## 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:
# $ subx translate ex8.subx ex8
# $ subx run ex8
# Expected result:
# $ echo $?
# 97
