Hannel Jamie Milazzo Brian-Kent Proffitt SA Springer Robert Wolf Indexers Jeanne Clark Bront Davis Greg Eldred Johnna VanHoose About the Authors Susan Peppard was born many years ago in New York City. She attended New York University where she studied French literature and picked up a couple of degrees. When this failed to produce splendid job offers, she turned to computers (big, blue, room-sized machines, sporting 30 KB of memory). Today, 30 years later, she confines her computer-related activities to writing on and about them and playing games. She is a documentation consultant (technical writer) and lives in New Jersey with a horrible black dog, an innocuous grey cat, and—between semesters—varying configurations of her children. She and UNIX met in 1985 and have been living together happily ever since. Pete Holsberg saw his first computer in 1960, as a graduate student at Rutgers, and they have plagued him ever since. While at Rutgers, he was exposed to both analog and digital computers. He went to work for Electronic Associates, Inc., Princeton, New Jersey on leaving Rutgers. EAI was the world's largest manufacturer of analog and hybrid computers. He later joined Mercer College, Trenton, New Jersey in 1970 as associate professor of electrical engineering and was given responsibility for the PDP-8/I lab. He was instrumental in bringing microcomputers to the campus in 1981; these were used in electronics engineering technology education. Currently, he is systems administrator for the college's UNIX lab, consultant to the college's Academic Computing Committee, secretary of the college's LAN Computing Committee, advisor to the Educational Technology Users Group for faculty and staff, and coordinator for electronics curricula. Pete has authored a textbook on C for electronics engineering technology for Macmillan and a book on UNIX tools for Macmillan Computer Publishing. He has written invited chapters in a number of MCP books, and has been the technical editor or technical reviewer for many of MCP's UNIX book offerings. Pete lives in Ewing, New Jersey with his wife, Cathy Ann Vandegrift and their four computers. They sail and enjoy the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. Pete has a private pilot's license and is an avid autocross racer and tennis hacker. Cathy is a Realtor. James C. Armstrong, Jr., is a software engineer with ten years of industry experience with UNIX and C. He is currently working as a technical editor at Advanced Systems, and also works free-lance for several other companies in the San Francisco Bay area. He can be reached at [email protected].

    Fundamentals of UNIX Lab 5.4.6 – Listing Directory Information (Estimated time: 30 min.) Objectives: • Learn to display directory and file information • Use the ls (list files) command with various options • Display hidden files • Display files and file types • Examine and interpret the results of a long file listing • List individual directories • List directories recursively Background: In this lab, the student will use the ls command, which is used to display the contents of a directory. This command will display a listing of all files and directories within the current directory or specified directory or directories. If no pathname is given as an argument, ls will display the contents of the current directory. The ls command will list any subdirectories and files that are in the current working directory if a pathname is specified. The ls command will also default to a wide listing and display only file and directory names. There are many options that can be used with the ls command, which makes this command one of the more flexible and useful UNIX commands. Command Format: ls [-option(s)] [pathname[s]] Tools / Preparation: a) Before starting this lab, the student should review Chapter 5, Section 4 – Listing Directory Contents b) The student will need the following: 1. A login user ID, for example user2, and a password assigned by their instructor. 2. A computer running the UNIX operating system with CDE. 3. Networked computers in classroom.

  • Copy on Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis and Implementation
    Copy On Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis And Implementation Sakis Kasampalis Kongens Lyngby 2010 IMM-MSC-2010-63 Technical University of Denmark Department Of Informatics Building 321, DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark Phone +45 45253351, Fax +45 45882673 [email protected] www.imm.dtu.dk Abstract In this work I am focusing on Copy On Write based file systems. Copy On Write is used on modern file systems for providing (1) metadata and data consistency using transactional semantics, (2) cheap and instant backups using snapshots and clones. This thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the design and performance of Copy On Write based file systems. Recent efforts aiming at creating a Copy On Write based file system are ZFS, Btrfs, ext3cow, Hammer, and LLFS. My work focuses only on ZFS and Btrfs, since they support the most advanced features. The main goals of ZFS and Btrfs are to offer a scalable, fault tolerant, and easy to administrate file system. I evaluate the performance and scalability of ZFS and Btrfs. The evaluation includes studying their design and testing their performance and scalability against a set of recommended file system benchmarks. Most computers are already based on multi-core and multiple processor architec- tures. Because of that, the need for using concurrent programming models has increased. Transactions can be very helpful for supporting concurrent program- ming models, which ensure that system updates are consistent. Unfortunately, the majority of operating systems and file systems either do not support trans- actions at all, or they simply do not expose them to the users.

  • AVR244 AVR UART As ANSI Terminal Interface
    AVR244: AVR UART as ANSI Terminal Interface Features 8-bit • Make use of standard terminal software as user interface to your application. • Enables use of a PC keyboard as input and ascii graphic to display status and control Microcontroller information. • Drivers for ANSI/VT100 Terminal Control included. • Interactive menu interface included. Application Note Introduction This application note describes some basic routines to interface the AVR to a terminal window using the UART (hardware or software). The routines use a subset of the ANSI Color Standard to position the cursor and choose text modes and colors. Rou- tines for simple menu handling are also implemented. The routines can be used to implement a human interface through an ordinary termi- nal window, using interactive menus and selections. This is particularly useful for debugging and diagnostics purposes. The routines can be used as a basic interface for implementing more complex terminal user interfaces. To better understand the code, an introduction to ‘escape sequences’ is given below. Escape Sequences The special terminal functions mentioned (e.g. text modes and colors) are selected using ANSI escape sequences. The AVR sends these sequences to the connected terminal, which in turn executes the associated commands. The escape sequences are strings of bytes starting with an escape character (ASCII code 27) followed by a left bracket ('['). The rest of the string decides the specific operation. For instance, the command '1m' selects bold text, and the full escape sequence thus becomes 'ESC[1m'. There must be no spaces between the characters, and the com- mands are case sensitive. The various operations used in this application note are described below.

  • Serial (RS-232) Commands
    Serial (RS-232) Commands Chapter 8 Serial (RS-232) Commands Overview The 7330 Controller has two serial port connectors on the rear panel of the controller labeled RS232-1 and RS232-2. Either port can be configured as the Console port, the port that you use to enter commands to the repeater controller and to perform firmware updates. Whichever port is not being used as the Console port can be used as the Auxiliary port. The 7330 Repeater firmware accepts commands on the Console port. This serial port has a dedicated command queue so that commands can be processed without being delayed by user commands from the DTMF decoders. Commands entered via the serial port have the same format as commands entered via DTMF. The Auxiliary port is currently unused. This chapter describes the uses of the Console port, the command formats, sending a text file of commands, managing files in your controller, and configuring the serial ports. 8-1 7330 Chapter 8 Using the Console Port The Console port has a number of different uses and sets of commands depending on what firmware is running in the 7330 Controller. By default, the 7330 Repeater firmware is controlling the radio equipment attached to the controller. Other firmware installed in the controller, called SBOOT, allows you to manage the files stored in the flash memory of the controller. When power is first applied to the controller, the firmware outputs the following message on the Console port: S-COM 7330 Repeater V3.3 This message tells you what firmware is running and it’s version.
