Unix/Posix-specific functions for ByteStrings

Unix\/Posix-specific functions for ByteStrings. Provides @ByteString@ file-descriptor based I\/O API, designed loosely after the @String@ file-descriptor based I\/O API in "System.Posix.IO". The functions here wrap standard C implementations of the functions specified by the ISO\/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1'') and X\/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 (``XPG4.2'') specifications. Note that this package doesn't require the @unix@ package as a dependency. But you'll need it in order to get your hands on an @Fd@, so we're not offering a complete replacement.
