Répertoire personnelA home directory is a on a multi-user operating system containing for a given user of the system. The specifics of the home directory (such as its name and location) are defined by the operating system involved; for example, Linux / BSD () systems use /home/ or /usr/home/ and Windows systems between 2000 and Server 2003 keep home directories in a folder named Documents and Settings. A user's home directory is intended to contain that user's files; including text documents, music, pictures, videos, etc.
Système d'exploitationEn informatique, un système d'exploitation (souvent appelé OS — de l'anglais operating system — ou parfois SE — en français) est un ensemble de programmes qui dirige l'utilisation des ressources d'un ordinateur par des logiciels applicatifs. Il reçoit des demandes d'utilisation des ressources de l'ordinateur de la part des logiciels applicatifs. Le système d'exploitation gère les demandes ainsi que les ressources nécessaires évitant les interférences entre les logiciels.
Noyau Linuxvignette|upright=2|Couches de fonctions du Noyau Linux Le noyau Linux est un noyau de système d'exploitation de type UNIX. Il est utilisé dans plusieurs systèmes d'exploitation dont notamment GNU/Linux (couramment appelé « Linux ») et Android. Le noyau Linux est un logiciel partiellement libre (contenant des BLOB et des modules non-libre - consultez Linux-libre) développé essentiellement en langage C par des milliers de bénévoles et salariés collaborant sur Internet.
PATH (variable)PATH is an environment variable on Unix-like operating systems, DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, specifying a set of where executable programs are located. In general, each executing process or user session has its own PATH setting. Multics originated the idea of a search path. The early Unix shell only looked for program names in /bin, but by Version 3 Unix the directory was too large and /usr/bin, and a search path, became part of the operating system.
FreeDOSFreeDOS est un système d'exploitation libre compatible avec MS-DOS et les autres systèmes DOS. Il est possible d'installer le système sur une disquette. FreeDOS d'abord appelé « PD-DOS » puis « Free-DOS ». Ce projet est lancé en 1994 par un étudiant habitué à utiliser MS-DOS, la même année, Microsoft annonce l'arrêt du support pour DOS, remplacé par une nouvelle version de Microsoft Windows. Sous DOS, le programme est fait à partir de la ligne de commande, les spécialistes de ce système pouvant accomplir des tâches.
Exit statusIn computing, the exit status, or exit code, of a terminated process is an integer number that is made available to its parent process (or caller). In DOS, this may be referred to as an errorlevel. When computer programs are executed, the operating system creates an abstract entity called a process in which the book-keeping for that program is maintained. In multitasking operating systems such as Unix or Linux, new processes can be created by active processes.
Access methodAn access method is a function of a mainframe operating system that enables access to data on disk, tape or other external devices. Access methods were present in several mainframe operating systems since the late 1950s, under a variety of names; the name access method was introduced in 1963 in the IBM OS/360 operating system. Access methods provide an application programming interface (API) for programmers to transfer data to or from device, and could be compared to device drivers in non-mainframe operating systems, but typically provide a greater level of functionality.
Resource forkThe resource fork is a of a on Apple's classic Mac OS operating system, which was also carried over to the modern macOS for compatibility, used to store structured data along with the unstructured data stored within the data fork. A resource fork stores information in a specific form, containing details such as icon bitmaps, the shapes of windows, definitions of menus and their contents, and application code (machine code). For example, a word processing file might store its text in the data fork, while storing any embedded images in the same file's resource fork.
Lsvignette|Commande ls. ls est une commande POSIX (abréviation de list en anglais), qui permet de lister le contenu d'un répertoire. >lsaltrootbinbootbsdbsd.rddevetc> Il est possible d'indiquer des arguments permettant d'obtenir plus ou moins d'informations. Par exemple l'argument "-a" permet d'afficher les fichiers dont le nom commence par "." (fichiers « cachés »). Ces arguments peuvent varier d'une implémentation à l'autre, aussi il convient de vérifier la liste de ceux qui sont acceptés sur un système en regardant la page de manuel associée. Rcrc (for "run commands") is the command line interpreter for Version 10 Unix and Plan 9 from Bell Labs operating systems. It resembles the Bourne shell, but its syntax is somewhat simpler. It was created by Tom Duff, who is better known for an unusual C programming language construct ("Duff's device"). A port of the original rc to Unix is part of Plan 9 from User Space. A rewrite of rc for Unix-like operating systems by Byron Rakitzis is also available but includes some incompatible changes.
