Peek
(gcide) | Peek \Peek\ (p[=e]k), v. i. [OE. piken: cf. F. piquer to pierce,
prick, E. pique. Cf. Peak.]
To look surreptitiously, or with the eyes half closed, or
through a crevice; to peep. [Colloq.]
[1913 Webster] |
peek
(wn) | peek
n 1: a secret look [syn: peek, peep]
v 1: throw a glance at; take a brief look at; "She only glanced
at the paper"; "I only peeked--I didn't see anything
interesting" [syn: glance, peek, glint] |
peek
(foldoc) | PEEK
The command in most microcomputer BASICs for reading
memory contents (a byte) at an absolute address. POKE is the
corresponding command to write a value to an absolute address.
This is often extended to mean the corresponding constructs in
any High Level Language.
Much hacking on small microcomputers without MMUs consists
of "peek"ing around memory, more or less at random, to find
the location where the system keeps interesting stuff. Long
(and variably accurate) lists of such addresses for various
computers circulate (see interrupt list). The results of
"poke"s at these addresses may be highly useful, mildly
amusing, useless but neat, or total lossage (see {killer
poke}).
Since a real operating system provides useful, higher-level
services for the tasks commonly performed with peeks and pokes
on micros, and real languages tend not to encourage low-level
memory groveling, a question like "How do I do a peek in C?"
is diagnostic of the newbie. Of course, operating system
kernels often have to do exactly this; a real C hacker
would unhesitatingly, if unportably, assign an absolute
address to a pointer variable and indirect through it.

kopeek
(gcide) | kopeck \ko"peck\, n.; pl. Eng. kopecks, Russ. kopeek. [Russ.
kopeika.]
A small Russian coin, continued as a unit of currency within
the Soviet Union. One hundred kopecks make a ruble. The ruble
was worth about sixty cents (U. S.) in 1910; in 1991 a
two-kopeck coin could be used for a local telephone call at a
pay telephone. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1993,
the exchange value of the ruble declined rapidly and by the
end of 1994 the ruble was worth three hundredths of a cent,
and by 1997 two hundredths of a cent. By 1993, the kopek had
become of such small value that it was obsolete and no longer
minted. [Written also kopek, copec, and copeck.]
