  Description     : provides a way to atomically create or replace a file or symbolic link

 The renameio Go package provides a way to atomically create or replace a
 file or symbolic link.
 .
 Atomicity vs durability
 -----------------------
 .
 renameio concerns itself only with atomicity, i.e. making sure
 applications never see unexpected file content (a half-written file,
 or a 0-byte file).
 .
 As a practical example, consider https://manpages.debian.org/: if there
 is a power outage while the site is updating, we are okay with losing the
 manpages which were being rendered at the time of the power outage. They
 will be added in a later run of the software. We are not okay with having
 a manpage replaced by a 0-byte file under any circumstances, though.


Reason for packaging:
 * Required by honnef.co/go/tools,
   which in turn is required by golang-google-api v0.16.0 and above
