  2. 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 ...

  3. File-system permissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions

    The read permission grants the ability to read a file. When set for a directory, this permission grants the ability to read the names of files in the directory, but not to find out any further information about them such as contents, file type, size, ownership, permissions. The write permission grants the ability to modify a file. When set for ...

  5. Asynchronous serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_serial...

    Asynchronous start-stop is the lower data-link layer used to connect computers to modems for many dial-up Internet access applications, using a second (encapsulating) data link framing protocol such as PPP to create packets made up out of asynchronous serial characters. The most common physical layer interface used is RS-232D.

  6. Working directory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_directory

    In computing, the working directory of a process is a directory of a hierarchical file system, if any, [nb 1] dynamically associated with the process. It is sometimes called the current working directory (CWD) , e.g. the BSD getcwd [ 1 ] function, or just current directory . [ 2 ]

  7. Directory (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In a hierarchical file system (that is, one in which files and directories are organized in a manner that resembles a tree), a directory contained inside another directory is called a subdirectory. The terms parent and child are often used to describe the relationship between a subdirectory and the directory in which it is cataloged, the latter ...

  8. MicroPython - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroPython

    MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of Python with libraries similar to those in Python. [25] Some standard Python libraries have an equivalent library in MicroPython renamed to distinguish between the two. MicroPython libraries are smaller with less popular features removed or modified to save memory. [19]

  9. Hierarchical file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_file_system

    Files are searched relative to the working directory, rather than from the root directory. At logon, the user's working directory is set to their home directory; it can be set afterwards by using a command. [8] A relative path represents the directory nodes visited from the working directory to the file, rather than from the root directory to ...
