Starting a new thread from Denis' question:
Can we outline basic Stream interface now so that we could move on?
Here's the input transport layer. Transport has no concern for formatting - it
just moves stuff around.
I suggest having read and write with offset style apis. See also: man pread
The value here is that you can safely concurrently access a file descriptor and
not have to worry about atomicity of seek+read or seek+write at the app layer.
This is very interesting - I had no idea about pread and pwrite.
