e communications path. See also loopback interface.
loopback virtual file system (LOFS)
A file system that is created by mounting a directory over another local directory, also known as mount-over-mount. A LOFS can also be generated using an automounter.
The logical procedure used by a loop port (L_port) to discover its environment. Loop initialization can be used to assign arbitrated loop physical addresses (AL_PAs), detect loop failure, or reset a node.
In SPL routines, an SQL identifier whose declaration immediately precedes an iterative statement, and whose name immediately follows the terminating END FOR, END LOOP, or END WHILE keywords. The EXIT label statement can transfer program control to the first executable statement that follows the last statement in the FOR, FOR LOOP, LOOP, WHILE LOOP, or WHILE loop that has the specified loop label.
An optimization that increases the step of a loop, and duplicates the expressions within a loop to reflect the increase in the step. This can improve instruction scheduling and memory access time.
loosely coupled analysis engine
An aggregate analysis engine whose component analysis engines do not run in the same address space, but each is remote from the others that make up the aggregate. See also analysis engine.
See level of service.
Pertaining to image transformation in which all of the data is retained. See also lossy.
Pertaining to image transformation in which some of the data is lost. See also lossless.
Lotus Domino for i5/OS (Domino for i5/OS)
The System i implementation of the Lotus Domino server. Lotus Domino for i5/OS is a full-function Domino server that follows the Domino architecture. The server software includes email, groupware, workflow, calendar and scheduling, and web server functions.
Lotus multibyte character set (LMBCS)
The format in which Notes stores all internal text, except file attachments and objects. As a result, any user can edit, forward, and mail documents and work with databases in any language.
Any object that is an instance of a Lotus-product class. LotusObjects can be manipulated using LotusScript. LotusObjects share a common design. Many are implemented either the same way across products, or almost the same way, with slight variations from product to product.
Lotus QuickPlace place
A web venue that is provided by Lotus QuickPlace that enables geographically dispersed participants to collaborate on projects and communicate online in a structured and secure workspace. See also place.
A version of BASIC that offers not only standard capabilities of structured programming languages, but a powerful set of language extensions that enable object-oriented development within and across products. Its interface to Notes is through predefined object classes.
LotusScript Data Object (LS:DO)
The ODBCConnection, ODBCQuery, and ODBCResultSet classes, collectively called the LotusScript Data Object (LS:DO). These classes provide properties and methods for accessing and updating tables in external databases through the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) Version 2.0 standard.
- A node that provides a range of end-user services, attaches directly to other nodes using peer protocols, and derives network services implicitly from an adjacent APPN network node, that is, without the direct use of CP-CP sessions.
- A node in an APPN network that uses the LU session type 6.2 node type 2.1 architecture without the APPN extension.
A limit that indicates the least value that a variable can assume. In operations research, a lower bound may or may not be in the domain of a variable. When a lower bound is in the domain of the variable, the variable may assume precisely that value, but no less. When a lower bound is not in the domain of the variable, the variable may assume values strictly greater than the lower bound, but not precisely the lower bound itself. See also bound, bound strengthening, greatest lower bound, minimum, upper bound.
- Pertaining to those graphic characters of a layer which can be input from a keyboard without the use of any shift key.
- Pertaining to
