All Fortran I/O constucts are lowered by KAP into direct calls to the host system's I/O library. The Fortran I/O control specifiers, formatting, and data transfer extensions are provided by the library. The I/O variable list is rewritten as a sequence of data transfer requests embraced by some control structure to start and stop each I/O and to handle the I/O exceptions.
