+<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="literal">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>.</p>

+g_file_error_from_errno (<em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="glib-Basic-Types.html#gint" title="gint"><span class="type">gint</span></a> err_no</code></em>);</pre>
+<p>Gets a <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#GFileError" title="enum GFileError"><span class="type">GFileError</span></a> constant based on the passed-in <em class="parameter"><code>err_no</code></em>
+.
+For example, if you pass in <code class="literal">EEXIST</code> this function returns
+<a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#G-FILE-ERROR-EXIST:CAPS"><span class="type">G_FILE_ERROR_EXIST</span></a>. Unlike <code class="literal">errno</code> values, you can portably
+assume that all <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#GFileError" title="enum GFileError"><span class="type">GFileError</span></a> values will exist.</p>
+<p>Normally a <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#GFileError" title="enum GFileError"><span class="type">GFileError</span></a> value goes into a <a class="link" href="glib-Error-Reporting.html#GError" title="struct GError"><span class="type">GError</span></a> returned
+from a function that manipulates files. So you would use
+<a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#g-file-error-from-errno" title="g_file_error_from_errno ()"><code class="function">g_file_error_from_errno()</code></a> when constructing a <a class="link" href="glib-Error-Reporting.html#GError" title="struct GError"><span class="type">GError</span></a>.</p>

+<p>On POSIX systems file descriptors are implemented by the operating

+<p>Because file descriptors are specific to the C library on Windows,

+<p>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 <em class="parameter"><code>st_mode</code></em>
+ field are a fabrication of little use.</p>
+<p>On Windows the Microsoft C libraries have several variants of the
+stat struct and <code class="function">stat()</code> function with names like <code class="function">_stat()</code>, <code class="function">_stat32()</code>,
+<code class="function">_stat32i64()</code> and <code class="function">_stat64i32()</code>. The one used here is for 32-bit code
+the one with 32-bit size and time fields, specifically called <code class="function">_stat32()</code>.</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 <a class="link" href="glib-File-Utilities.html#GStatBuf" title="GStatBuf"><span class="type">GStatBuf</span></a> 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, <code class="function">stat()</code>
+might be a macro.</p>

+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>.</p>
