  2. C file input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_file_input/output

    The C programming language provides many standard library functions for file input and output.These functions make up the bulk of the C standard library header <stdio.h>. [1] The functionality descends from a "portable I/O package" written by Mike Lesk at Bell Labs in the early 1970s, [2] and officially became part of the Unix operating system in Version 7.

  3. Mode (user interface) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(user_interface)

    In his book The Humane Interface, Jef Raskin defines modality as follows: "An human-machine interface is modal with respect to a given gesture when (1) the current state of the interface is not the user's locus of attention and (2) the interface will execute one among several different responses to the gesture, depending on the system's current state."

  4. open (system call) - Wikipedia

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

    Operations on the file, such as a write, can be seen by operations on the other descriptors: a later read can read the newly written data. During the open, the filesystem may allocate memory for buffers, or it may wait until the first operation. The absolute file path is resolved. This may include connecting to a remote host and notifying an ...

  5. chmod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

    Adds read permission for all classes (i.e. user, Group and Others) chmod a-x publicComments.txt: Removes execute permission for all classes chmod a+rx viewer.sh: Adds read and execute permissions for all classes chmod u=rw,g=r,o= internalPlan.txt: Sets read and write permission for user, sets read for Group, and denies access for Others

  6. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    For example, a program might contain several calls to read files, but the action to perform when a file is not found depends on the meaning (purpose) of the file in question to the program and thus a handling routine for this abnormal situation cannot be located in low-level system code.

  7. Readers–writer lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers–writer_lock

    Some RW locks allow the lock to be atomically upgraded from being locked in read-mode to write-mode, as well as being downgraded from write-mode to read-mode. Upgrading a lock from read-mode to write-mode is prone to deadlocks, since whenever two threads holding reader locks both attempt to upgrade to writer locks, a deadlock is created that ...

  8. Pin (computer program) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_(computer_program)

    JIT mode supports all features of Pin, while Probe mode supports a limited feature set but is far faster, adding almost no overhead to program's running time. JIT mode uses a just-in-time compiler to recompile all program code and insert instrumentation, while Probe mode uses code trampolines for instrumentation.

  9. Emacs Lisp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs_Lisp

    For example, Emacs Lisp cannot easily read a file a line at a time—the entire file must be read into an Emacs buffer. However, Emacs Lisp provides many features for navigating and modifying buffer text at a sentence, paragraph, or higher syntactic level as defined by modes. Here follows a simple example of an Emacs extension written in Emacs ...
