+<p>
+There is a group of functions which wrap the common POSIX functions
+dealing with filenames (<a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-open" title="g_open ()"><code class="function">g_open()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-rename" title="g_rename ()"><code class="function">g_rename()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-mkdir" title="g_mkdir ()"><code class="function">g_mkdir()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-stat" title="g_stat ()"><code class="function">g_stat()</code></a>,
+<a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-unlink" title="g_unlink ()"><code class="function">g_unlink()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-remove" title="g_remove ()"><code class="function">g_remove()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-fopen" title="g_fopen ()"><code class="function">g_fopen()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-freopen" title="g_freopen ()"><code class="function">g_freopen()</code></a>). The point of these
+wrappers is to make it possible to handle file names with any Unicode
+characters in them on Windows without having to use ifdefs and the
+wide character API in the application code.
+</p>
+<p>
+The pathname argument should be in the GLib file name encoding. On
+POSIX this is the actual on-disk encoding which might correspond to
+the locale settings of the process (or the
+<code class="envar">G_FILENAME_ENCODING</code> environment variable), or not.
+</p>
+<p>
+On Windows the GLib file name encoding is UTF-8. Note that the
+Microsoft C library does not use UTF-8, but has separate APIs for
+current system code page and wide characters (UTF-16). The GLib
+wrappers call the wide character API if present (on modern Windows
+systems), otherwise convert to/from the system code page.
+</p>
+<p>
+Another group of functions allows to open and read directories
+in the GLib file name encoding. These are <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-dir-open" title="g_dir_open ()"><code class="function">g_dir_open()</code></a>,
+<a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-dir-read-name" title="g_dir_read_name ()"><code class="function">g_dir_read_name()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-dir-rewind" title="g_dir_rewind ()"><code class="function">g_dir_rewind()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-dir-close" title="g_dir_close ()"><code class="function">g_dir_close()</code></a>.

+gives more details. The following error code descriptions come
+from the GNU C Library manual, and are under the copyright
+of that manual.
+</p>
+<p>
+It's not very portable to make detailed assumptions about exactly

+On POSIX systems file descriptors are implemented by the operating

+A wrapper for the POSIX <code class="function">stat()</code> function. The <code class="function">stat()</code> function
+returns information about a file. On Windows the <code class="function">stat()</code> function in
+the C library checks only the FAT-style READONLY attribute and does
+not look at the ACL at all. Thus on Windows the protection bits in
+the st_mode field are a fabrication of little use.
+</p>
+<p>
+On Windows the Microsoft C libraries have several variants of the
+<span class="structname">stat</span> struct and <code class="function">stat()</code> function with names
+like "_stat", "_stat32", "_stat32i64" and "_stat64i32". The one
+used here is for 32-bit code the one with 32-bit size and time
+fields, specifically called "_stat32".
+</p>
+<p>
+In Microsoft's compiler, by default "struct stat" means one with
+64-bit time fields while in MinGW "struct stat" is the legacy one
+with 32-bit fields. To hopefully clear up this messs, the gstdio.h
+header defines a type GStatBuf which is the appropriate struct type
+depending on the platform and/or compiler being used. On POSIX it
+is just "struct stat", but note that even on POSIX platforms,
+"stat" might be a macro.

+<p>
+A wrapper for the POSIX <code class="function">creat()</code> function. The <code class="function">creat()</code> function is
+used to convert a pathname into a file descriptor, creating a file
+if necessary.
+</p>
+<p>
+On POSIX systems file descriptors are implemented by the operating
+system. On Windows, it's the C library that implements <code class="function">creat()</code> and
+file descriptors. The actual Windows API for opening files is
+different, see MSDN documentation for <code class="function">CreateFile()</code>. The Win32 API
+uses file handles, which are more randomish integers, not small
+integers like file descriptors.
+</p>
+<p>
+Because file descriptors are specific to the C library on Windows,
+the file descriptor returned by this function makes sense only to
+functions in the same C library. Thus if the GLib-using code uses a
+different C library than GLib does, the file descriptor returned by
+this function cannot be passed to C library functions like <code class="function">write()</code>
+or <code class="function">read()</code>.
+</p>
+<p>
+See your C library manual for more details about <code class="function">creat()</code>.
