/*
 * bstack — persistent, fsync-durable binary stack backed by a single file.
 *
 * File format (16-byte header followed by payload):
 *   [0..8)  magic: "BSTK" + major(1) + minor(1) + patch(1) + reserved(1)
 *   [8..16) committed payload length, little-endian uint64
 *   [16..)  payload bytes
 *
 * All logical offsets are 0-based from the start of the payload region.
 *
 * Error handling
 * --------------
 * bstack_open  returns NULL on failure; errno is set by the failing syscall,
 *              or to EINVAL for bad/short headers, or to EWOULDBLOCK when
 *              another process holds the exclusive lock.
 * All other functions return 0 on success, -1 on failure with errno set.
 *
 * Thread safety
 * -------------
 * A pthread_rwlock protects each handle.  bstack_push / bstack_pop /
 * bstack_set hold a write lock; bstack_peek / bstack_get / bstack_len hold
 * a read lock and may run concurrently with each other.
 *
 * Multi-process safety
 * --------------------
 * bstack_open acquires an exclusive advisory flock(LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB).
 * The lock is released when bstack_close is called (fd is closed).
 *
 * Feature flags
 * -------------
 * Compile with -DBSTACK_FEATURE_SET to enable bstack_set.
