A file object provides a representation of a resource (either a physical device or a resource located on a physical
device) that can be managed by the I/O system. Like other objects, they enable sharing of the resource, they have
names, they are protected by object-based security, and they support synchronization. The I/O system also enables
reading from or writing to the resource.
