Programming involves tasks such as anal ..., an entry point is the place in a program where the execution of a program begins, and where the program has access to command line arguments. To start a program's execution (computing), execution, the Loader (computing), loader or operating system passes control to its entry point. (During booting, the operating system itself is the program). This marks the transition from load time (and dynamic link time, if present) to run time (program lifecycle phase), run time. For some operating systems and programming languages, the entry point is in a runtime library, a set of support functions for the language. The library code initializes the program and then passes control to the program proper. In other cases ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Main (cigarette)
Main is a brand of cigarettes, currently owned by British American Tobacco and manufactured by its Danish subsidiary, House of Prince. History Main was launched in 2004 and is a cigarette with a so-called Action Filter, providing a greater filtration of smoke than ordinary cigarette filters.

The brand is mainly sold in Sweden, but was or still is sold in Austria, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Mainsail
A mainsail is a sail rigged on the main mast of a sailing vessel. * On a square rigged vessel, it is the lowest and largest sail on the main mast. * On a fore-and-aft rigged vessel, it is the sail rigged aft of the main mast. The sail's foot is normally attached to a boom. (In extremely heavy weather, the mainsail may be lowered, and a much smaller trysail hoisted in its place). Historical fore-and-aft rigs used a four-sided gaff rigged mainsail, sometimes setting a gaff topsail above it. Whereas once the mainsail was typically the largest sail, today the mainsail may be smaller than the jib or genoa; Prout catamarans typically have a mainmast stepped further aft than in a standard sloop, so that the mainsail is much smaller than the foresail. Bermuda rig The modern Bermuda rig uses a triangular mainsail aft of the mast, closely coordinated with a jib for sailing upwind. A large overlapping jib or genoa is often larger than the mainsail. In downwind conditions (with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
