet nevertheless important, operations that you can perform when circumstances warrant. These special-purpose file operations are the subject of this chapter.
