I haven't read the C book for a while, but I am pretty sure that
they allow for a record-oriented file system. As with PL/I STREAM
output, though, the I/O library has to put the output from
multiple fprintf statements together until a '\n' is seen,
or the file is closed. So, no, the above statement does not
write a huge number of records. Strange things might happen if
you write too many dots on one record, though.
