Thanks Mennetau, nice answer.
One more though. What is the difference between fopen and open?
Why is there an fopen call when open seems to do it all, and even
better? Is fopen better buffered, or what?
fopen is a higher level call that gives you access to higher level calls
such as fgets/fgetws (get string/wstrinf from afile) that you don"t get
with read.
Anyhow, for my case, I don't want any buffering.
Do you have any idea how I can ask the OS what is it's preferred file
I/O read/write size?
perhaps with sysctl. For example, you can get the software page size and
any I/O operation is a multiple of that value
