Abstract

Reading from standard input and writing to standard output works fine for many trivial programs, and it is a standard idiom for UNIX and related operating systems. Nonetheless, real programs must be able to open named files for reading, writing, or both. This Exploration introduces the basics of file I/O. Later Explorations will tackle more sophisticated I/O issues.
