>
> FSFileHandle abstracts out low level interaction with the OS and file system.
> Some form of memory map support is required: mmap() on unixen, and
> CreateFileMapping()/MapViewOfFile() on Windows.
> Only atomic, positional reads are supported, using 64-bit pread() on unixen,
> and ReadFile() with an OVERLAPPED structure on Windows.
> Multiple InStreams may share a single read-only FSFileHandle, because
> FSFH_Read() does not change file position or other state in the underlying
> OS-specific file object.  Theoretically, operating multiple InStreams in
> different threads against a single shared FileHandle will also work -- which
> is crucial for threadsafe compound files.  Thread safety is as yet untested, 
> though, since Lucy's Perl bindings are single-threaded.
