Abstract

See full text

A name space registry manages name space data within a computer operating system including configuration and initialization data. The registry provides access to the configuration information by means of an application program interface (API) for programs which can operate with the name space registry. Backward source-code compatibility is provided for older applications by maintaining configuration and initialization files that the older applications use to store configuration and initialization data under their traditional file names and with the traditional contents. Thus the older applications can directly access these files. The registry provides newer programs access to these configuration and initialization files through API program calls.
