+<p>This glossary defines terms and names commonly used throughout the Native Client |
+documentation.</p> |
+<dl class="docutils"> |
+<dt>asynchronous programming</dt> |
+<dd>In the asynchronous programming model, function calls are executed and return |
+immediately without waiting for a response. Using this model, function calls |
+are non-blocking; the web browser continues its main thread of execution |
+and gets notified of asynchronous call completion through callbacks or some |
+other mechanism.</dd> |
+<dt>focus events</dt> |
+<dd>Events that indicate whether certain parts of a web page are |
+in or out of focus.</dd> |
+<dt>input events</dt> |
+<dd>Events that occur when an input device (such as keyboard or mouse) |
+is used to interact with an module instance.</dd> |
+<dt>instance</dt> |
+<dd>A rectangle on a web page that is managed by a Native Client module (the |
+rectangle can have <code>width=0</code> and <code>height=0</code>, which means that nothing is |
+drawn on the page).</dd> |
+<dt>manifest file</dt> |
+<dd>A file containing metadata or information about accompanying files.</dd> |
+<dt>message events</dt> |
+<dd>Events used to pass data between JavaScript and the Native Client |
+module (see the <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/devguide/coding/message-system.html"><em>Messaging System</em></a> chapter).</dd> |
+<dt>module</dt> |
+<dd>Depending on context, “module” may mean one of two things. First, it may be a |
+general short-term for for “Native Client module”—compiled C/C++ code |
+produced with a Native Client toolchain (for example PNaCl). See |
+<a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/overview.html#link-how-nacl-works"><em>How Native Client works</em></a> for more details. |
+Second, it may refer to a concrete implementation of the <a class="reference external" href="https://developers.google.com/native-client/peppercpp/classpp_1_1_module">pp::Module class</a> |
+for some Native Client module.</dd> |
+<dt>progress events</dt> |
+<dd>Events generated by the Native Client runtime system during the |
+module loading process.</dd> |
+<dt>Var</dt> |
+<dd>An object in a Native Client module that corresponds to a JavaScript |
+variable.</dd> |
+<dt>view change events</dt> |
+<dd>Events that occur when a change in the browser affects the |
+module instance (such as resizing the browser window or going to |
+and from fullscreen mode).</dd> |
+<dt>web workers</dt> |
+<dd><a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Workers">Web workers</a> provide a |
+mechanism for running heavy-weight JavaScript code on background threads |
+so that the main web page can continue to respond to user interaction. |
+Web pages interact with web workers by using <code>postMessage()</code> to send |
+messages. The way a web page interacts with a Native Client module |
+is analogous to the way it interacts with web workers.</dd> |
