* @file
* File management
* Handling Files is splitted into different classes:
* 1. The 'lumiera_file' class which acts as interface to the outside for managing files.
* 'lumiera_file' is addressed by the name of the file. Since files can have more than one name (hardlinks)
* many 'lumiera_file' can point to a single 'lumiera_filedescriptor'
* 2. The 'lumiera_filedescriptor' class which does the real work managing the file in the back.
* 3. Since OS-filehandles are a limited resource we access the lazily as 'lumiera_filehandle' which are
* managed in a 'lumiera_filehandlecache'
