[erlang-questions] file module - missing raw operations?

[Joseph Wayne Norton]

Hello.  I have a question indirectly related to the patch below.

During a recent performance benchmarking exercise, we learned that a  
subset of the file module's operations do not have an raw i/o API.

https://github.com/hibari/basho_bench/commit/3387e7e9c278940ca54dfde010066ddb3d255be8

Is this omission accidental or deliberate?  Could new APIs be added to the  
file module in the future?

thanks,

Thank you Stavros

I have included this in 'pu', and will let it cook for a few days.
