Flow-driven programming

Flow-driven programming is a computer programming paradigm used by traditional programs, which follow their own control flow pattern, only sometimes changing course at branch points. Many common programs will fall under this paradigm, for example, Wget would seem to fall under it, as the flow of the program is not based on outside events, but rather on the operations as structured in the program being performed. This is in contrast to Event-driven programming, which is especially common in applications which are asynchronous, such as a text editor, a kernel, or a GUI application.
