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.
Point d'entréeUn point d’entrée est, en programmation, le lieu du code source où un programme commence. Dans la plupart des langages informatiques, il existe des fonctions qui sont définies par la donnée du texte de son algorithme, qu'on appelle corps de la fonction. Dans de très nombreux langages informatiques (C, C++, JAVA...) la fonction main () d’un programme est la première fonction exécutée lors du lancement du programme. C'est elle qui invoquera éventuellement les autres fonctions.
Multiuser DOSMultiuser DOS is a real-time multi-user multi-tasking operating system for IBM PC-compatible microcomputers. An evolution of the older Concurrent CP/M-86, Concurrent DOS and Concurrent DOS 386 operating systems, it was originally developed by Digital Research and acquired and further developed by Novell in 1991. Its ancestry lies in the earlier Digital Research 8-bit operating systems CP/M and MP/M, and the 16-bit single-tasking CP/M-86 which evolved from CP/M.
