PSR-14 events

The file abstraction layer (FAL) comes with a series of PSR-14 events that offer the opportunity to hook into FAL processes at a variety of points.

They are listed below with some explanation, in particular when they are sent (if the name is not explicit enough) and what parameters the corresponding event will receive. They are grouped by emitting class.

Most events exist in pairs, one being sent before a given operation, the other one after.
