  2. Working directory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_directory

    In the C language, the POSIX function chdir() effects the system call which changes the working directory. [11] Its argument is a text string with a path to the new directory, either absolute or relative to the old one. Where available, it can be called by a process to set its working directory. There are similar functions in other languages.

  3. pwd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwd

    Display the current working directory physical path - without symbolic link name, if any. Example: If standing in a dir /home/symlinked, that is a symlink to /home/realdir, this would show /home/realdir pwd -L: Display the current working directory logical path - with symbolic link name, if any.

  4. Fork–join model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork–join_model

    Implementations of the fork–join model will typically fork tasks, fibers or lightweight threads, not operating-system-level "heavyweight" threads or processes, and use a thread pool to execute these tasks: the fork primitive allows the programmer to specify potential parallelism, which the implementation then maps onto actual parallel execution. [1]

  5. Object–relational mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object–relational_mapping

    Object–relational mapping (ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping tool) in computer science is a programming technique for converting data between a relational database and the memory (usually the heap) of an object-oriented programming language.

  6. Hash join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_join

    The hash join is an example of a join algorithm and is used in the implementation of a relational database management system.All variants of hash join algorithms involve building hash tables from the tuples of one or both of the joined relations, and subsequently probing those tables so that only tuples with the same hash code need to be compared for equality in equijoins.

  7. Virtual method table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table

    An object's virtual method table will contain the addresses of the object's dynamically bound methods. Method calls are performed by fetching the method's address from the object's virtual method table. The virtual method table is the same for all objects belonging to the same class, and is therefore typically shared between them.

  8. Thread-local storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage

    TlsSetValue only affects the variable for the current thread. The TlsFree function can be called to release the TLS slot index. There is a Win32 Thread Information Block for each thread. One of the entries in this block is the thread-local storage table for that thread. [1] Each call of TlsAlloc returns a unique index

  9. Sort-merge join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sort-merge_join

    The sort-merge join (also known as merge join) is a join algorithm and is used in the implementation of a relational database management system. The basic problem of a join algorithm is to find, for each distinct value of the join attribute, the set of tuples in each relation which display that value. The key idea of the sort-merge algorithm is ...
