zeilenorientiert

Zeilenorientiert refers to a characteristic of data processing or storage where information is handled in units of lines. This approach is common in text-based systems, such as plain text files, log files, and command-line interfaces. In a zeilenorientiert system, data is read, written, and processed one line at a time, with lines typically delimited by newline characters. This method contrasts with byte-oriented or record-oriented processing, where data might be handled as individual bytes or structured records of varying lengths.

Many programming languages and tools are designed to work efficiently with zeilenorientiert data. For example, when reading a file, a common operation is to iterate through each line. Text editors and command-line utilities like `grep` or `sed` are inherently zeilenorientiert, operating on the input line by line. This simplicity makes zeilenorientiert processing easy to understand and implement for tasks involving textual data. However, it can sometimes be less efficient for very large files or when specific byte-level manipulation is required. The concept is fundamental to understanding how text data is managed and processed in many computing contexts.
