Abstract
File input and output (I/O) is one of the trickiest aspects of any programming language because it is integrated so closely with the operating system. Operating systems vary greatly in the way they allow access to data in files and devices. This variation makes it extremely difficult to design I/O capabilities that are portable from one implementation of a programming language to another.
In good writing, words become one with things.
