A.2 KwikNet Glossary

API An application programming interface defines the method by

which a software program can access software components such as

procedures in the KwikNet Library.

App-Task The name given to the body of application code which uses

KwikNet services in a single threaded system. The App-Task is any

application function (except those executed by an interrupt service

routine) which calls KwikNet to perform some operation.

ARP Address Resolution Protocol: the TCP/IP protocol used to resolve

the correlation between an IP address and a physical hardware

address such as an Ethernet address.

BOOTP Boot Protocol: an older protocol used to derive a network IP

address during the startup (boot) initialization of an IP stack.

BSD The University of California, Berkeley refers to its TCP/IP

software release as the Berkeley Software Distribution.

Clock Handler The name given to the procedure which is called by the ISR or ISP

root which services the hardware clock interrupt.

Clock Tick The interrupt generated by a hardware clock.

Conforming ISP An AMX Interrupt Service Procedure consisting of an ISP root

which calls an Interrupt Handler which has the right to make calls

to a subset of the KwikNet service procedures.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: a protocol used by a

DHCP client to derive a network IP address during the startup

(boot) initialization of an IP stack. The client uses services

provided by a DHCP server elsewhere on the network.

DNS Domain Name System: the database distributed across all

interconnected networks used to map each text-like machine name

to its equivalent IP address.

Error Code A series of signed integers used by

KwikNet to indicate error or

warning conditions detected by

KwikNet service procedures.

Exit Procedure An AMX or application procedure executed by AMX during the

exit phase when an AMX system is shut down.

Fatal Error A condition detected by

KwikNet which is considered so abnormal

that to proceed might risk catastrophic consequences.

FIFO First in, first out. Usually used to refer to the ordering of elements

in a queue or linked list.

FTP File Transfer Protocol: a TCP/IP protocol used for reliably

transferring files between two points on a network.
