Stores


A store is essentially an array of bytes. UOS uses 64-bit pointers to access any point on the store. These pointers are integer offsets from the start of the store. So, a 1 Gb disk will have offsets 0 through 1,073,741,823. Thus, a 64-bit address range allows for a store as large as 18 quintillion bytes.
