1. (From BASIC's "CHAIN" statement) To
pass control to a child or successor without going through the
operating system command interpreter that invoked you.
The state of the parent program is lost and there is no
returning to it. Though this facility used to be common on
memory-limited microcomputers and is still widely supported
for backward compatibility, the jargon usage is
semi-obsolescent; in particular, Unix calls this exec.

Compare with the more modern "subshell".

2. A series of linked data areas within an
operating system or application program. "Chain rattling"
is the process of repeatedly running through the linked data
areas searching for one which is of interest. The implication
is that there are many links in the chain.

3. A possibly infinite, non-decreasing sequence of
elements of some total ordering, S

1. vi. [orig. from BASIC's CHAIN statement] To hand off execution to a
child or successor without going through the OS command interpreter that
invoked it. The state of the parent program is lost and there is no
returning to it. Though this facility used to be common on memory-limited
micros and is still widely supported for backward compatibility, the jargon
usage is semi-obsolescent; in particular, most Unix programmers will think
of this as an exec. Oppose the more modern subshell.

2. n. A series of linked data areas within an operating system or
application. Chain rattling is the process of repeatedly running through
the linked data areas searching for one which is of interest to the
executing program. The implication is that there is a very large number of
links on the chain.
