A modern implementation of the Unix I/O interface requires hundreds of
thousands of lines of code, which address complex issues such as:
How are files represented on disk in order to allow efficient access?
How are directories stored, and how are hierarchical path names processed
to find the files they refer to?
What scheduling policies are used when there are concurrent accesses to
multiple files?
