Porting is the process of moving software from one platform to another.

[edit] Programming Language Features

Some programming languages facilitate portability through standards. C, for example, has compilers on multiple operating systems and hardware. A programmer following certain standards will find much of their code works when compiled on each platform.

Many interpreted programming languages have an interpreter available for multiple operating systems and hardware. This allows the exact same script to be used on each platform.
