-- Handle type
-- Note: when a Handle is garbage collected, we want to flush its buffer
-- and close the OS file handle, so as to free up a (precious) resource.
+-- | Haskell defines operations to read and write characters from and to files,
+-- represented by values of type @Handle@. Each value of this type is a
+-- /handle/: a record used by the Haskell run-time system to /manage/ I\/O
+-- with file system objects. A handle has at least the following properties:
+--
+-- * whether it manages input or output or both;
+--
+-- * whether it is /open/, /closed/ or /semi-closed/;
+--
+-- * whether the object is seekable;
+--
+-- * whether buffering is disabled, or enabled on a line or block basis;
+--
+-- * a buffer (whose length may be zero).
+--
+-- Most handles will also have a current I\/O position indicating where the next
+-- input or output operation will occur. A handle is /readable/ if it
+-- manages only input or both input and output; likewise, it is /writable/ if
+-- it manages only output or both input and output. A handle is /open/ when
+-- first allocated.
+-- Once it is closed it can no longer be used for either input or output,
+-- though an implementation cannot re-use its storage while references
+-- remain to it. Handles are in the 'Show' and 'Eq' classes. The string
+-- produced by showing a handle is system dependent; it should include
+-- enough information to identify the handle for debugging. A handle is
+-- equal according to '==' only to itself; no attempt
+-- is made to compare the internal state of different handles for equality.
+--
+-- GHC note: a 'Handle' will be automatically closed when the garbage
+-- collector detects that it has become unreferenced by the program.
+-- However, relying on this behaviour is not generally recommended:
+-- the garbage collector is unpredictable. If possible, use explicit
+-- an explicit 'hClose' to close 'Handle's when they are no longer
+-- required. GHC does not currently attempt to free up file
+-- descriptors when they have run out, it is your responsibility to
+-- ensure that this doesn't happen.

+-- * /block-buffering/: the entire buffer is written out whenever it

--- o no-buffering output is written immediately, and never stored

-- The output buffer is emptied as soon as it has been written out.
-
--- Similarly, input occurs according to the buffer mode for handle {\em hdl}.
-
--- o line-buffering when the input buffer for the handle is not empty,
--- the next item is obtained from the buffer;
