        File transmission occurs in chunks, which are requested
        through the `file_chunk_request` event.

        When a friend goes offline, all file transfers associated with the friend are purged from core.

        If the file contents change during a transfer, the behaviour
        is unspecified in general. What will actually happen depends
        on the mode in which the file was modified and how the client
        determines the file size.

        - If the file size was increased
            - and sending mode was streaming (file_size = UINT64_MAX), the behaviour will be as expected.
            - and sending mode was file (file_size != UINT64_MAX), the file_chunk_request callback will receive length =
            0 when Core thinks the file transfer has finished. If the client remembers the file size as it was when
            sending the request, it will terminate the transfer normally. If the client re-reads the size, it will think
            the friend cancelled the transfer.
        - If the file size was decreased
            - and sending mode was streaming, the behaviour is as expected.
            - and sending mode was file, the callback will return 0 at the new (earlier) end-of-file, signalling to the
            friend that the transfer was cancelled.
        - If the file contents were modified
            - at a position before the current read, the two files (local and remote) will differ after the transfer
            terminates.
            - at a position after the current read, the file transfer will succeed as expected.
            - In either case, both sides will regard the transfer as complete and successful.

        are reused after a transfer terminates. On failure, this function returns UINT32_MAX. Any pattern in file
        numbers should not be relied on.
