1 # Example showing file syscalls.

 3 # Create a file, open it for writing, write a character to it, close it, open
 4 # it for reading, read a character from it, close it, delete it, and return
 5 # the character read.

 7 # To run:
 8 #   $ ./subx translate init.linux examples/ex7.subx -o examples/ex7
 9 #   $ ./subx run examples/ex7
10 # Expected result:
11 #   $ echo $?
