  2. Relocation (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relocation_(computing)

    Relocation is the process of assigning load addresses for position-dependent code and data of a program and adjusting the code and data to reflect the assigned addresses. [1] [2] Prior to the advent of multiprocess systems, and still in many embedded systems, the addresses for objects are absolute starting at a known location, often zero.

  3. Environment variable - Wikipedia

    The %ProgramFiles% itself depends on whether the process requesting the environment variable is itself 32-bit or 64-bit (this is caused by Windows-on-Windows 64-bit redirection). %OneDrive% The %OneDrive% variable is a special system-wide environment variable found on Windows NT and its derivatives. Its value is the path of where (if installed ...

    A pipeline of three programs run on a text terminal Programs can be run together such that one program reads the output from another with no need for an explicit intermediate file. command1 | command2 executes command1 , using its output as the input for command2 (commonly called piping , with the " | " character being known as the "pipe").

  5. Cygwin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin

    The Cygwin DLL contains a console driver that emulates a Unix-style terminal within the Windows console. Cygwin's default user interface is the bash shell running in the Cygwin console. The DLL also implements pseudo terminal (pty) devices. Cygwin ships with a number of terminal emulators that are based on them, including mintty, rxvt/urxvt ...

  6. Position-independent code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code

    Multiple base registers could be used, for code or for data. Such instructions require less memory because they do not have to hold a full 24, 31, 32, or 64 bit address (4 or 8 bytes), but instead a base register number (encoded in 4 bits) and a 12–bit address offset (encoded in 12 bits), requiring only two bytes.

    Figure 1: Windows Explorer's folder view in Windows XP uses virtual folders as the root.. Windows uses the concept of special folders to present the contents of the storage devices connected to the computer in a fairly consistent way that frees the user from having to deal with absolute file paths, which can (and often do) change between operating system versions, and even individual ...
