borrowed reference.

+Conversely, when a calling function passes in a reference to an object, there
are two possibilities: the function *steals* a reference to the object, or it
does not. *Stealing a reference* means that when you pass a reference to a
function, that function assumes that it now owns that reference, and you are not

following the functions which accept them as parameters.

+Note also that several of these functions take :ctype:`FILE\*` parameters. One
particular issue which needs to be handled carefully is that the :ctype:`FILE`
structure for different C libraries can be different and incompatible. Under
Windows (at least), it is possible for dynamically linked extensions to actually
