  2. Clobbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clobbering

    The default behavior of the mv and cp commands is to clobber their destination file if it already exists. This behavior may be overridden by invoking or aliasing the commands with the -i switch, causing the commands to prompt the user before overwriting the destination file, or -n to not transfer source files with a naming conflict.

  3. PowerShell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerShell

    These work by accessing data in different data stores, like the file system or Windows Registry, which are made available to PowerShell via providers. Third-party developers can add cmdlets and providers to PowerShell. [12] [13] Cmdlets may be used by scripts, which may in turn be packaged into modules. Cmdlets work in tandem with the .NET API.

  4. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    In addition to providing data-driven algorithm-determined parameters across virtual network interfaces, [1] it also allows for a specific type of polymorphism . The implementation in the subclass overrides (replaces) the implementation in the superclass by providing a method that has same name, same parameters or signature, and same return type ...

  5. Here document - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document

    Only the contents prior to this line are executed, and the contents of the source file after this line are available as a file object: PACKAGE::DATA in Perl (e.g., main::DATA) and DATA in Ruby. As an inline file, these are semantically similar to here documents, though there can be only one per script.

  6. Stack buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_buffer_overflow

    When Data Execution Prevention is enabled to forbid any execute access to the stack, the attacker can still use the overwritten return address (the instruction pointer) to point to data in a code segment (.text on Linux) or every other executable section of the program. The goal is to reuse existing code. [17]

  7. Data erasure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_erasure

    Data erasure (sometimes referred to as data clearing, data wiping, or data destruction) is a software-based method of data sanitization that aims to completely destroy all electronic data residing on a hard disk drive or other digital media by overwriting data onto all sectors of the device in an irreversible process. By overwriting the data on ...

  8. Ahead-of-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahead-of-time_compilation

    It is most commonly associated with the act of compiling a higher-level programming language such as C or C++, or an intermediate representation such as Java bytecode or Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code, into native machine code so that the resulting binary file can execute natively, just like a standard native compiler.

  9. Backup rotation scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_rotation_scheme

    A backup rotation scheme is a system of backing up data to computer media (such as tapes) that minimizes, by re-use, the number of media used.The scheme determines how and when each piece of removable storage is used for a backup job and how long it is retained once it has backup data stored on it.
