The Models-3 Input/Output Applications Programming Interface (I/O API) is
|
|
a selective and direct-access programming interface to the data: you tell
|
|
the system what variables and dates and times you're talking about and it
|
|
figures all the stuff about record numbers, etc., for itself. Also, you
|
|
don't have to read the data in consecutive order, or to write it in order,
|
|
either -- you just ask for what you want, and the I/O API finds it for you
|
|
(although there are moderate performance penalties for writing data out-of-
|
|
order). The files are self-describing files -- that is, the file headers
|
|
have all the dimensioning and descriptive information needed about the data
|
|
in them.
