453<h2 class='title'><a name="OVERVIEW">Overview</a></h2>
454
455<p>The CUPS file and directory APIs provide portable interfaces
456for manipulating files and listing files and directories. Unlike
457stdio <code>FILE</code> streams, the <code>cupsFile</code> functions
458allow you to open more than 256 files at any given time. They
459also manage the platform-specific details of locking, large file
460support, line endings (CR, LF, or CR LF), and reading and writing
461files using Flate ("gzip") compression. Finally, you can also
462connect, read from, and write to network connections using the
463<code>cupsFile</code> functions.</p>
464
465<p>The <code>cupsDir</code> functions manage the platform-specific
466details of directory access/listing and provide a convenient way
467to get both a list of files and the information (permissions,
468size, timestamp, etc.) for each of those files.</p>
