A scatter-gather scheme uses the operating system to deliver in one operation multiple discrete chunks of data (such as database records) from a file to separate, noncontiguous buffers in memory. A scatter-gather scheme also writes the data from noncontiguous buffers in one operation.
An application can implement a scatter-gather scheme by using the ReadFileScatter and WriteFileGather functions.
