loadList

TNS code file might be both a loadfile and a linkfile. Native code files are never both.

Contrast with linkfile.

loadList. A list of all the libraries that must be loaded for a given loadfile to execute. A

loadfile’s loadList includes all the libraries in the given loadfile’s libList plus all the

libraries in those loadfiles’ libLists, and so forth. It does not include the implicit libraries.

The loadList order is the sequence in which these loadfiles are to be loaded when they

are not already loaded by a previous operation. The loadList of the program includes

all the loadfiles present in the process, in the order they were loaded.

local area network (LAN). A network that is located in a small geographical area and

whose communications technology provides a high-bandwidth, low-cost medium to

which low-cost nodes can be connected. One or more LANs can be connected to the

system such that the LAN users can access the system as if their workstations were

connected directly to it. Contrast with wide area network (WAN).

locale. In localization, the definition of the subset of a user’s environment that depends on

language and cultural conventions.

localization. The process of adapting computer interfaces, data, and documentation to the

culturally accepted way of presenting information in the culture. Sometimes referred to

as L10N, derived from the 10 letters between the initial L and the final N of the word

localization.

localized. The import-control characteristic of a loadfile that allows it to import symbols only

from the loadfile itself followed by the libraries in its libList, libraries that those libraries

reexport, and from these, any successions of reexported libraries. See also libList and

searchList.

local mount. In the Network File System (NFS), a mount that attaches the fileset

associated with a server to the specified mount point within the local directory

hierarchy. The local mount is visible within the NFS subsystem and makes the files

associated with the server available through the path associated with the local mount

point.

local node. See local system.

local operator. The person who performs routine system operations, such as starting and

stopping the system, loading and unloading tapes, and changing the air filter. The local

operator is normally the operator of the asynchronous system console for the node.
