Chapter 3 - Low-Level I/O Routines

UNIX Systems Programming for SVR4
David A. Curry
 Copyright © 1996 O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Chapter Summary
This chapter examined the I/O interface offered by all versions of the UNIX operating system. This interface is frequently called a low-level interface, because it does not provide any formatting or data conversion facilities (refer to the seeker program in Example 3-2). The next chapter discusses the Standard I/O Library, which is a high-level interface comparable to the built-in I/O operators in languages such as PASCAL and FORTRAN.
