It will be really nice to have a binding over file control functions, here is a list I find out:

• [ ] fopen
• [ ] fclose
• [ ] fseek
• [ ] fread
• [ ] fwrite
• [ ] fsetpos
• [ ] fsync
• [ ] ftell
• [ ] freopen
• [ ] stdin
• [ ] stdout
• [ ] stderr

The standard library does a good job of buffered file I/O. What extra utility would Nix provide if it bound these lower-level functions?

@szdytom do you have a good use case for why Nix needs bindings for these functions, where the standard library won't suffice?
