Yep. And they are different kinds of devices: Character special, FIFO (named pipe), block special. Character special devices read data one character at a time. Named pipes are just open channels that take in data from one end and pump it out the other end. And block devices are like character devices except they move data through in larger chunks.

Techie.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
