The routines in this category are generally wrappers around Unix system or
library calls, or are useful routines for file handling.
The wrapper routines exist so that helpful and precise error messages can be generated in failure cases.
The other routines are for items such as determining whether a filename refers to a file or a directory, reading a file into memory a line at a time, or determining whether a file is empty.
As with all of the Utilities categories, none of these routines are specific to the lq-text database in any way, but they are all used by lq-text.
