Interface




<jargon> A boundary across which two systems communicate.

An interface might be a hardware connector used to link to other devices, or it might be a convention used to allow communication between two software systems.

Often there is some intermediate component between the two systems which connects their interfaces together.

For example, two EIA-232 interfaces connected via a serial cable.

See also graphical user interface, Application Program Interface.
