Any file to which data is spooled to await the next stage of processing. Especially used in circumstances where spooling the data copes with a mismatch between speeds in two devices or pieces of software. For example, when you send mail under Unix, it' s typically copied to a spool file to await a transport demon' s attentions. [Jargon File]
