native-compiled MIPS RISC instructions
MIPS instructions and the corresponding conventions for register handling and
procedure calls. Native processes are those created by executing native object files.
Native procedures are units of native object code. Native mode execution is the state
of the process when it is executing native procedures.
native-compiled MIPS RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
native-compiled RISC instructions. See MIPS RISC instructions.
native link editor. See ld utility or nld utility.
native mode. See TNS/R native mode.
native-mode code. Object code that has been compiled with TNS/R native compilers to run
on TNS/R systems.
native-mode library. A native-compiled loadfile associated with one or more other native-
compiled loadfiles. A native mode process can have any number of associated native-
mode libraries. See also TNS library
and TNS/R library.
native-mode source code. High-level language routines that can be compiled with TNS/R
native compilers.
native object code. See TNS/R native object code.
native object file. See TNS/R native object file.
native object file tool. See noft utility.
native process. See TNS/R native process.
native signal. See TNS/R native signal.
native system library. Synonym for implicit library.
$NCP. The process name of the network control process.
NEC. National Electrical Code.
net list. The definition of integrated-circuit signal (other than a power or clock signal)
interconnections.
network. Two or more computer systems (nodes) connected so that they can exchange
information and share resources. See also Expand network
, wide area network (WAN),
and local area network (LAN)
.
Network Access Method (NAM). The interface through which an Expand-over-ServerNet
line-handler process communicates with the ServerNet cluster monitor process
(SNETMON).
