  2. Buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow

    Visualization of a software buffer overflow. Data is written into A, but is too large to fit within A, so it overflows into B.. In programming and information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting adjacent memory locations.

  3. Buffer over-read - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_over-read

    Programming languages commonly associated with buffer over-reads include C and C++, which provide no built-in protection against using pointers to access data in any part of virtual memory, and which do not automatically check that reading data from a block of memory is safe; respective examples are attempting to read more elements than ...

  4. Resource management (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_management...

    For example, a BufferedReader may contain a InputStreamReader, which in turn contains a FileInputStream, and calling close on the BufferedReader in turn closes the InputStreamReader, which in turn closes the FileInputStream, which in turn releases the system file resource. Indeed, the object that directly uses the resource can even be anonymous ...

  5. Data buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer

    In computer science, a data buffer (or just buffer) is a region of memory used to store data temporarily while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a microphone) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers); however, a buffer may be used when data is moved between processes ...

  6. Readers–writers problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers–writers_problem

    In computer science, the readers–writers problems are examples of a common computing problem in concurrency. [1] There are at least three variations of the problems, which deal with situations in which many concurrent threads of execution try to access the same shared resource at one time.

  7. Protocol Buffers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers

    Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) is a free and open-source cross-platform data format used to serialize structured data. It is useful in developing programs that communicate with each other over a network or for storing data.

  8. Standard streams - Wikipedia

    For example, the file rename command (variously called mv, move, or ren) is silent on success. Unless redirected , standard output is inherited from the parent process. In the case of an interactive shell, that is usually the text terminal which initiated the program.

    Instead, they provide functions for writing a full line that automatically add the native newline sequence, and functions for reading lines that accept any of CR, LF, or CR + LF as a line terminator (see BufferedReader.readLine()). The System.lineSeparator() method can be used to retrieve the underlying line separator. Example:
