Half of (a). VFS doesn't deal with RAM (except the very nice function of loading a PRC/PDB into RAM), but you can use the File Streaming APIs on databases. The File Streaming APIs are just siting on top of the database structure (I believe since they were added later).

I just read the following statements about Palm OS on an article: "Applications access primary storage (directly addressable memory which includes storage RAM and dynamic RAM) either directly, in the case of most dynamic RAM, or through the Database and Resource Managers. To access secondary storage (add-on nonvolatile storage), however, applications use the Expansion and VFS Managers. These have been designed to support as broad a range of serial expansion architectures as possible." My question is: Does it mean (a) or (b)? (a) VFS cannot handle primary storage and I cannot use File Streaming APIs on primary storage, or (b) VFS can handle secondary storage in addition to primary storage?
