/*
 * The fdstream/fdstreambuf example classes provide a streambuffer
 * interface for Glib::IOChannel, so that standard iostreams can be
 * used with fifos, pipes and sockets, with safe temporary files
 * opened with mkstemp() and with files opened with other system
 * functions such as Unix open().
 * 
 * It does not make use of the Glib::IOChannel automatic charset code
 * conversion facilities (which when enabled will convert from UTF-8
 * to the locale codeset when writing out, and vice-versa when reading
 * in).  Such automatic codeset conversion is usually undesirable as
 * it makes the target file unportable - a file written out in the
 * locale charset can only be used by those expecting the same locale
 * codeset.  It is also unnecessary as the <<() and >>() operators for
 * Glib::ustring already carry out this codeset conversion (to avoid
 * this use Glib::ustring::raw() when writing out to a stream via
 * operator <<(), and read in via a std::string object with operator
 * >>()).
 *
 * If an automatic codeset conversion option is thought to be
 * valuable, it would be possible to provide this by having a read
 * buffer in fdstreambuf large enough to take and putback six bytes
 * (the largest space occupied by a UTF-8 character).  This would
 * require rewriting fdstreambuf::underflow(), but in compensation
 * fdstreambuf::xsgetn() could be omitted, as if a read buffer were
 * provided then std::streambuf::xsgetn() would be adequate for the
 * purpose by itself.
 *
 * A serious implementation would probably also provide separate
 * read-only ifdstream classes and write-only ofdstream classes, as
 * fdstream provides both read and write facilities.
