# Data IO (Python functions)
[TOC]
A TFRecords file represents a sequence of (binary) strings. The format is not
random access, so it is suitable for streaming large amounts of data but not
suitable if fast sharding or other non-sequential access is desired.

## TFRecords Format Details
A TFRecords file contains a sequence of strings with CRC hashes. Each record
has the format
uint64 length
uint32 masked_crc32_of_length
byte data[length]
uint32 masked_crc32_of_data
and the records are concatenated together to produce the file. The CRC32s
are [described here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check),
and the mask of a CRC is
masked_crc = ((crc >> 15) | (crc << 17)) + 0xa282ead8ul
