Abstract
A computer readable medium encoded with a computer program for performing streaming of character-based data from a storage system is provided. The computer program comprises code for fetching a block of data from the storage system, wherein the character-based data includes the block of the data; converting a portion of the block of the data into a part of a character; retaining a remaining part of the block, if any, the remaining part of the block of the data corresponding to a portion of the character and a portion of an additional character; and converting the remaining part of the block of the data into one of the portion of the character and the portion of the additional character in a next conversion responsive to the next conversion including the character or the additional character.
