// File is a writeable fs.File bridge backed by syscall functions needed for ABI
// including WASI.
//
// Implementations should embed UnimplementedFile for forward compatibility. Any
// unsupported method or parameter should return ENOSYS.
//
// # Errors
//
// All methods that can return an error return a Errno, which is zero
// on success.
//
// Restricting to Errno matches current WebAssembly host functions,
// which are constrained to well-known error codes. For example, WASI maps syscall
// errors to u32 numeric values.
//
// # Notes
//
//   - You must call Close to avoid file resource conflicts. For example,
//     Windows cannot delete the underlying directory while a handle to it
//     remains open.
//   - A writable filesystem abstraction is not yet implemented as of Go 1.20.
//     See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/45757

	//
	// # Parameters
	//
	// The `offset` parameters is interpreted in terms of `whence`:
	//   - io.SeekStart: relative to the start of the file, e.g. offset=0 sets

	//   - io.SeekCurrent: relative to the current offset, e.g. offset=16 sets
	//     the next Read or Write 16 bytes past the prior.
	//   - io.SeekEnd: relative to the end of the file, e.g. offset=-1 sets the
	//     next Read or Write to the last byte in the file.
	//
	// # Behavior when a directory
	//
	// The only supported use case for a directory is seeking to `offset` zero
	// (`whence` = io.SeekStart). This should have the same behavior as
