# Example showing file syscalls.
#
# Create a file, open it for writing, write a character to it, close it, open
# it for reading, read a character from it, close it, delete it, and return
# the character read.
#
# To run:
# $ bootstrap/bootstrap translate ex7.subx -o ex7
# $ bootstrap/bootstrap run ex7
# Expected result:
# $ echo $?
# 97
