Application Binary Interface; 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)

born 614, Mecca, Arabia died July 678, Medina Third wife of Muhammad. The daughter of his supporter Ab Bakr, she became Muhammad's favourite wife.

born 600, Mecca died January 661, Al-Kfah, Iraq Cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad and fourth caliph (656-661). Al was a ward of Muhammad, just as Muhammad himself had been a ward of Al's father, Ab lib. An early convert to Islam, he helped foil an assassination plot against Muhammad and, following the Hijrah to Medina (622), fought beside him against his enemies, gaining renown as a soldier. Since some in the early Muslim community claimed that Muhammad did not name any successor and others claimed that he named Al, the controversy over Al's claim to the caliphate resulted in the fundamental schism in Islam that eventually led to the creation of the Shite (from shat Al, "party of Al") and Sunnite branches of the religion. His willingness to compromise with his adversaries during the first fitnah led some of his troops to desert and form the Khrijite sect, one of whose members later assassinated Al. In later Islamic hagiography, Al was held up as the paradigm of youthful chivalry and virtue by both Shites and Sunnites. See also al-Husayn ibn Al; Battle of Karbal; Muwiyah
