  2. 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. The array, set and dictionary binary types ...

  3. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports most object oriented programming (OOP) techniques. It allows polymorphism, not only within a class hierarchy but also by duck typing. Any object can be used for any type, and it will work so long as it has the proper methods and attributes. And everything in Python is an object, including classes, functions, numbers and modules.

  4. Naming convention (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention...

    In Python, if a name is intended to be "private", it is prefixed by one or two underscores. Private variables are enforced in Python only by convention. Names can also be suffixed with an underscore to prevent conflict with Python keywords. Prefixing with double underscores changes behaviour in classes with regard to name mangling.

  5. 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.

  6. Name mangling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_mangling

    In Java, the signature of a method or a class contains its name and the types of its method arguments and return value, where applicable. The format of signatures is documented, as the language, compiler, and .class file format were all designed together (and had object-orientation and universal interoperability in mind from the start).

  7. Serialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization

    Flow diagram. In computing, serialization (or serialisation, also referred to as pickling in Python) is the process of translating a data structure or object state into a format that can be stored (e.g. files in secondary storage devices, data buffers in primary storage devices) or transmitted (e.g. data streams over computer networks) and reconstructed later (possibly in a different computer ...

  8. Object identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_identifier

    Each node in the tree is represented by a series of integers separated by periods, corresponding to the path from the root through the series of ancestor nodes, to the node. Thus, an OID denoting Intel Corporation appears as follows, 1.3.6.1.4.1.343. and corresponds to the following path through the OID tree: 1 ISO

  9. Object file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_file

    The design and/or choice of an object file format is a key part of overall system design. It affects the performance of the linker and thus programmer turnaround while a program is being developed. If the format is used for executables, the design also affects the time programs take to begin running , and thus the responsiveness for users.
