Quine (computing): History, Standards & Science

A quine (/kwaɪn/ KWYNE) is a computer program that takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output. The standard terms for these programs in the computability theory and computer science literature are "self-replicating programs", "self-reproducing programs", and "self-copying programs".
