raw mode
n. A mode that allows a program to transfer bits directly to or from an I/O
device (or, under bogus operating systems that make a distinction, a disk
file) without any processing, abstraction, or interpretation by the
operating system. Compare rare mode , cooked mode. This is techspeak under
Unix, jargon elsewhere.
