 * be restored to its last known state when it is obtained through

 * anytime when it is not in use. This means that the user should not rely on it
 * being safe to unlink the file. Moreover, concurent modifications to the file
 * (e.g. truncation) may react differently than if the file descriptor was kept
 * open.
