Glossary

P

Parent directory A directory

that contains other directories,

each of which is then called a

subdirectory. See also

subdirectory.

Password The secret word you

enter next to the password prompt

at login time to permit only

authorized access. Keep your

password secret and change it

occasionally in order to protect

your account from unauthorized

use. See also user account.

Path The hardware address of a

device that is attached to the I/O

system of your workstation.

Path name A slash/separated

series of zero or more directory

names followed by a ﬁlename, that

together describe the path within

the ﬁle system from some starting

point to a destination object.

Pathnames (other than the

degenerate empty case) begin with

the name of the starting point, and

include every directory name

between the starting point and the

destination object. A pathname

ends with the name of the

destination object. Seealsoname,

object.

Permissions A set of rights (read,

write, execute) associated with an

object in the ﬁle system.

Determines who may use the

object and how.

PID Process Identiﬁer. Also

referred to as a process ID. See

also process ID.

PIM. Processor Internal Memory.

The pim command is a command

used by the Boot Console Interface

for determining speciﬁc system

faults. See also processorinternal

memory.

Pointer Sometimes called the

“mouse pointer,” the pointer’s

location on the display corresponds

to the mouse’s location. The

pointer’s shape often depends on

the object its hot-spot covers (this

is used as a visual feedback

mechanism from a program to the

user). In the HP CDE Workspace,

the default pointer is an X; on a

window frame, it is either a simple

arrow, or an arrow with one or

more straight lines touching it (to

indicate any of the eight

window-resizing regions).

Process A computing

environment in which you may

execute programs; a program

currently running in the system.
