 application program - a Whatis.com definition
An application program (sometimes shortened to application) is any program designed to perform a specific function directly for the user or, in some cases, for another application program.
The formal requests for services and means of communicating with other programs that a programmer uses in writing an application program is called the application program interface (API).
Application programs use the services of the computer's operating system and other supporting programs.

 RFC 3542 (rfc3542) - Advanced Sockets Application Program Interface (API)
All the application does with this datatype is allocate a variable of this type, pass a pointer to a variable of this type to getsockopt() and setsockopt(), and operate on a variable of this type using the six macros that we just defined.
The value of msg_controllen must be tested, because if the application asks recvmsg() to return ancillary data, by setting msg_control to point to the application's buffer and setting msg_controllen to the length of this buffer, the kernel indicates that no ancillary data is available by setting msg_controllen to 0 on return.
The application does not explicitly need to access the data structures for the Routing header, Hop-by-Hop options header, and Destination options header, since the API to these features is through a set of inet6_rth_XXX() and inet6_opt_XXX() functions that we define in Section 7 and Section 10.

 Application Software Design Guidelines:
If the application program does not use the standard system tools to draw the text to the screen or to create the controls for the program, it may be impossible for the user who is blind to access or use that program.
Application programs which do not use the system tools may not be accessible to people using special access software or features in the operating system.
Application programs which provide the ability to access all of the menus by using the keyboard greatly facilitate access by individuals who cannot use the standard pointing device.

 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.

 Application Program Interface from FOLDOC
(API, or "application programming interface") The interface (calling conventions) by which an application program accesses operating system and other services.
An API is defined at source code level and provides a level of abstraction between the application and the kernel (or other privileged utilities) to ensure the portability of the code.
In this case, the API's main task may be the translation of parameter lists from one format to another and the interpretation of call-by-value and call-by-reference arguments in one or both directions.

 RFC 2743 (rfc2743) - Generic Security Service Application Program Interfac
Abstract The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API), Version 2, as defined in [RFC-2078], provides security services to callers in a generic fashion, supportable with a range of underlying mechanisms and technologies and hence allowing source-level portability of applications to different environments.
Examples of additional aspects of delegation control that a mechanism might provide to an application are duration of delegation, network addresses from which delegation is valid, and constraints on the tasks that may be performed by a delegate.
Applications requesting default behavior are likely to be more portable across mechanisms and platforms than those that use GSS_Acquire_cred() to request a specific identity.
