 * Module:	vfpops.c
 * Synopsis:	Implements virtual file protocol operations
 * Description:
 *
 * This module implements the "Virtual File protocol" operations. These
 * operations are intended to provide very fast access to file data,
 * allowing a file to be accessed in very efficient ways with extremely
 * low-cpu intensive operations. If possible file data is mapped directly
 * into memory allowing the data to be accessed directly. If the data
 * cannot be mapped directly into memory, memory will be allocated and
 * the file data read directly into memory. If that fails currently the
 * file data is not accessible. Other methods of making the file could
 * be implemented in the future (e.g. stdio if all else fails).
 *
 * In general any code that uses stdio to access a file can be changed
 * to use the various "vfp" operations to access a file, with a resulting
 * increase in performance and decrease in cpu time required to access
 * the file contents.
 *
 * Public Methods:
 *
 *   vfpCheckpointFile - Create new VFP that checkpoints existing VFP
 *   vfpCheckpointOpen - open file, allocate storage, return pointer to VFP_T
 *   vfpClose - close file associated with vfp
 *   vfpDecCurrPtr - decrement current character pointer
 *   vfpGetBytesRemaining - get number of bytes remaining to read
 *   vfpGetCurrCharPtr - get pointer to current character
 *   vfpGetCurrPtrDelta - get number of bytes between current and specified char
 *   vfpGetFirstCharPtr - get pointer to first character
 *   vfpGetLastCharPtr - get pointer to last character
 *   vfpGetModifiedLen - get highest modified byte (length) contained in vfp
 *   vfpGetPath - get the path associated with the vfp
 *   vfpGetc - get current character and increment to next
 *   vfpGetcNoInc - get current character - do not increment
 *   vfpGets - get a string from the vfp into a fixed size buffer
 *   vfpIncCurrPtr - increment current character pointer
 *   vfpIncCurrPtrBy - increment current pointer by specified delta
 *   vfpOpen - open file on vfp
 *   vfpPutBytes - put fixed number of bytes to current character and increment
 *   vfpPutFormat - put format one arg to current character and increment
 *   vfpPutInteger - put integer to current character and increment
 *   vfpPutLong - put long to current character and increment
 *   vfpPutc - put current character and increment to next
 *   vfpPuts - put string to current character and increment
 *   vfpRewind - rewind file to first byte
 *   vfpSeekToEnd - seek to end of file
 *   vfpSetCurrCharPtr - set pointer to current character
 *   vfpSetFlags - set flags that affect file access
 *   vfpSetSize - set size of file (for writing)
 *   vfpTruncate - truncate file
 *   vfpWriteToFile - write data contained in vfp to specified file

 *		char *a_path - path of file to open and associate with this VFP.
 *			- if the path is (char *)NULL then no file is associated
 *			  with this VFP - this is a way to create a fixed length

 *			  Before the VFP can be used "vfpSetSize" must be called

 *		VFPFLAGS_T a_flags - one or more flags to control the operation:
 *			- VFP_NONE - no special flags
 *			- VFP_NEEDNOW - file data needed in memory now

 *			- VFP_RANDOM - memory will be randomly accessed
 *			- VFP_NOMMAP - do not use mmap to access file
 *			- VFP_NOMALLOC - do not use malloc to buffer file
 * Returns:	int	== 0 - operation was successful

 * Name:	vfpCheckpointOpen

 *		the VFP are not out of date with respect to the backing store
 *		file, use the existing in-memory contents - otherwise, discard
 *		the in-memory contents and reopen and reread the file.
 * Arguments:	VFP_T **a_cpVfp - pointer to pointer to VFP_T that represents
 *			checkpointed VFP to use to open the file IF the contents
 *			of the backing store are identical to the in-memory data
 *		VFP_T **r_vfp - pointer to pointer to VFP_T to open file on
 *		char *a_path - path of file to open and associate with this VFP.
 *			- if the path is (char *)NULL then no file is associated
 *			  with this VFP - this is a way to create a fixed length
 *			  string that can be manipulated with the VFP operators.
 *			  Before the VFP can be used "vfpSetSize" must be called
 *			  to set the size of the string buffer.
 *		char *a_mode - fopen mode to open the file with
 *		VFPFLAGS_T a_flags - one or more flags to control the operation:
 *			- VFP_NONE - no special flags
 *			- VFP_NEEDNOW - file data needed in memory now
 *			- VFP_SEQUENTIAL - memory will be sequentially accessed
 *			- VFP_RANDOM - memory will be randomly accessed
 *			- VFP_NOMMAP - do not use mmap to access file
 *			- VFP_NOMALLOC - do not use malloc to buffer file
 * Returns:	int	== 0 - operation was successful
 *			!= 0 - operation failed, errno contains reason
 * Side Effects: r_vfp -- filled in with a pointer to a newly allocated vfp
 *			which can be used with the various VFP functions.
 *		a_cpVfp -- contents reset to zero if used to open the file
 *		errno -- contains system error number if return is != 0
