File Control Block

A File Control Block (FCB) is a file system structure in which the state of an open file is maintained. A FCB is managed by the operating system, but it resides in the memory of the program that uses the file, not in operating system memory. This allows a process to have as many files open at one time as it wants, provided it can spare enough memory for an FCB per file. The FCB originates from CP/M and is also present in most variants of DOS, though only as a backwards compatibility measure in M
