Yahoo! GeoCities is a Web hosting service. GeoCities was originally founded by David Bohnett and John Rezner in late 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet (BHI), and by 1999 GeoCities was the third-most visited Web site on the World Wide Web. In its original form, site users selected a "city" in which to place their Web pages. The "cities" were metonymously named after real cities or regions according to their content—for example, computer-related sites were placed in "SiliconValley" and those dealing with entertainment were assigned to "Hollywood"—hence the name of the site. Shortly after its acquisition by Yahoo!, this practice was abandoned in favor of using the Yahoo! member names in the URLs.
<br /><br />
In April 2009, approximately ten years after Yahoo! bought GeoCities, the company announced that it would shut down the United States GeoCities service on October 26, 2009. There were at least 38 million user-built pages on GeoCities before it was shut down.

<!-- END WAYBACK TOOLBAR INSERT --><h1>Filesystem Functions in <i>var'aq</i></h1><br>
<h3>De'ghomjangwI'mey</h3><p>
<h3>F.1 Introduction</h3><p>
<h4>F.1.1 vfs Described</h4><p>
This page describes a simple filesystem extension to the <i>var'aq</i>
programming language. It is a fairly simple scheme that gives little or no
thought to the intricacies of security on a <i>var'aq</i>-based system;
its primary functions are limited to creating, reading, writing, and
appending files and it makes no pretensions of being a production-quality
filesystem. <p>
Certain non-Earthly features do exist, however; there is no concept of a
file descriptor inherent in the design. File reads and writes are done by
copying text data (no binary data at this stage) into and out of strings.
(A close equivalent to a file descriptor in vfs would be a variable with
an attached pathname; this is a fairly common idiom in systems that must
keep constant access to specific files, but is not explicitly a part of
the filesystem.) <p>
<h4>F.1.2 Pathnames/<i>SammoHpongmey</i></h4><p>
This document makes frequent reference to pathnames (<i>SammoHpongmey</i>
or beacon-names). The precise meaning of this term approximates the Earth
understanding of the term, though it may also include out-of-band
information such as authentication tickets and content filters.
<h4>F.1.3 vfs Error Codes</h4><p>
All vfs functions have basically similar error semantics. Since the system
is stateless, any function that cannot find the file it's looking for will
return a null pathname (SammoH Hegh, dead beacon).
<h3>F.2 Creating and Deleting Files</h3><p>
<h4>F.2.1 fcreate/cher_De'ghom</h4><p>
<i>pathname <b>cher_De'ghom</b> -</i><p>
Creates a file with the specified <i>pathname</i>.
<h4>F.2.2 flock/Doq_De'ghom</h4><p>
<i>pathname <b>Doq_De'ghom</b> -</i><p>
Restricts write access to the file at <i>pathname</i> to the current
process. Generally used in roughly the same place as an <i>fopen()</i> in
C, though the semantics are drastically different.<p>
<h4>F.2.3 funlock/DoqHa'_De'ghom</h4><p>
<i>pathname <b>DoqHa'_De'ghom</b> -</i><p>
Unlocks the file at <i>pathname</i>. This is generally handled by the
filesystem garbage collector at process termination time, but it is
considered good practice to take care of it yourself, especially in an
embedded environment.<p>
<h4>F.2.4 fdelete/HoH_De'ghom</h4><p>
<i>pathname <b>HoH_De'ghom</b> -</i><p>
Removes the file at <i>pathname</i>. <p>
<h3>F.3 Reading and Writing Files</h3><p>
<h4>F.3.1 fread/jotlh_De'ghom</h4><p>
<i>pathname <b>jotlh_De'ghom</b> str </i><p>
Copies the contents of the file at <i>pathname</i> into <i>str</i>;
returns null pathname on failure.<p>
<h4>F.3.2 fwrite/tatlh_De'ghom</h4><p>
<i>str pathname <b>tatlh_De'ghom</b> -</i><p>
Replaces the contents of the file at <i>pathname</i> with <i>str</i>.<p>
