There is also a `raw' inteface
which provides for direct transmission between the disk
and the user's read or write buffer.
A single read or write call results in exactly one I/O operation
and therefore raw I/O is considerably more efficient when
many words are transmitted.
The names of the raw HS files begin with
The same minor device considerations
hold for the raw interface as for the normal interface.
In raw I/O the buffer must begin on a word boundary,
and counts should be a multiple of 512 bytes
calls should specify a multiple of 512 bytes.
