	5 <p>This glossary defines terms and names commonly used throughout the Native Cli ent

	6 documentation.</p>

	7 <dl class="docutils">

	8 <dt>asynchronous programming</dt>

	9 <dd>In the asynchronous programming model, function calls are executed and retur n

	10 immediately without waiting for a response. Using this model, function calls

	11 are non-blocking; the web browser continues its main thread of execution

	12 and gets notified of asynchronous call completion through callbacks or some

	13 other mechanism.</dd>

	14 <dt>focus events</dt>

	15 <dd>Events that indicate whether certain parts of a web page are

	16 in or out of focus.</dd>

	17 <dt>input events</dt>

	18 <dd>Events that occur when an input device (such as keyboard or mouse)

	19 is used to interact with an module instance.</dd>

	20 <dt>instance</dt>

	21 <dd>A rectangle on a web page that is managed by a Native Client module (the

	22 rectangle can have <code>width=0</code> and <code>height=0</code>, which means t hat nothing is

	23 drawn on the page).</dd>

	24 <dt>manifest file</dt>

	25 <dd>A file containing metadata or information about accompanying files.</dd>

	26 <dt>message events</dt>

	27 <dd>Events used to pass data between JavaScript and the Native Client

	28 module (see the <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/devguide/codi ng/message-system.html"><em>Messaging System</em></a> chapter).</dd>

	29 <dt>module</dt>

	30 <dd>Depending on context, “module” may mean one of two things. First , it may be a

	31 general short-term for for “Native Client module”—compiled C/C ++ code

	32 produced with a Native Client toolchain (for example PNaCl). See

	33 <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/overview.html#link-how-nacl-w orks"><em>How Native Client works</em></a> for more details.

	34 Second, it may refer to a concrete implementation of the <a class="reference ext ernal" href="https://developers.google.com/native-client/peppercpp/classpp_1_1_m odule">pp::Module class</a>

	35 for some Native Client module.</dd>

	36 <dt>progress events</dt>

	37 <dd>Events generated by the Native Client runtime system during the

	38 module loading process.</dd>

	39 <dt>Var</dt>

	40 <dd>An object in a Native Client module that corresponds to a JavaScript

	41 variable.</dd>

	42 <dt>view change events</dt>

	43 <dd>Events that occur when a change in the browser affects the

	44 module instance (such as resizing the browser window or going to

	45 and from fullscreen mode).</dd>

	46 <dt>web workers</dt>

	47 <dd><a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Workers ">Web workers</a> provide a

	48 mechanism for running heavy-weight JavaScript code on background threads

	49 so that the main web page can continue to respond to user interaction.

	50 Web pages interact with web workers by using <code>postMessage()</code> to send

	51 messages. The way a web page interacts with a Native Client module

	52 is analogous to the way it interacts with web workers.</dd>
