/*
 * C programming idea: Handling temporary files like memory allocations
 * (allocating -> creating empty file, using -> locking for R/W,
 * freeing -> deleting).
 *
 * 20% AI, 80% human (the code is tested and reviewed)
 *
 * Warning: The current result is quick and dirty. Not for educational or
 * production purposes.
 *
 * GCC/Clang/TCC: Compile with -DTEST to set macro TEST as defined, with
 * -DDEBUG to enable debug mode
 *
 * To-Do: Test: Fix the bug with invalid next size to reallocate
 * To-Do: Test: Automate the test verification
