ASCII
ASCII, an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication.
Audio file format
An audio file format is a file format for storing digital audio data on a computer system.
See Zero-byte file and Audio file format
Cache (computing)
In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.
See Zero-byte file and Cache (computing)
Computer file
In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. Zero-byte file and computer file are computer files.
See Zero-byte file and Computer file
Data
In common usage, data is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally.
Document
A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought, often the manifestation of non-fictional, as well as fictional, content.
See Zero-byte file and Document
File format
A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file.
See Zero-byte file and File format
File system
In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access.
See Zero-byte file and File system
Filename
A filename or file name is a name used to uniquely identify a computer file in a file system.
See Zero-byte file and Filename
Image file format
An image file format is a file format for a digital image.
See Zero-byte file and Image file format
Metadata
Metadata (or metainformation) is "data that provides information about other data", but not the content of the data itself, such as the text of a message or the image itself.
See Zero-byte file and Metadata
Operating system
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
See Zero-byte file and Operating system
Page cache
In computing, a page cache, sometimes also called disk cache, is a transparent cache for the pages originating from a secondary storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD).
See Zero-byte file and Page cache
Public utility
A public utility company (usually just utility) is an organization that maintains the infrastructure for a public service (often also providing a service using that infrastructure).
See Zero-byte file and Public utility
Random-access memory
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code.
See Zero-byte file and Random-access memory
Stat (system call)
is a Unix system call that returns file attributes about an inode.
See Zero-byte file and Stat (system call)
Text editor
A text editor is a type of computer program that edits plain text.
See Zero-byte file and Text editor
Text file
A text file (sometimes spelled textfile; an old alternative name is flatfile) is a kind of computer file that is structured as a sequence of lines of electronic text.
See Zero-byte file and Text file
Touch (command)
In computing, touch is a command used to update the access date and/or modification date of a computer file or directory.
See Zero-byte file and Touch (command)
Unix
Unix (trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multi-user computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, whose development started in 1969 at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others.
Unix-like
A Unix-like (sometimes referred to as UN*X or *nix) operating system is one that behaves in a manner similar to a Unix system, although not necessarily conforming to or being certified to any version of the Single UNIX Specification.
See Zero-byte file and Unix-like
Version control
Version control (also known as revision control, source control, and source code management) is the software engineering practice of controlling computer files and versions of files; primarily source code text files, but generally any type of file.
See Zero-byte file and Version control
Word processor
A word processor (WP) is a device or computer program that provides for input, editing, formatting, and output of text, often with some additional features.
See Zero-byte file and Word processor
