Looks about right ... of course, that's only if you want to use the 
GNUstep specific code
for efficiency.  If you want something more portable, you may be able to 
use NSFileHandle -
but I guess you know about that and need something it doesn't do.

The NSFileHandle code uses the lower-level API anyway, so you can look 
at that as an example.
