The functions declared in this header seem to be mostly unused. There are a few that seem to be used by shmem related things, such as GetShmemTempDir.
Summary: Trim down or remove file_util.h → Trim down or remove file_util*
Priority: -- → P3
I was going to file a bug for this, because I was looking into using shm_open (bug 1447867) for shared memory and wound up deleting all of file_util, but it turns out there already is one. The one other user of file_util is rand_util, which uses ReadFromFd on /dev/urandom, but I just gave it a static copy of that one function.

Note to self: also remove this reference to the org.chromium prefix (from bug 1510574).

There's a r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:jld, could you have a look please?

This is part of a series of patches that's being held until the next merge cycle.

With the removal of the old Chromium file_util code, we should no longer
be using temporary files with names starting with "org.chromium.", so the
crash reporter and main thread I/O test no longer need to recognize that
prefix.
