FTN95 offers a wide variety of file manipulation routines. Routines which take
operating system file handles as arguments must only be used with file handles
obtained with one of the file opening routines detailed in this section. The
reading and writing routines use a buffer to improve the performance. These
buffers are cleared when a file is closed or when a program terminates and
returns to the operating system. As a result of this, a file which has been
open for writing may give an error (e.g. full disk) as it is closed with
CLOSEF@. In all cases where a routine returns an error code, this may
be interpreted by calling a routine such as DOSERR@.
