you alr told me :)
i was indulging our crustacean friend here in an "but if we made the tape infinite anyways" scenario because i thought that you can still do that with C and i dont mind someone hellbent on failing my theory to run the numbers, to the contrary

>File descriptors are not part of C,
defined in iso

read and open are defined in ansi i think
fd are system-defined but you need only one

>They're still limited because fseek, fread, and fwrite can't be infinite
heres the trick: fread/read advances an internal, abstract pointer so to speak by how many bytes you have read
you dont need an infinite number, you fread repeatedly an infinite amount of times
and you dont even need a number to rewind back to the beginning
>but what about reading PAST the beginning
then you write your program at the infinite place in your tape.
then when you rewind to the beginning, you still only need to read forward to read all your program, even if written backwards, and of infinite size
because infinities
