+\emph{Note:} This module will become obsolete in a future release.
+The locking operation that it provides is done better and more
+portably by the \code{fcntl.lockf()} call.
+
This module implements some additional functionality over the built-in
file objects. In particular, it implements file locking, control over
the file flags, and an easy interface to duplicate the file object.
