  2. Berkeley sockets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets

    A non-blocking socket returns whatever is in the receive buffer and immediately continues. If not written correctly, programs using non-blocking sockets are particularly susceptible to race conditions due to variances in network link speed. [citation needed] A socket is typically set to blocking or non-blocking mode using the functions fcntl ...

  3. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    In computer science, an algorithm is called non-blocking if failure or suspension of any thread cannot cause failure or suspension of another thread; [1] for some operations, these algorithms provide a useful alternative to traditional blocking implementations. A non-blocking algorithm is lock-free if there is guaranteed system-wide progress ...

  4. Unix domain socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket

    The only range of communication difference is the method to convert a name to the address parameter needed to bind the socket's connection. For a Unix domain socket, the name is a /path/filename. For an Internet domain socket, the name is an IP address:Port number. In either case, the name is called an address. [3] Two processes may communicate ...

  5. Network socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_socket

    A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture.

  6. List of HTTP status codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

    203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1) The server is a transforming proxy (e.g. a Web accelerator) that received a 200 OK from its origin, but is returning a modified version of the origin's response. [1]: §15.3.4 [1]: §7.7 204 No Content The server successfully processed the request, and is not returning any content.

  7. Asynchronous I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

    But such an approach, called synchronous I/O or blocking I/O, would block the progress of a program while the communication is in progress, leaving system resources idle. When a program makes many I/O operations (such as a program mainly or largely dependent on user input ), this means that the processor can spend almost all of its time idle ...

  8. SOCKS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS

    Because packets are inspected at 7 OSI Level the application-SOCKS firewall may search for protocol non-compliance and blocking specified content. Dante is a circuit-level SOCKS server that can be used to provide convenient and secure network connectivity, requiring only the host Dante runs on to have external network connectivity.

  9. Kernel panic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic

    A kernel may also go into panic() if it is unable to locate a root file system. [10] During the final stages of kernel userspace initialization, a panic is typically triggered if the spawning of init fails. A panic might also be triggered if the init process terminates, as the system would then be unusable. [11]
