Abstract: CIO is a package of C and MACRO-11 subroutines to do general
purpose file I/O on a PDP-11 under RSX-11M-PLUS.  The
package was developed and tested under RSX-11M-PLUS Version
2.1, but should be upward compatible since the standard FCS
MACROs were used to do the low level I/O.
 
Features
. Allows you to create files that are read compatible with
  the DECUS C standard I/O routines.
. Allows you to create fixed length record files.
  Sequential and random access are both supported.  The
  maximum record length supported at this time is 512 bytes.
. Allows you to create fixed length block files.
  Sequential and random access are both supported.  This is
  the fastest type of I/O on the PDP because it is unbuffered.
  Another feature of block oriented files is that it allows
  you to read/write C structures from/to a file.  The maximum
  block size currently allowed is up to 32,760 bytes.
. Allows limited device independence for file I/O.
. Has the same type of support routines that standard I/O
  library has.  Following are some examples of these routines:
 openf()  == fopen()
 closef() == fclose()
        fprntf() == fprintf()
        fscnf()  == fscanf()
        putcf()  == fputc()
        getcf()  == fgetc()
        writef() == write()
        readf()  == read()
 
Restrictions: DECUS C Compiler that supports I/D space split is
required.  For a description
of this software see DECUS No. 11S105.
