* if its mode is <tt>'r'</tt>, <tt>'w'</tt>, or <tt>'r+'</tt>.
* - At the end (position <tt>self.size</tt>)

* Methods to query the position:

* - IO#tell and its alias IO#pos return the position for an open stream.
* - IO#eof? and its alias IO#eof return whether the position is at the end
* of a readable stream.
*
* Reading from a stream usually changes its position:

* Writing to a stream usually changes its position:
*
* f = File.open('t.tmp', 'w')
* f.tell # => 0
* f.write('foo') # => 3
* f.tell # => 3
* f.write('bar') # => 3
* f.tell # => 6

*
* Iterating over a stream usually changes its position:
*
* f = File.open('t.txt')
* f.each do |line|
* p "position=#{f.pos} eof?=#{f.eof?} line=#{line}"
* end
*
* Output:
*
* "position=19 eof?=false line=This is line one.\n"
* "position=45 eof?=false line=This is the second line.\n"
* "position=70 eof?=true line=This is the third line.\n"
*
* The position may also be changed by certain other methods:
*
* - IO#pos= and IO#seek change the position to a specified offset.
* - IO#rewind changes the position to the beginning.
