   Current status: trying to figure out how POSIX fsync() interacts with POSIX mmap() if you're being standard-perverse, for reasons.

   (Spoiler: POSIX isn't designed to withstand people being standard-perverse.)

     My favorite part of POSIX is how the standard notes the dbm functions are not guaranteed to be able to store more than one value because they purposely do not specify a hash function and thus a function that hashes everything to the same value is allowed.
