Application Binary Interface. An ABI defines a system interface for compiled programs. This is usually specified as an API coupled with source to binary translation rules.
abrv. "audio binary interface"
U.S. Customs' "Automated Broker Interface," by which brokers file importers' entries electronically.
See application binary interface (ABI).
Automated Broker Interface. the electronic transmission and exchange of data between a customhouse broker and CBP.
Architected Binary Interface. This is a set of binary bindings for a programming interface specification such as the UDI Core Specification. (When applied to applications rather than system programming interfaces, ABI is usually interpreted as Application Binary Interface.)
Application Binary Interface - Specification for hardware platform and operating system.
Application Binary Interface defines a system interface for an application. The ABI defines the layout of an application, types, name mangling, virtual table layout etc.
Automated Broker Interface: A module of ACS which provides a communications link for the transmission of entry and entry summary data on imported merchandise between all ABI users.
Application Binary Interface. The interface by which a compiled application gains access to operating systems and other processor services. An application developed for a specific ABI will run on operating systems that support that ABI.
Application Binaries Interface
Application Binary Interface. A specification defining requirements for portability of applications in binary forms across defferent system platforms and environments.
pplication inary nterface, the interface of passed structures between the user processes (and libraries) and the kernel. For compatibility, it is important that these remain as static as possible (i.e. making sure that variables and structure members have the same bytesize as before, and in the same ordering). Occasionally breakage is necessary, requiring re-compilation of the user-space sources (note that this does not affect source-compatibility; that is a separate issue).
Application Binary Interface, a defined interface that includes an API, but adds the further promise that a compiled object file will be portable; no recompilation will be required to move to any supported platform.
Application binary interface. A general term encompassing all of the rules and conventions that programs must follow to run under a particular operating system. For example, the OpenVMS I64 ABI includes the calling standard, register usage, interrupt handing, and other related topics. According to Intel's Itanium Software Conventions and Run-Time Architecture Guide, "an ABI is composed of an API, system-specific conventions, a hardware description, and a run-time architecture."
Application Binary Interface. A protocol which defines the binary calling conventions and data structure interfaces of a service, allowing one or more compiled applications or libraries to interact.
Application Binary Interface. The term used for different forms of binary executable code that run on ARM processors. Types of ABIs are ARMI, ARM4 and THUMB. See also: ARM processors
A computer system that allows a Customs Broker to interface directly with U.S. Customs' computer system.
automated broker interface. direct computer interface between customhouse brokers or freight forwarders, and U.S. Customs.
Automated Broker Interface. A software interface to the Customs Automated Commercial System allowing transmission on entries into and through customs. Only qualified parties may use this system, and included in them are customs brokers, importers, carriers, port authorities, and independent data processing companies.
Application binary interface Abort To cancel, or terminate, a program, command or operation while in process. Access To retrieve data or program instructions from “secondary storage” (hard disk, floppy disk, or tape) or another on-line computer device. Access Code An identification code or password used to gain access to a computer system.
Application Binary Interface The convention for register usage and C linkage commonly used on desktop PowerPC machines. Similar, but not identical to the EABI. Includes binding specific ppc registers to certain fixed purposes, even though there may be no technical reason to enforce such binding, simplifying the process of linking together two separate sets of object code. e.g the ABI states that r1 shall be the stack pointer.
