  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. Fully qualified name - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_name

    In DOS, the name is still relative to the root directory of the current disk, so to get a fully qualified file name, the file name must be prefixed with the drive letter and a colon, as in "C:\Users\Name\sample", where "C:" specifies the "C" drive. Also on the above systems, some programs such as the command-line shell will search a path for a ...

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

    A:\Temp\File.txt This path points to a file with the name File.txt, located in the directory Temp, which in turn is located in the root directory of the drive A:. C:..\File.txt This path refers to a file called File.txt located in the parent directory of the current directory on drive C:. Folder\SubFolder\File.txt

  5. Application binary interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface

    In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) is an interface between two binary program modules. Often, one of these modules is a library or operating system facility, and the other is a program that is being run by a user.

  6. Executable and Linkable Format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format

    An ELF file has two views: the program header shows the segments used at run time, whereas the section header lists the set of sections.. In computing, the Executable and Linkable Format [2] (ELF, formerly named Extensible Linking Format) is a common standard file format for executable files, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps.

  7. Binary-code compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-code_compatibility

    Full machine code compatibility would here imply exactly the same layout of interrupt service routines, I/O-ports, hardware registers, counter/timers, external interfaces and so on. For a more complex embedded system using more abstraction layers (sometimes on the border to a general computer, such as a mobile phone), this may be different.

  8. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    A built-in function, or builtin function, or intrinsic function, is a function for which the compiler generates code at compile time or provides in a way other than for other functions. [23] A built-in function does not need to be defined like other functions since it is built in to the programming language. [24]

  9. NTFS links - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_links

    Since NTFS 3.1, a symbolic link can also point to a file or remote SMB network path. While NTFS junction points support only absolute paths on local drives, the NTFS symbolic links allow linking using relative paths. Additionally, the NTFS symbolic link implementation provides full support for cross-filesystem links.
