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}. (1996-05-22)
