    Log Message:
    Don't attempt to print an emtpy filename, just return false

    Doing so would result in trying to open the ctrl_dir as a file which would either fail (possibly after several retries, delays) or just display nothing (e.g. if the ctrl dir was symlink)

    Log Message:
    Don't limit line-read-length to the console width when P_TRUNCATE mode is used

    Ctrl-A (and other attribute) codes don't print, but do count as chars in a line, so this is basically a work-around for using P_SEEK with color-encoded files. Just know that lines longer than the terminal is wide are going to be chopped (that's what the P_TRUNCATE mode flag does). This is not really expected to be functional for ANSI files.

    Log Message:
    Use fread() instead of read() to printfile (in P_OPENCLOSE mode)

    After reading a file's SAUCE record and seeking around (with fseek), a read() (on the file *descriptor*, not the stream) will fail, but only on *nix.
    Use fread() instead of read() to fix this.

    This fixes issue #1060, bug recently introduced in commit 29213fde9f24d62b7e20 (reading/using SAUCE records in display files). Thanks Keyop! I had a few of these errors recently logged as well but chalked it up to something
    ephemeral and not reproducible. It was 100% reproducible.

    Log Message:
    Always reseek to the correct line offset when END key used in P_SEEK mode

    Sometimes, if the next line happened to be the first line of the last page
    of the file, an END key press would just stop the file viewing.
    This fixes that.
