    UI. User Interface. The bridge between a system and a user. So anything, literally any information transfer from the user to the system OR from the system to the user, is a User Interface.

      A definition so broad as to be useless.

      Is it a UI when someone calls memcpy to move data from a file to a screen buffer?

        I did not make this definition. However, this does not give you the freedom to make up your own definition and treat it as a fact. Don’t spread wrong information.

        This isn’t hard, you’re just trying to make it to be.

        Memcpy from a file to a screen buffer is as much a UI as pouring water in a pot is a soup.
