I noticed that there are several comments with "iff" word instead of "if", and it looks like typos to me.

[flac-dev] [PATCH] "iff" instead of "if" in comments

The patch is attached."Iff" is commonly-used shorthand for the mathematical "if and only if", e.g., "returns true iff stat() succeeds for both files and they have the same device and inode" means it *won't* return true unless all of those conditions are satisfied.
