/** @def APR_FOPEN_LARGEFILE 
 * @warning APR_FOPEN_LARGEFILE flag only has effect on some
 * platforms where sizeof(apr_off_t) == 4.  Where implemented, it
 * allows opening and writing to a file which exceeds the size which
 * can be represented by apr_off_t (2 gigabytes).  When a file's size
 * does exceed 2Gb, apr_file_info_get() will fail with an error on the
 * descriptor, likewise apr_stat()/apr_lstat() will fail on the
 * filename.  apr_dir_read() will fail with #APR_INCOMPLETE on a
 * directory entry for a large file depending on the particular
 * APR_FINFO_* flags.  Generally, it is not recommended to use this
 * flag.
 *
 * @def APR_FOPEN_SPARSE
 * @warning APR_FOPEN_SPARSE may, depending on platform, convert a
 * normal file to a sparse file.  Some applications may be unable
 * to decipher a sparse file, so it's critical that the sparse file
 * flag should only be used for files accessed only by APR or other
 * applications known to be able to decipher them.  APR does not
 * guarantee that it will compress the file into sparse segments
 * if it was previously created and written without the sparse flag.
 * On platforms which do not understand, or on file systems which
 * cannot handle sparse files, the flag is ignored by apr_file_open().
 *
 * @def APR_FOPEN_NONBLOCK
 * @warning APR_FOPEN_NONBLOCK is not implemented on all platforms.
 * Callers should be prepared for it to fail with #APR_ENOTIMPL.
