NetWare Glossary
M

See also: “Attributes.”
MLID
See “Multiple Link Interface Driver (MLID).”
Modify bit
A bit set by NetWare, when a file is changed, to indicate that data has been
modified.
Modify right
A directory or file right that grants the right to change the attributes or name
of a directory or file.
See also: “Rights.”
Multiple-byte character
A single character made up of more than one byte.
One byte allows 256 different characters. Since the number of ASCII
characters equals 256, a computer can handle each ASCII character with one
byte.
Asian character sets, however, include more than 256 characters; in this
case, a computer must use two bytes for each character.
Multiple Link Interface Driver (MLID)
A device driver written to the ODI specification that handles the sending and
receiving of packets to and from a physical or logical LAN medium.
See also: “Open Data-Link Interface (ODI).”
