An _abstraction_ that unfies access to file, or network, system command, or ... You think about _having a connection_, then read data (txt, csv, ...) from it. How to use a particular connection varies. > con <- pipe("ls -1 /etc/R") > etcfile <- readLines(con) > close(con)

When one a file using read.csv(), R automatically opens and close the connection after the file is read, right?
