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.
