| | APPLICATION PROGRAM - Definition |
 | | One distinction between an application program and the operating system is that applications always run in "user mode" (or "non-privileged mode"), while operating systems and related utilities may run in "supervisor mode" (or "privileged mode"). |
 | | This is in contrast to system software such as the operating system kernel, server processes and libraries which exists to support application programs. |
