A system with 8 possible states, for example, can store up to log 2 8 = 3 bits of information. Other units that have been named include: Base b = 3 the unit is called "trit", and is equal to log 2 3 (≈ 1.585) bits. [3] Base b = 10 the unit is called decimal digit, hartley, ban, decit, or dit, and is equal to log 2 10 (≈ 3.322) bits. [2] [4 ...
Size (bits) Format specifier Range Suffix for decimal constants bool: Boolean type, added in C23. 1 (exact) %d [false, true] — char: Smallest addressable unit of the machine that can contain basic character set. It is an integer type. Actual type can be either signed or unsigned. It contains CHAR_BIT bits. [3] ≥8 %c [CHAR_MIN, CHAR_MAX ...
Many device interfaces or protocols (e.g., SATA, USB, SAS, PCIe) are used both inside many-device boxes, such as a PC, and one-device-boxes, such as a hard drive enclosure. Accordingly, this page lists both the internal ribbon and external communications cable standards together in one sortable table.
LBA = (C × HPC + H) × SPT + (S − 1) where C, H and S are the cylinder number, the head number, and the sector number; LBA is the logical block address; HPC is the maximum number of heads per cylinder (reported by disk drive, typically 16 for 28-bit LBA) SPT is the maximum number of sectors per track (reported by disk drive, typically 63 for ...
The initial version of cmd.exe for Windows NT was developed by Therese Stowell. [6] Windows CE 2.11 was the first embedded Windows release to support a console and a Windows CE version of cmd.exe. [7] The ReactOS implementation of cmd.exe is derived from FreeCOM, the FreeDOS command line interpreter. [2]
The kernel is stored in MSDOS.SYS with MS-DOS and in IO.SYS with Windows 9x. At this point, "normal" file access is available. Processes the MSDOS.SYS file with Windows 9x. Processes the CONFIG.SYS file, in MS-DOS 2.0 and higher and Windows 9x. Loads COMMAND.COM (or other operating system shell if specified). Displays the bootsplash in Windows 9x
Using a data size of 16 bits will cause only the bottom 16 bits of the 32-bit general-purpose registers to be modified – the top 16 bits are left unchanged.) The default OperandSize and AddressSize to use for each instruction is given by the D bit of the segment descriptor of the current code segment - D=0 makes both 16-bit, D=1 makes both 32 ...
Some commands are built into the command interpreter; others exist as external commands on disk. Over multiple generations, commands were added for additional functions. In Microsoft Windows, a command prompt window that uses many of the same commands, cmd.exe, can still be used.
