Terms for bucket types

Hi all,

APR contains support for buckets represented by physical memory (HEAP and
IMMORTAL), as well as "virtual" buckets that consume virtually no memory
themselves, but that represent possibly large blocks of data (FILE).

Is there a term used within APR to categorize buckets of these two types?

Would "physical" buckets and "virtual" buckets make sense?

Regards,
Graham
