// Return the type of an open file
//
// Some file types on some platforms seem seekable but in fact are not.
// The main use of this function is to allow such cases to be detected
// (IsSeekable() is implemented as wxGetFileKind() == wxFILE_KIND_DISK).
//
// This is important for the archive streams, which benefit greatly from
// being able to seek on a stream, but which will produce corrupt archives
// if they unknowingly seek on a non-seekable stream.
//
// wxFILE_KIND_DISK is a good catch all return value, since other values
// disable features of the archive streams. Some other value must be returned
// for a file type that appears seekable but isn't.
//
// Known examples:
//   *  Pipes on Windows
//   *  Files on VMS with a record format other than StreamLF
