Hi list, i have heard the terms file I/O and block I/O. I have very basic question:- What is difference between file I/O and block I/O ?? I mean file I/O itself a block I/O, isn't it? Can anyone explain in details, i shall be highly thankful. ~Vijay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
