Description of openFileBlocking is wrong
The documentation states:
*Like openFile, but opens the file in ordinary blocking mode. This can be useful for opening a FIFO for reading: if we open in non-blocking mode then the open will fail if there are no writers, whereas a blocking open will block until a writer appears. * but I think this is the wrong way around, and should be:
*Like openFile, but opens the file in ordinary blocking mode. This can be useful for opening a FIFO for writing: if we open in non-blocking mode then the open will fail if there are no readers, whereas a blocking open will block until a reader appears. *
