A <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#concatenated_stream"><I>concatenated stream</I></A> is an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#input"><I>input</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>stream</I></A> which is a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#composite_stream"><I>composite stream</I></A> of zero or more other <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#input"><I>input</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>streams</I></A>, such that the sequence of data which can be read from the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#concatenated_stream"><I>concatenated stream</I></A> is the same as the concatenation of the sequences of data which could be read from each of the constituent <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>streams</I></A>. <P>

Input from a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#concatenated_stream"><I>concatenated stream</I></A> is taken from the first of the associated <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#input"><I>input</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>streams</I></A> until it reaches <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#end_of_file"><I>end of file</I></A>[1]; then that <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>stream</I></A> is discarded, and subsequent input is taken from the next <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#input"><I>input</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>stream</I></A>, and so on. An <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#end_of_file"><I>end of file</I></A> on the associated <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#input"><I>input</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>streams</I></A> is always managed invisibly by the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#concatenated_stream"><I>concatenated stream</I></A>---the only time a client of a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#concatenated_stream"><I>concatenated stream</I></A> sees an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#end_of_file"><I>end of file</I></A> is when an attempt is made to obtain data from the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#concatenated_stream"><I>concatenated stream</I></A> but it has no remaining <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#input"><I>input</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>streams</I></A> from which to obtain such data. <P>
