<h1 class="topictitle1">Tips: Optical programming</h1>
<div><p>The following techniques are often helpful in designing custom
optical programs for your business.</p>
<p>This topic describes how the optical file system manages file data so application
programmers can optimize their applications. Since applications have different
requirements, this topic does not suggest the best way to write an optical
application. It does, however, provide explanations that all application programmers
could find useful.</p>
<p>Use this topic to determine the best way to handle optical file management,
either through the HFS or UNIX-type APIs. Use this topic only for applications
to directly attached optical support.</p>
<div class="p"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Concepts in this topic do not apply to optical LAN support.</div>
