 9 :Info: info_segments.gi: info_segs.gi: help_files.gi: 02/10/82 info segments (info segs)
10 
11      The segments whose contents are printed by invoking the
12 help command.  These segments, sometimes called help files, give
13 information about the system.  The system info segments are kept
14 in the directory >documentation>info_segments (>doc>info).  The
15 info segments that are peculiar to an installation are kept in
16 >doc>iml_info_segments (>doc>iml_info).  See the description of the
17 help command.

20 :Info: initial_acl.gi: iacl.gi: IACL.gi: 02/10/82 initial access-control list (IACL)
21 
22      A list that specifies what the access-control list of a newly
23 created segment or directory will be.  There are separate initial
24 access control lists for segments and directories for each ring.

26 
27 :Info: initializer.gi: 02/10/82 Initializer
28 
29      The system control process that logs users in and out and
30 keeps accounting statistics.  This is the only process that
31 creates and destroys other processes.  Its access identifier is
32 Initializer.SysDaemon.z.

35 :Info: iml.gi: IML.gi: 02/10/82 IML (Installation-Maintained Library)
36 
37      The library of programs maintained by a particular installation.
38 It is kept in the directory >system_library_auth_maint (>am).

41 :Info: interactive.gi: 03/05/82 interactive
42 
43      A mode of operation in which you and the computer exchange
44 information directly and immediately, through a terminal.  Multics is
45 primarily an interactive system.

48 :Info: i/o_module.gi: io_module.gi: 02/10/82 I/O module
49 
50      A program that processes input and output requests directed to a
51 given switch.  It may perform operations on other switches, or call
52 the supervisor.
53 
54 
55 :Info: i/o_switch.gi: io_switch.gi: 02/10/82 I/O switch
56 
57      A  path in  the I/O  system through  which information  is sent.

59 
60 :Info: io.sysdaemon.gi: IO.SysDaemon.gi: 02/10/82 IO.SysDaemon
61 
62      The User_id of the system process that does dprinting and
63 dpunching.
64 
65 
66 :Info: known_segment.gi: 03/05/82 known segment
67 
68      A segment is known to a process when it has been uniquely
69 associated with a segment number in that process.  A segment can be
70 made known through dynamic linking, by the initiate command, or by
71 explicit call to the hcs_$initiate or hcs_$initiate_count subroutines.
72 The segment number assigned remains with that segment for the life of
73 the process unless a user explicitly makes the segment unknown.  Once
74 a segment is known by a given segment number, all program references
75 using that number are interpreted by the system hardware and
76 associated software as references to that segment.
