readlink
utime / utimes / futimes / futimens / l..
more mk*temp calls
- readdir / readdir-and-stat
some sort of alloc/fallocate/posix_fallocate call to create empty space
realpath
trunc[ate??]
- getfattr (also useful because gives us access to NTFS datastreams)
- setfattr
ext2 properties:
chattr

+Some easy non-Augeas methods to edit configuration files.
+I'm thinking:
+
+ replace /etc/file key value
+
+which would look in /etc/file for any instances of
+
+ key=...
+ key ...
+ key:...
+
+and replace them with
+
+ key=value
+ key value
+ key:value
+
+That would solve about 50% of reconfiguration needs, and for the
+rest you'd use Augeas, 'download'+'upload' or 'edit'.
