  2. List of file signatures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

    However, some file signatures can be recognizable when interpreted as text. In the table below, the column "ISO 8859-1" shows how the file signature appears when interpreted as text in the common ISO 8859-1 encoding, with unprintable characters represented as the control code abbreviation or symbol, or codepage 1252 character where available ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsec_(software)

    Parsec is a proprietary remote desktop application primarily used for playing games through video streaming. Using Parsec, a user can stream video game footage through an Internet connection, allowing one to run a game on one computer but play it remotely through another device.

  4. Non-physical true random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-physical_true_random...

    An NPTRNG is inherently less trustworthy that its physical random number generator counterpart, as the non-physical noise sources require specific conditions to work, thus the entropy estimates require major assumptions about the external environment and skills of an attacker. [5] Typical attacks include: [6]

  5. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    Unicode text files encoded in UTF-16 often start with the Byte Order Mark to detect endianness (FE FF for big endian and FF FE for little endian). And on Microsoft Windows, UTF-8 text files often start with the UTF-8 encoding of the same character, EF BB BF. LLVM Bitcode files start with "BC" (42 43).

  6. Property list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list

    In the binary file format the magic number (the first few bytes of the file which indicate that it's a valid plist file) is the text bplist, followed by two bytes indicating the version of the format. The binary file can store some information that cannot be captured in the XML or JSON file formats.

  7. Text file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_file

    Prior to the advent of macOS, the classic Mac OS system regarded the content of a file (the data fork) to be a text file when its resource fork indicated that the type of the file was "TEXT". [7] Lines of classic Mac OS text files are terminated with CR characters. [8] Being a Unix-like system, macOS uses Unix format for text files. [8]

  8. Real data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_data_type

    A real data type is a data type used in a computer program to represent an approximation of a real number. Because the real numbers are not countable, computers cannot represent them exactly using a finite amount of information. Most often, a computer will use a rational approximation to a real number.

  9. Native and foreign format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_and_foreign_format

    However, when these text files or documents are opened, they are not necessarily edited in their original format. Instead, the document writer may first convert the file into its own native data structure. Once the file is done being edited, the application will then convert the file back to its original format.
