  2. C file input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_file_input/output

    The C programming language provides many standard library functions for file input and output.These functions make up the bulk of the C standard library header <stdio.h>. [1] The functionality descends from a "portable I/O package" written by Mike Lesk at Bell Labs in the early 1970s, [2] and officially became part of the Unix operating system in Version 7.

  3. Mode (user interface) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(user_interface)

    In his book The Humane Interface, Jef Raskin defines modality as follows: "An human-machine interface is modal with respect to a given gesture when (1) the current state of the interface is not the user's locus of attention and (2) the interface will execute one among several different responses to the gesture, depending on the system's current state."

  4. chmod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

    Adds read permission for all classes (i.e. user, Group and Others) chmod a-x publicComments.txt: Removes execute permission for all classes chmod a+rx viewer.sh: Adds read and execute permissions for all classes chmod u=rw,g=r,o= internalPlan.txt: Sets read and write permission for user, sets read for Group, and denies access for Others

  5. open (system call) - Wikipedia

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

    Operations on the file, such as a write, can be seen by operations on the other descriptors: a later read can read the newly written data. During the open, the filesystem may allocate memory for buffers, or it may wait until the first operation. The absolute file path is resolved. This may include connecting to a remote host and notifying an ...

  6. Read–eval–print loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read–eval–print_loop

    The development environment then returns to the read state, creating a loop, which terminates when the program is closed. REPLs facilitate exploratory programming and debugging because the programmer can inspect the printed result before deciding what expression to provide for the next read. The read–eval–print loop involves the programmer ...

  7. System call - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_call

    The architecture of most modern processors, with the exception of some embedded systems, involves a security model.For example, the rings model specifies multiple privilege levels under which software may be executed: a program is usually limited to its own address space so that it cannot access or modify other running programs or the operating system itself, and is usually prevented from ...

  8. Readers–writer lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers–writer_lock

    Upgrading a lock from read-mode to write-mode is prone to deadlocks, since whenever two threads holding reader locks both attempt to upgrade to writer locks, a deadlock is created that can only be broken by one of the threads releasing its reader lock. The deadlock can be avoided by allowing only one thread to acquire the lock in "read-mode ...

  9. Programmed input–output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_input–output

    Programmed input–output (also programmable input/output, programmed input/output, programmed I/O, PIO) is a method of data transmission, via input/output (I/O), between a central processing unit (CPU) and a peripheral device, [1] such as a Parallel ATA storage device.
