the idea i have is that the file is written, but to the alternate name. then when a .close() is done, the alternate file is closed, then it is renamed to the original name, replacing it. this is created by specifying a name to write to. if that name does not exist, it is opened in a normal way. but if it does exist, this code determines an alternate file name that can be renamed to the original an stay in the same filesystem. it's how editors typically save files.
there would be an option to abandon the file instead of close it. another method would get a copy of the alternate name.
i need better terminology for this.
