| |
| <P> |
| A Device is Direct if it provides access to its controlled sequences as in-memory arrays rather than <I>via</I> a socket-like interface. The difference between a Device which is Direct and one which is not is reflected in the specifications of the various Device refinements, <I>e.g.</I>, <A HREF="source.html">Source</A> and <A HREF="sink.html">Sink</A>.</P> |
| </P> |
| |
| <P> |
| A model of <A HREF="device.html">Device</A> which does not model Direct is called <SPAN CLASS="term">indirect</SPAN>. |
