  2. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or how much storage space it is allocated. Typically, file size is expressed in units based on byte . A large value is often expressed with a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte ) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte ).

  3. Zero-byte file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-byte_file

    An empty file has a minimum disk size that depends on the disk block size, which can also be referred to as cluster size or IO block size, that depends in turn on the filesystem. This IO block size can be discovered through different utilities in the operating system, such as stat in Unix systems. [2] [3] Typically 4096 bytes.

  4. Nuitka - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuitka

    Nuitka (pronounced as / n juː t k ʌ / [2]) is a source-to-source compiler which compiles Python code to C source code, applying some compile-time optimizations in the process such as constant folding and propagation, built-in call prediction, type inference, and conditional statement execution.

  6. File URI scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

    A valid file URI must therefore begin with either file:/path (no hostname), file:///path (empty hostname), or file://hostname/path. file://path (i.e. two slashes, without a hostname) is never correct, but is often used. Further slashes in path separate directory names in a hierarchical system of directories and subdirectories. In this usage ...

  7. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    In fact, if we consider files of length N, if all files were equally probable, then for any lossless compression that reduces the size of some file, the expected length of a compressed file (averaged over all possible files of length N) must necessarily be greater than N. [citation needed] So if we know nothing about the properties of the data ...

  8. Checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

    The simplest checksum algorithm is the so-called longitudinal parity check, which breaks the data into "words" with a fixed number n of bits, and then computes the bitwise exclusive or (XOR) of all those words. The result is appended to the message as an extra word.

  9. Filename extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename_extension

    A filename extension, file name extension or file extension is a suffix to the name of a computer file (for example, .txt, .mp3, .exe).The extension indicates a characteristic of the file contents or its intended use.
