Then you've got programs which do processing, and use low-level I/O
(open/read/write/close) or memory-mapped I/O.

For many of the GNU coreutils programs (i.e. classic Unix "filter"
programs), stdio is the interface of last resort. Even if they use
buffered I/O, they typically open() the file first then use fdopen() to
get a FILE* from the descriptor if they want it.
