   -- Extra functions --

   ---------------------

   --  functions.

   -- Control of Text/Binary Mode --

   ---------------------------------
   --  If text_translation_required is true, then the following functions may
   --  be used to dynamically switch a file from binary to text mode or vice
   --  versa. These functions have no effect if text_translation_required is

   --  false (i.e. in normal unix mode). Use fileno to get a stream handle.
