A codec performs the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data while the data itself is stored in a file with a specific audio file format.

The. ra format allows files to be stored in a self-contained fashion on a computer, with all of the audio data contained inside the file itself.

The. ram file contains no audio data itself.

Vox format files are similar to wave files except that the vox files contain no information about the file itself so the codec sample rate and number of channels must first be specified in order to play a vox file.

Most file types also allocate a few bytes for metadata, which allows a file to carry some basic information about itself.

* The Linux kernel itself, where zlib is used to implement compressed network protocols, compressed file systems and to decompress the kernel image itself at boot time.

Data compression can be viewed as a special case of data differencing: Data differencing consists of producing a difference given a source and a target, with patching producing a target given a source and a difference, while data compression consists of producing a compressed file given a target, and decompression consists of producing a target given only a compressed file.

Compared to Web browsing, e-mail or many other uses of the internet, where data is only transferred in short intervals and relative small quantities, P2P file-sharing often consists of relatively heavy bandwidth usage due to ongoing file transfers and swarm / network coordination packets.

A modern spreadsheet file consists of multiple worksheets ( usually called by the shorter name sheets ) that make up one workbook, with each file being one workbook.

A Barrette Swiss pattern file is handy since its triangular shape with only one cutting face will allow you to work a surface without marring an adjoining one.

Although most audio file formats support only one type of audio data ( created with an audio coder ), a multimedia container format ( as Matroska or AVI ) may support multiple types of audio and video data.

There is one major uncompressed audio format, PCM, which is usually stored in a. wav file on Windows or in a. aiff file on Mac OS.

A file archiver is a computer program that combines a number of files together into one archive file, or a series of archive files, for easier transportation or storage.

* Extracting one file requires decompressing all the files that are before the file in the archive.

If dynamic re-routing is established, even if one or more nodes depart and abandon a downloading file, for example, the remaining nodes should still have the data needed to complete the download.

Like many programming languages, Perl has mechanisms to use external libraries of code, making one file contain common routines used by several programs.

A distribution may consist of one or more modules, documentation files, or programs packaged in a common archiving format, such as a gzipped tar archive or a ZIP file.

However, one track was reserved by DOS for directory and file allocation information ( so-called BAM, Block Allocation Map ).

Systems like the Compatible Time-Sharing System introduced the concept of a file system, which managed several virtual " files " on one storage device, giving the term its present-day meaning.

For example, a payroll file might contain information concerning all the employees in a company and their payroll details ; each record in the payroll file concerns just one employee, and all the records have the common trait of being related to payroll — this is very similar to placing all payroll information into a specific filing cabinet in an office that does not have a computer.
