1. spool
[from early IBM ‘Simultaneous Peripheral Operation
On-Line’, but is widely thought to be a
backronym] To send files to some device or program
(a spooler) that queues them up and
does something useful with them later. Without qualification, the spooler
is the print spooler controlling
output of jobs to a printer; but the term has been used in connection with
other peripherals (especially plotters and graphics devices) and
occasionally even for input devices. See also
demon.
