  interface
       
           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.
