  2. binfmt_misc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binfmt_misc

    binfmt_misc (Miscellaneous Binary Format) is a capability of the Linux kernel which allows arbitrary executable file formats to be recognized and passed to certain user space applications, such as emulators and virtual machines. [1] It is one of a number of binary format handlers in the kernel that are involved in preparing a user-space program ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_(Unix)

    The archiver, also known simply as ar, is a Unix utility that maintains groups of files as a single archive file.Today, ar is generally used only to create and update static library files that the link editor or linker uses and for generating .deb packages for the Debian family; it can be used to create archives for any purpose, but has been largely replaced by tar for purposes other than ...

    concatenate the above three values into a string separated by the period character; this is the new filename; if stat() reports that the filename exists, then wait two seconds; go to previous step until the filename does not exist; create a file with the unique filename and write the message contents to the new file

    in place of the hostname. The string "localhost" will attempt to access the file as UNC path \\localhost\c:\path\to\the file.txt, which will not work since the colon is not allowed in a share name. The dot "." results in the string being passed as \\.\c:\path\to\the file.txt, which will work for local files

  6. Symbolic link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link

    A symbolic link contains a text string that is automatically interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory. This other file or directory is called the "target". The symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. If a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected.

  7. 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.

  8. Decimal data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_data_type

    C# has a built-in data type decimal consisting of 128 bits resulting in 28–29 significant digits. It has an approximate range of ±1.0 × 10 −28 to ±7.9228 × 10 28. [1] Starting with Python 2.4, Python's standard library includes a Decimal class in the module decimal. [2] Ruby's standard library includes a BigDecimal class in the module ...

  9. Arithmetic coding - Wikipedia

    This is feasible for long sequences because there are efficient, in-place algorithms for converting the base of arbitrarily precise numbers. To decode the value, knowing the original string had length 6, one can simply convert back to base 3, round to 6 digits, and recover the string.
