 *
 * @addtogroup data_files
 * @details This module define an abstract interface for generic data files by
 *          extending the @p BaseSequentialStream interface. Note that no code
 *          is present, data files are just abstract interface-like structures,
 *          you should look at the systems as to a set of abstract C++ classes
 *          (even if written in C). This system has the advantage to make the
 *          access to streams independent from the implementation logic.<br>
 *          The data files interface can be used as base class for high level
 *          object types such as an API for a File System implementation.
