In the I/O Kit, a mechanism that uses a plug-in architecture to allow a programme in user space to communicate with a nub in the kernel that is appropriate to the type of device the programme wishes to control. Through the nub the programme gains access to I/O Kit services and to the device itself. From the perspective of the kernel, the device interface appears as a driver object called a user client.

Industry:Software; Computer
A colour representation that is portable between devices and that is used for the interchanges of colour data from the native colour space of one device to the native colour space of another device. colours in a device-independent colour space appear the same when displayed on different devices, to the extent that the capabilities of the device allow.
Industry:Software; Computer
A mark, such as an accent, that is used in conjunction with a character to indicate phonetic value.
