Subject: read and write data to files
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2020 23:04:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zhd5c8ez.fsf@ebih.ebihd> (raw)
Is this any good?
For the intended purpose, for once, performance
might be an issue and there will be many, many
reading and writings back and forth (sensors,
actions based on sensor readings, and so on in
a loop).
So optimizations are perhaps finally called
for, if anyone has any :)
