% Stability: medium to high.
%
% This file encapsulates all the file I/O.
%
% We implement a purely logical I/O system using non-logical I/O primitives of
% the underlying system. We ensure referential transparency by passing around
% a ``state-of-the-world'' argument using unique modes. The compiler will check
% that the state of the world argument is properly single-threaded, and will
% also ensure that the program doesn't attempt to backtrack over any I/O.
%
% Attempting any operation on a stream which has already been closed results
% in undefined behaviour.
%
% In multithreaded programs, each thread in the program has its own set of
% "current" input and output streams. At the time it is created, a child
% thread inherits the current streams from its parent. Predicates that
% change which stream is current affect only the calling thread.

%
% - If it finds a sequence of tokens ending with an end-of-term token,
% which is a `.' followed by whitespace, then it leaves the trailing
% whitespace in the input stream, and decides what to do based on

% - On Unix systems, the file will reside in /tmp if the TMPDIR

% 2. For the Java back-end, the system-dependent default
% temporary-file directory will be used, specified by the Java
% system property java.io.tmpdir. On UNIX systems the default
% value of this property is typically "/tmp" or "/var/tmp";
