|
|
|
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
|
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) offers the network interface protocols in the data link layer the capability of translating Internet addresses into hardware addresses.
|
|
|
Advanced Interactive Executive (AIX)
|
The Advanced Interactive Executive is the Unixoperating system developed by IBM for its Unix-designated hardware platforms: RT6000, PS/2, and 370 VM. It is a multitasking, multiuser and time-sharing operating system. Two unique features of the AIX operating system are its SMIT command and the InfoExplorer program.

|
ARCserveIT
|
A backup management application bundled with the SCO Unixware 7 media kit.
|
|
|
artificial links
|
An artificial link is a file that contains the name of another file and its complete path. It links to a file that is either on a different file system on the same computer or maybe even on a different computer. These links are called artificial links because the names of the files are not considered by Unix to be the actual file names.
|
|
|
awk
|
The awk file-processing utility provides an easy way to state and perform various text manipulation tasks. Using this utility, you can generate reports containing selective columns from a structured text file.
|
|
|
backup partition

|
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)
|
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is a version of Unix developed by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, who made modifications in Unix and added utilities such as the text editor vi and the C shell. This final version after inclusion of these modifications was named BSD.
|
|
|
bin directory
|
The bin directory in the Unix file system contains the most frequently used standard Unix programs and utilities necessary for running the system. The term bin, derived from binary, indicates that the programs are in executable form.

The Bourne shell is the original command processor developed at AT&T and named after its developer, Stephen R. Bourne. This is the fastest and most widely used shell. The executable file name is sh. The prompt used in this shell is dollar ($).
|
|
|
C shell
|
The C shell command processor was developed by William Joy and his colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley. The shell is named after its programming language, which resembles the C programming language syntactically. By default, the percent (%) sign on the terminal displays the C shell. The executable filename is .csh.

cal
|
The cal command lets you to display a calendar for any year from 1 A.D. to 9999 A.D.
|
