garbage collection
The process that reclaims dynamically allocated storage during program execution. The
term usually refers to automatic periodic storage reclamation by the garbage collector
(part of the run-time system), as opposed to explicit code to free specific blocks of
memory.
get() method
A method used to read a data item. For example, the
SQLMPConnection.getAutoCommit() method returns the transaction mode of
the JDBC driver's connection to a SQL/MP database. Compare to set() method.
graphical user interface (GUI)
Software that provides user control using a graphic display format. GUI software
provides a bit-mapped, icon-oriented, windowing, graphical environment.
Guardian
An environment available for interactive and programmatic use with the NonStop
TM
Kernel. Processes that run in the Guardian environment use the Guardian system
procedure calls as their API; interactive users of the Guardian environment use the TACL
or another Compaq product's command interpreter. Compare to OSS.

hyperlink
A reference (link) from a point in one hypertext document to a point in another document

different color, font, or style. When the user activates the link (usually by clicking on it
with the mouse), the browser displays the target of the link.
hypertext
A collection of documents (nodes) containing cross-references or "links" that, with the
aid of an interactive browser, allow a reader to move easily from one document to
another.
