PHP - Direct I/O Functions



PHP can support direct I/O functions as described in Posix Standard for performing I/O functions at a lower level than C-Language stream I/O functions (fopen(), read(), ..). The use of DIO functions could be considered only when direct control of a device has needed. In all other cases, standard filesystem functions are more than adequate.

This extension can be available only on Windows Platforms as of PHP 5.0.0.
