val close : t -> unit

val with_openfile : 
  string ->
  Unix.open_flag list ->
  Unix.file_perm ->
  (t -> 'a) ->
  'a

with_openfile name flags perm f opens name, applies the result to f and closes

val write : t -> bytes -> int -> int -> int

write t buf ofs len writes len bytes at offset ofs from buffer buf to t using page-aligned buffers.

val copy_from_fd : ?limit:int64 -> Unix.file_descr -> t -> int64

copy_from_fd ?limit fd t copies from fd to t up to limit

val fsync : t -> unit

val lseek : t -> int64 -> Unix.seek_command -> int64
