LDAP API enables the modification of directory objects, where such modifications are permitted. There are also functions that provide access control for servers, by allowing clients to authenticate themselves.

Light Intensity Modulated Direct Overwrite. Similar principles to Magneto-optical, however magnets built into the disk itself instead of magnetic read/write heads are utilized. This provides for writing data in a single pass. Refer to MO.

A connectivity tool that runs on client systems and is used to print files to a computer running an LPD server. Also called Line Printer.
