[comp.unix.questions] fio library routines

schmidt@blanche.ics.uci.edu (Doug Schmidt) (11/29/88)

I just finished an interesting article by Andrew Hume in the November,
1988 issue of Software: Practice and Experience.  In it he briefly
describes the ``fio'' library routines, that provide a fast and
portable input/output facility for C programs.  Are these routines
available anyplace?  Also, are they described more completely in other
moderately accessible literature?

thanks,

Doug Schmidt

a bundle of the fio man page and macros is available via anonymous ftp at arpa.att.com
robert elz (uunet!munnari!kre or something) has been talking to me about
a public domain implementation. the whole source is 600 lines of code so it
shouldn't be too hard.

anyone who gets the mk distribution (from AT&T toolchest)
has the fio source.
