  2. Redirection (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In computing, redirection is a form of interprocess communication, and is a function common to most command-line interpreters, including the various Unix shells that can redirect standard streams to user-specified locations. The concept of redirection is quite old, dating back to the earliest operating systems (OS).

  3. dup (system call) - Wikipedia

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

    Unix shells use dup2 for input/output redirection. Along with pipe(), it is a tool on which Unix pipes rely. The following example uses pipe() and dup() in order to connect two separate processes (program1 and program2) using Unix pipes:

  4. Dangling pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_pointer

    Another solution would be to somehow guarantee dp is not used again without further initialization. Another frequent source of dangling pointers is a jumbled combination of malloc() and free() library calls: a pointer becomes dangling when the block of memory it points to is freed.

  5. Signal (IPC) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(IPC)

    They are a limited form of inter-process communication (IPC), typically used in Unix, Unix-like, and other POSIX-compliant operating systems. A signal is an asynchronous notification sent to a process or to a specific thread within the same process to notify it of an event.

  6. ioctl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioctl

    On Unix operating systems, two other vectored call interfaces are popular: the fcntl ("file control") system call configures open files, and is used in situations such as enabling non-blocking I/O; and the setsockopt ("set socket option") system call configures open network sockets, a facility used to configure the ipfw packet firewall on BSD ...

  7. Common Object Request Broker Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Object_Request...

    This is how it is implemented in practice: The application initializes the ORB, and accesses an internal Object Adapter, which maintains things like reference counting, object (and reference) instantiation policies, and object lifetime policies. The Object Adapter is used to register instances of the generated code classes. Generated code ...

  8. UUCP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUCP

    UUCP (Unix-to-Unix Copy) [1] is a suite of computer programs and protocols allowing remote execution of commands and transfer of files, email and netnews between computers.. A command named uucp is one of the programs in the suite; it provides a user interface for requesting file copy operations.

  9. chroot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot

    chroot is an operation on Unix and Unix-like operating systems that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children. A program that is run in such a modified environment cannot name (and therefore normally cannot access) files outside the designated directory tree.
