Everything in a UNIX system is a file...

Everything in a UNIX system is a file. Well, except things that aren't files, such as sockets.

# Physical disks are files—these have a fixed size, but you can seek to any point on the disk.
# Serial ports are files—these can be read from and written to, but seeking in a serial port has no meaning.
# Normal files are also files..

from the article - 10 Things i hate about UNIX
