/**
 * @file parc_FileOutputStream.h
 * @ingroup inputoutput
 * @brief A file output stream is an output stream for writing data to a File or to a FileDescriptor.
 *
 * Whether or not a file is available or may be created depends upon the underlying platform.
 * Some platforms, in particular, allow a file to be opened for writing by only one FileOutputStream
 * (or other file-writing object) at a time. In such situations the constructors in this class will
 * fail if the file involved is already open.
 *
