Common Expressions: file

ExpressionsDefinition
Amiga Fast File SystemThe Amiga Fast File System (FFS) is a file system used on the Amiga personal computer. The Amiga Old File System (OFS) was too slow to keep up with hard drives. FFS differs mainly in the removal of redundant information. Data blocks contain nothing but data, allowing the filesystem to manage the transfer of large chunks of data directly from the host adapter to the final destination. (references)
Amiga Old File SystemOn the Amiga, the Old File System was the filesystem for Amiga OS before the Amiga Fast File System. Even though it used 512-byte blocks, it reserved the first small portion of each block for metadata, leaving a very irregular actual data block real capacity of only 488 bytes per block. It wasn't very suitable for anything except floppy disks, and it was soon replaced. (references)
Andrew file systemThe Andrew file system (AFS) is a distributed networked file system developed by Carnegie Mellon University as part of the Andrew Project. It is named for Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon. Its primary use is in distributed computing. (references)
Application description fileAppsize: The size of the jar file. (references)
ASCII text fileA text file that contains only ASCII characters without special formatting. Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
AtheOS File SystemThe AtheOS file system (AFS) was originally used in the AtheOS operating system, and is now a part of the Syllable operating system. It is an extension of the Be File System used in BeOS. AFS started with exactly the same data structures as BFS, and extended the feature set of BFS in many ways. As such, AFS is a 64-bit journaled file system with support for file attributes. File indexing and soft deletions are also partially supported. (references)
Backup file(computer science) a computer file dedicated to storing and updating computer backups. Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
Bad command or file nameBad command or file name was an infamous error message in early versions of Microsoft's MS-DOS operating system, which is based on a command line interface (in contrast with, for example, Windows, which is GUI-based). (references)
Bastard fileA file intermediate between the coarsest and the second cut. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary.
Batch fileIn DOS and Windows, a batch file is a text file with a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter (see command line interface). When the batch file is run, the shell program (usually command.com or cmd.exe) reads the file and executes its commands. A batch file is analogous to a shell script in Unix-like operating systems.
