Chamber
The term chamber
(or Chamber
) will usually mean the tool (the software application) and not the vault created by the tool (see Vault and Chamberfile for those definitions).
Vault
The term vault
is generic and shall mean an encrypted container which in turn contains the files that a user stores inside it. The term usually automatically implies an encrypted vault, unless specified otherwise in the context. This term may refer to a Chamberfile as a Chamberfile is also a vault generted by Chamber tool.
Chamberfile
Chamberfile (or chamberfile
) is the name we use for a vault file created by using Chamber as a tool.
This term is also used as a command line option to refer to a path where a Chamberfile might be located.
Chamberpath
A chamberpath
is a directory where a Chamberfile in its single and complete form, or as a set of split files is located. In case the Chamberfile was split, all the parts of the Chamberfile must be stored in a single directory and that directory shall be referred to as Chamberpath.
In case of a Chamberfile which was split and is stored as a set of files in a Chamberpath, the term chamberfile
will be used to refer to the complete set of files comprising the Chamberfile and any operations defined and discussed on a Chamberfile will be mean that operation or discussion applies to the complete set of files in a Chamberpath, unless a differentiation is offered within the context of such discussion to be any different.
Split
A split
is a single file out of many files of a Chamberfile that was split into multiple parts.
Host
A host
without any other terms would typically mean the operating system where Chamber is installed. It would not matter whether this OS is installed on the bare metal or is itself a Virtual Machine.
Host FS
A Host File System (or Host FS for short) would refer to the file system and its contents accessible to the host. When referring to the contents of the file system, it would typically mean the files stored on the Host File System which are accessible using the file://
protocol, unless specified otherwise.
