Fast Data Transfer 0.9.1 (Default branch)
04-23-2008
FDT is an application for efficient data transfersthat is capable of reading and writing at diskspeed over wide area networks (with standard TCP).It can be used to stream a large set of filesacross the network, so a large dataset composedof thousands of files can be sent or received atfull speed, without the network transferrestarting between files. It is written in Java,runs an all major platforms, and is easy to use.License: Other/Proprietary LicenseChanges:|

orientation(5) File Formats Manual orientation(5) NAME
orientation - the orientation of a stream DESCRIPTION
The orientation of a stream is a property of a object that is handled as a input/output stream. It is useful when the input/output model assumes that characters are handled as wide-characters within an application and stored as multi-byte characters in files, and that all the wide-character input/output functions begin executing with the stream positioned at the boundary between two multi-byte characters. After a stream is associated with a file, but before any operations are performed on the stream, the stream is without orientation. If a wide-character input or output function is applied to a stream without orientation, the stream becomes wide-oriented implicitly. Likewise, if a byte input or output operation is applied to a stream without orientation, the stream becomes byte-oriented implicitly. Only the function can alter the orientation of a stream explicitly when the stream is without orientation. Just after a stream is associated with a pipe by the function, the stream is byte-oriented. After the stream becomes byte-oriented or wide-oriented, the orientation of a stream will be fixed and can not be changed until the stream is closed. The following functions are wide-character input/output functions. The following functions are byte input/output functions. EXAMPLES
To read characters from a stream when the orientation of the stream is unknown : WARNINGS
If byte input/output functions are applied to a wide-oriented stream or wide-character input/output functions are applied to a byte-ori- ented stream, the behavior is undefined. AUTHOR
The functionality of the orientation of a stream was developed by HP and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. SEE ALSO
