expat question: processStream vs processFile/filemap

[James K. Tauber]

As I've mentioned before, I'm writing some documentation for expat and I'm
currently doing a walkthrough of xmlwf. My lack of knowledge of C file I/O
is letting me down.

Can somebody who has worked with the expat source (or who is at least
willing to have a quick look at xmlwf.c) tell me what the difference is
between using processStream and using processFile/filemap? Why is it a
command-line option?
Why would you pick one over the other?

Thanks

James
