62+ * In the Posix model, there is an underlying kernel global file handle
63+ * list that per-process file handles merely refer to. Most attributes
64+ * (like the current file position for reads or writes) are attributes of
65+ * this global handle. A very small number (most notably the close on exec
66+ * flag) are attributes of the process-level file handle.
