chk_flob

Checks whether an object is a <code>flob()</code>.

Converts files to and from flobs.  A flob is a file that was
read into binary in integer-mode as little endian, saved as the single
element of a named list (where the name is the name of the original
file) and then serialized before being coerced into a blob.  Flobs are
useful for writing and reading files to and from databases.
