	\class BFile
	\brief BFile is a wrapper class for common operations on files providing
	access to the file's content data and its attributes.
	
	A BFile represents a file in some file system. It implements the
	BPositionIO interface and thus the methods to read from and write to the
	file, and is derived of BNode to provide access to the file's attributes.
