#####| Buffered file functions facilitate standard sequential file input |####
#####| and output for text files. Binary file functions manipulate any |####
#####| type of file. These functions bypass the FORCE database engine. |####

###| f_close ......... Closes a file stream. |#
###| f_eof ........... Returns TRUE if the file stream is at end of file. |#
###| f_flush ......... Flushes current write buffer to file stream. |#
###| f_getlin ........ Returns line of ASCII text from file stream. |#
###| f_open .......... Opens a file stream for reading, writing or appending|#
###| f_put ........... Writes text to file stream without cr and lf. |#
###| f_putln ......... Prepends cr and lf to text; then writes text to |#
###| the specified file. |#
###| fb_close ........ Close a file handle. |#
###| fb_eof .......... Returns TRUE if file handle is at end of file. |#
###| fb_open ......... Opens any type of file - ASCII, binary, etc. - for |#
###| reading or writing. |#
###| fb_read ......... Reads data from a file handle. |#
###| fb_seek ......... Seeks to an offset within a file. |#
###| fb_write ........ Writes data to a file handle. |#
###| |#
###| NOTE:Do not mix and match the binary functions with the text functions.|#
###| The binary functions (fb_???) use a handle to refer to the file and are|#
###| NOT line oriented. The text file functions (f_???) use a FILE data |#
###| type to refer to the file and are line oriented. |#
