But if you are using the "standard" Unix file system, doesn't it read

extra overhead to which I was referring.
That tends to happen anyway, even on OSes which insist on record-oriented
I/O. For example, on DEC’s VMS, the record blocking layer is called “RMS”
(“Record Management Services”), and that usually copies records between
the user’s buffers and its own internal buffers (“move mode”). It is
possible to request “locate mode”, where it returns the address of a
record directly within its internal buffers. But there are many
restrictions on this, among other things:
* It only works for reads, not for writes
* It doesn’t work for records crossing block boundaries
* It doesn’t work for compressed records
So this record-copying overhead is not, in itself, a point against Unix-
style streaming I/O.
