     PHP supports the direct io functions as described in the Posix
     Standard (Section 6) for performing I/O functions at a lower
     level than the C-Language stream I/O functions
     (<function>fopen</function>, <function>fread</function>,..).  The use
     of the DIO functions should be considered only when direct 
     control of a device is needed.  In all other cases, the standard
     <link linkend="ref.filesystem">filesystem</link> functions are more
     than adequate.
