+### load
+
+`load` works a bit like `poke` except that it reads its data from the currently
+active blockdev at its current position. If it hits the end of the blockdev
+before it could load its specified number of bytes, it stops. It only raises an
+error if it couldn't load any byte.

+### save
+
+`save` is the opposite of `load`. It writes the specified number of bytes from
+memory to the active blockdev at its current position.
