So I can't actually use a FILE open for reading and writing that refers
to something non-seekable, like a serial line, to both read and write to
it? I mean, I suppose I could write something and then flush and stay in
read mode forever, but that is not really the nature of my application.
I suppose I'll just open the serial line twice.
