According to the Jargon File, American hackers switched to what they later discovered to be the British quotation system because placing a period inside a quotation mark can change the meaning of data strings that are meant to be typed character-for-character.

File processing was bulky, costly and inflexible when it came to supplying needed data accurately and promptly.

uses the Binary File Descriptor library as a back-end to structure the ELF data.

File viewers do not edit files, yet it is common for them to be able to save data in a different file format, or to copy information from the viewed file to the system-wide clipboard.

* File ( command ), a Unix program for determining the type of data contained in a computer file

The LDS Church has also compiled indexes of the submissions of its members, resulting in several large databases: the International Genealogical Index, or IGI, which includes both data extracted from filmed civil and ecclesiastic records from various worldwide locales and member-submitted information ; the Ancestral File, or AF, which includes the contributions of church members ; and the Pedigree Resource File, or PRF, compiled from member and non-member submissions.

Further, the data composed via the sequenced MIDI recordings can then be saved as a Standard MIDI File ( SMF ), digitally distributed, and reproduced by any computer or electronic instrument that also adheres to the same MIDI, GM, and SMF standards.

WordStar version 3. x used the MS-DOS File control block ( FCB ) interface, an early data structure for file input / output which was based closely on CP / M's file input / output functions.

It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format ( RIFF ) bitstream format method for storing data in " chunks ", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and the AIFF format used on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively.

AVI is a derivative of the Resource Interchange File Format ( RIFF ), which divides a file's data into blocks, or " chunks.

* File and data ownership: Every object in the system has an owner.

File: US Patent 2101674 Antenna. png | On the left, characteristics plotted from experimentally obtained data on coordinates with logarithmic abscissa.

This version uses File Terminals which allow applications to record streaming data to a file and play this recorded data back to a stream.

#* A File Record stores a variety of metadata about the file including its CNID, the size of the file, three timestamps ( when the file was created, last modified, last backed up ), the first file extents of the data and resource forks and pointers to the file's first data and resource extent records in the Extent Overflow File.

The Catalog File, which stores all the file and directory records in a single data structure, results in performance problems when the system allows multitasking, as only one program can write to this structure at a time, meaning that many programs may be waiting in queue due to one program " hogging " the system.

This contrasts with other file systems that store file and directory records in separate structures ( such as DOS's FAT file system or the Unix File System ), where having structure distributed across the disk means that damaging a single directory is generally non-fatal and the data may possibly be re-constructed with data held in the non-damaged portions.

* Page Description File, used in variable data publishing

Interchange File Format ( IFF ), is a generic container file format originally introduced by the Electronic Arts company in 1985 ( in cooperation with Commodore-Amiga ) in order to ease transfer of data between software produced by different companies.

Audio Interchange File Format ( AIFF ) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices.

File locks apply to the actual file, rather than the file name.

Metadata locks are managed by the MDT that stores the inode for the file, using the 128-bit Lustre File Identifier ( FID, composed of the Sequence number and Object ID ) as the resource name.

Early uses of the term are in Erik Mueller's 1987 Ph. D. dissertation and in Eric Raymond's 1991 Jargon File.

File manager programs are utility programs that allow users to manipulate files directly.

Though typically accessed by a DBMS through the underlying Operating system ( and often utilizing the operating systems ' File systems as intermediates for storage layout ), storage properties and configuration setting are extremely important for the efficient operation of the DBMS, and thus are closely maintained by database administrators.

Though typically accessed by a DBMS through the underlying Operating system ( and often utilizing the operating systems ' File systems as intermediates for storage layout ), storage properties and configuration setting are extremely important for the efficient operation of the DBMS, and thus are closely maintained by database administrators.

Sometimes they are called dual-pane managers, a term that is typically used for programs such as the Windows File Explorer ( see below ).

File transfers are handled using HTTP.

File attributes are very simple in ISO-9660.

File attributes for the file described by the directory entry are stored in the directory entry and optionally, in the extended attribute record.

* Level 1: File names are limited to eight characters with a three-character extension, using upper case letters, numbers and underscore only.

* Level 2: File names are not limited to 11 characters ( the 8. 3 format ) but can be up to the maximum allowed by the 1 byte counter in the directory entry and the filename length byte counter.

A typical example of a file transfer that does not use the P2P model is the File Transfer Protocol ( FTP ) service in which the client and server programs are distinct: the clients initiate the transfer, and the servers satisfy these requests.

Besides File Sharing, companies are also interested in Distributing Computing, Content Distribution.
