Link
Computer; Software engineering
(1) To create a load module from two or more independently translated object modules or load modules by resolving crossreferences among them.~(2) A part of a computer program, often a single ...
Copy
Computer; Software engineering
(1) To read data from a source, leaving the source data unchanged, and to write the same data elsewhere in a physical form that may differ from that of the source. For example, to copy data from a ...
Move
Computer; Software engineering
(1) To read data from a source, altering the contents of the source location, and to write the same data elsewhere in a physical form that may differ from that of the source. For example, to move ...
Load
Computer; Software engineering
(1) To read machine code into main memory in preparation for execution and, in some cases, to perform address adjustment and linking of modules.~(2) To copy computer instructions or data from ...
Echo
Computer; Software engineering
(1) To return a transmitted signal to its source, often with a delay to indicate that the signal is a reflection rather than the original.~(2) A returned signal, as in (1).
Interruption
Computer; Software engineering
(1) The suspension of a process to handle an event external to the process.~(2) To cause the suspension of a process.~(3) Loosely, an interrupt request.
