- \begin{methoddesc}[file]{waiting}{}
-   Return the number of bytes waiting to be read from this file object.
-   For regular files, this returns the size of the file in bytes minus
-   the current seek address, as would be returned by \method{tell()}; a
-   zero return can be used to detect EOF.  For streams such as FIFOs,
-   sockets, Unix ttys, and other Unix character devices, this method
-   returns the number of bytes currently buffered up and waiting to be
-   read.  Attempts to call this method on Unix block devices or
-   on directories will raise an error.
- 	\footnote{The \method{waiting()} method uses
-   	\cfunction{fstat(2)} and \cfunction{lseek(2)} on plain files;
-   	these should be reliable on all of Unix, Windows, and MacOS.
-   	It uses the FIONREAD ioctl(2) call to query FIFOs, sockets,
-   	Unix ttys, and other POSIX character devices; FIFO and socket
-   	behavior should be consistent across all three platforms, but
-   	the results from querying other character devices may vary.}

  \begin{methoddesc}[file]{write}{str}
    Write a string to the file.  There is no return value.  Note: Due to
