bio.h

/* =============================================================================
 * PROGRAM:  CODE LIBRARY
 * FILENAME: bio.h
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Buffered I/O package.
 *
 * Allows multiple small reads and writes to be handled efficiently.
 * Probably not so good for large reads/writes.
 * Excellent for reading IFF pictures though.
 *
 * Duplicates the Amiga DOS functions and are used in exactly the same
 * way as their counterparts as described in the Amiga technical reference
 * Manual (Libraries and devices).
