IDE
- The integrated drive electronics (IDE) is a common x86 based interface.
Incremental Dump
- An incremental dump saves all data created or modified since the previous
dump was performed; incremental dumps are performed more frequently than full
dumps.
Indirect Block
- Indirect block addressing as used in UNIX systems is an inode field which
points to other inode blocks instead of user data. This is as opposed to direct
block addressing, which points to a block containing the file.
Inode
- An inode is an entry in a predesignated area of the disk that describes where
a file is located on that disk, the size of the file, when it was last used, and
other identification information.
Input
- Input is any information provided to a command, a program, a terminal, a
person, and so on.
Instance
- In the context of the kernel, when referring to a disk device name, each use
of a device identifier (for example, sd0) is considered an instance of
that device type.
Internet
- The Internet is the largest network in the world. It consists of a large
national backbone network which contains the Military Network (MILNET), the
National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET), and the European Laboratory for
Particle Physics (CREN), and a myriad of regional and local campus networks all
over the world. To be able to log on the Internet the user must have Internet protocol
(IP) connectivity; that is, be able to communicate with other systems by using telnet
or ping. Networks with only email connectivity are not classified as
being on the Internet.
Internet
Address
- An IP address is a 32-bit unsigned integer used by networking software to
uniquely identify machines attached to the network.
IPI
- The Intelligent peripheral interface (IPI) device is the SPARC(R)
system interface.
