(It also needs other work; for example, there is no requirement for a delimiter character in a byte-stream-oriented file system, as, for example, a record can be written to such a file system as a length value followed by the record data. See talk page.) undo

This was a significant advantage of representing files as having record structures, in that it allowed much more flexibility for communication with devices, which at the time were more varied, expensive, and made available significantly less device driver code. undo Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
