Re: [LI] File structure and Distros

I was wondering about the byte sequence for multibyte encoding of these
files. Are they processor dependent or FS dependent ? How does I/O
handle such multibyte characters ? How does it compare to say JAVA ?

TIA.

What this means is that File I/O in Linux is "untyped". You just
treat files as a sequence of bytes and not records of a particular type
etc.
