Since the API for headers/trailers seem to be very awkward to
work with when using non-blocking io the feature is dropped
for now. See unix_efile.c for more details.

Allow Erlang code to use sendfile() where available by wrapping it as
file:sendfile/4 and file:sendfile/2.
sendfile(2) - Linux man page:
"sendfile() copies data between one file descriptor and another.
Because this copying is done within the kernel, sendfile() is more
efficient than the combination of read(2) and write(2), which would
require transferring data to and from user space."

An incorrect spec, rpc:yield/1, has been fixed.

Although the {encoding, encoding()} set of options is documented in
the manual page of the 'file' module, they do not appear in the Mode
description on that page nor in the mode() type declaration.
The patch adds this information in both the code of the module and
the documentation of the module.
To avoid duplication, the declaration of the encoding() type is added
to the 'unicode' module where it most probably belongs.
While at it, added a proper declaration for posix(), took out the
now superfluous information about the types of file:open/2 from the
erl_bif_types module, and corrected the return type of file:open/2
so that it corresponds to the published documentation.

Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and
creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag
to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL
varies across platforms and filesystems.
{ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]),
{error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern
for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to
maximize disk IO performance.

file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)".
This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not
update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for
example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to
increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write
operations compared to fsync.
More details on it at:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
An example, from the MySQL source:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61
This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
