Internal Storage System Procedures

The following table lists the MMIO services provided by internal I/O procedures:

┌──────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┐
│IOProc            │Description                         │
├──────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤
│DOS               │Handles standard OS/2 disk files.   │
├──────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤
│MEM (memory)      │Manages memory files without        │
│                  │accessing the file system.          │
│                  │A memory file is a block of memory  │
│                  │that is perceived as a file to an   │
│                  │application.  This unifies the      │
│                  │interface for applications that     │
│                  │access both files and memory.       │
├──────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤
│CF (compound file)│Supports the RIFF compound file     │
│                  │format.                             │
│                  │The CF IOProc operates on a compound│
│                  │file. The MMIO Manager provides     │
│                  │services to find, query, and access │
│                  │file elements in a compound file.   │
│                  │It also supports the function of    │
│                  │file compaction.                    │
