  4. * Management of large buffered files, primarily temporary files.
  5. *
  6. * The BufFile routines provide a partial replacement for stdio atop
  7. * virtual file descriptors managed by fd.c. Currently they only support
  8. * buffered access to a virtual file, without any of stdio's formatting
  9. * features. That's enough for immediate needs, but the set of facilities
  10. * could be expanded if necessary.
  11. *
  12. * BufFile also supports working with temporary files that exceed the OS
  13. * file size limit and/or the largest offset representable in an int.
  14. * It might be better to split that out as a separately accessible module,
  15. * but currently we have no need for oversize temp files without buffered
  16. * access.
