Mind adding that data written to fd will be appended?
Guess we don't expose an
lseek()
in fs so users couldn't reposition where data is written. Hm. Future feature.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Whether data will be appended depends on the flags that the
fd
was created with. Thea
flags will obviously append, but thew
flags will create/truncate instead.There was a problem hiding this comment.
