  2. Reference counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting

    As a collection algorithm, reference counting tracks, for each object, a count of the number of references to it held by other objects. If an object's reference count reaches zero, the object has become inaccessible, and can be destroyed. When an object is destroyed, any objects referenced by that object also have their reference counts decreased.

  3. Source lines of code - Wikipedia

    For example, instead of writing a program to create a window and draw a button, a user with a GUI tool can use drag-and-drop and other mouse operations to place components on a workspace. Code that is automatically generated by a GUI tool is not usually taken into consideration when using LOC methods of measurement.

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

  5. File descriptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor

    File descriptors for a single process, file table and inode table. Note that multiple file descriptors can refer to the same file table entry (e.g., as a result of the dup system call [3]: 104 ) and that multiple file table entries can in turn refer to the same inode (if it has been opened multiple times; the table is still simplified because it represents inodes by file names, even though an ...

  6. JData - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JData

    The BJData Python module, pybj, [4] enabling reading/writing BJData/UBJSON files, is also available on PyPI, Debian/Ubuntu and GitHub. For MATLAB and GNU Octave, JSONLab v2.0 is the reference implementation for the latest JData specification, and is available on Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and GitHub.

  7. read (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read_(system_call)

    The file is identified by a file descriptor that is normally obtained from a previous call to open. This system call reads in data in bytes, the number of which is specified by the caller, from the file and stores then into a buffer supplied by the calling process. The read system call takes three arguments: The file descriptor of the file.

  8. tar (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing)

    In computing, tar is a computer software utility for collecting many files into one archive file, often referred to as a tarball, for distribution or backup purposes. The name is derived from "tape archive", as it was originally developed to write data to sequential I/O devices with no file system of their own, such as devices that use magnetic tape.

  9. List of file signatures - Wikipedia

    Microsoft compressed file in Quantum format, used prior to Windows XP. File can be decompressed using Extract.exe or Expand.exe distributed with earlier versions of Windows. After compression, the last character of the original filename extension is replaced with an underscore, e.g. ‘Setup.exe’ becomes ‘Setup.ex_’. 46 4C 49 46: FLIF: 0 flif
