Application Binary Interface
Application Binary Interface (ABI) means the interface by which an
application program gains access to
operating system and other services. It should be possible to run the same compiled binary applications on any system with the right ABI.
Examples are 88open's Binary Compatibility Standard, the PowerOpen Environment and Windows sockets.
