No editing of the characters +is performed. +When the file is closed, a 100-character trailer is punched. + +When ppt___ is opened for reading, the process +waits until tape is placed in the reader and the reader +is on-line. +Then requests to read cause the characters read +to be passed back to the program, again without +any editing. +This means that several null leader characters +will usually appear at the beginning of the file. +Likewise several nulls are likely to appear at the end. +End-of-file is generated when the tape runs out. + +Seek calls for this file are meaningless. +.sp +.ti 0 +FILES /dev/ppt +.sp +.ti 0 +SEE ALSO -- +.sp +.ti 0 +BUGS -- |
