  2. Child process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_process

    The child process can then overlay itself with a different program (using exec) as required. [1] Each process may create many child processes but will have at most one parent process; if a process does not have a parent this usually indicates that it was created directly by the kernel.

  3. Asynchronous I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

    Like the process method, but with lower overhead and without the data isolation that hampers coordination of the flows. Each LWP or thread itself uses traditional blocking synchronous I/O, which simplifies programming logic; this is a common paradigm used in many programming languages including Java and Rust.

  4. Node stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_stream

    A node stream is a method of transferring large amounts of data on mobile devices or websites (such as uploading detailed photographs) by breaking the file or data down into manageable chunks. [1]

  5. Event loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_loop

    A web page and its JavaScript typically run in a single-threaded web browser process. The browser process deals with messages from a queue one at a time. A JavaScript function or another browser event might be associated with a given message. When the browser process has finished with a message, it proceeds to the next message in the queue.

  6. Zombie process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process

    In the term's metaphor, the child process has "died" but has not yet been "reaped". Unlike normal processes, the kill command has no effect on a zombie process. Zombie processes should not be confused with orphan processes, a process that is still executing, but whose parent has died. When the parent dies, the orphaned child process is adopted ...

  7. wait (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_(system_call)

    This special process detects when an orphan process terminates and then retrieves its exit status, allowing the system to deallocate the terminated child process. If a child process receives a signal, a waiting parent will then continue execution leaving an orphan process behind. [citation needed] Hence it is sometimes needed to check the ...

  8. Parent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_process

    Parent is the process that receives the SIGCHLD signal on child's termination, whereas real parent is the thread that actually created this child process in a multithreaded environment. For a normal process, both these two values are same, but for a POSIX thread which acts as a process, these two values may be different. [2]

  9. Document Object Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model

    The Document Object Model (DOM) is a cross-platform and language-independent interface that treats an HTML or XML document as a tree structure wherein each node is an object representing a part of the document.
