Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1 Introduction ne is a full screen text editor for UN*X (or, more precisely, for POSIX: see Chapter 7 [Motivations and Design], page 65). I came to the decision to write such an editor after getting completely sick of vi, both from a feature and user interface point of view. I needed an editor that I could use through a telnet connection or a phone line and that wouldn’t fire off a full-blown LITHP1 operating system just to do some editing. A concise overview of the main features follows: • three user interfaces: control keystrokes, command line, and menus; keystrokes and menus are completely configurable; • syntax highlighting; • full support for UTF-8 files, including multiple-column characters; • 64-bit

Installation procedures vary slightly depending on the operating system. Refer to the appropriate procedure for your operating system. Domino does not support the HP-UX operating system. Creating symbolic links for the Domino plug-in on Linux and Solaris hosts You need to perform this procedure if you want to create symbolic links for the Domino plug-in on Linux and Solaris hosts. You should not copy and paste commands directly from this document; errors (such as incorrectly transferred characters caused by line breaks and hard returns) might result. Copy and paste the commands into a text editor, verify the commands, and then enter them in the CLI console. The paths provided in the following steps refer to the 32-bit systems; 64-bit systems must create simlinks to /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib.

  • DC Console Using DC Console Application Design Software
    DC Console Using DC Console Application Design Software DC Console is easy-to-use, application design software developed specifically to work in conjunction with AML’s DC Suite. Create. Distribute. Collect. Every LDX10 handheld computer comes with DC Suite, which includes seven (7) pre-developed applications for common data collection tasks. Now LDX10 users can use DC Console to modify these applications, or create their own from scratch. AML 800.648.4452 Made in USA www.amltd.com Introduction This document briefly covers how to use DC Console and the features and settings. Be sure to read this document in its entirety before attempting to use AML’s DC Console with a DC Suite compatible device. What is the difference between an “App” and a “Suite”? “Apps” are single applications running on the device used to collect and store data. In most cases, multiple apps would be utilized to handle various operations. For example, the ‘Item_Quantity’ app is one of the most widely used apps and the most direct means to take a basic inventory count, it produces a data file showing what items are in stock, the relative quantities, and requires minimal input from the mobile worker(s). Other operations will require additional input, for example, if you also need to know the specific location for each item in inventory, the ‘Item_Lot_Quantity’ app would be a better fit. Apps can be used in a variety of ways and provide the LDX10 the flexibility to handle virtually any data collection operation. “Suite” files are simply collections of individual apps. Suite files allow you to easily manage and edit multiple apps from within a single ‘store-house’ file and provide an effortless means for device deployment.

  • Pipe and Filter Architectural Style Group Number: 5 Group Members: Fan Zhao 20571694 Yu Gan 20563500 Yuxiao Yu 20594369
    Pipe and Filter Architectural Style Group Number: 5 Group Members: Fan Zhao 20571694 Yu Gan 20563500 Yuxiao Yu 20594369 1. Have its own vocabulary for its components and connectors? (define) The Pipe and Filter is an architectural pattern for stream processing. It consists of one or more components called filters. These filters will transform or filter ​ ​ data and then pass it on via connectors called pipes. These filters, which merely ​ ​ consume and produce data, can be seen as functions like sorting and counting. All of these filters can work at the same time. Also, every pipe connected to a filter has its own role in the function of the filter. When data is sent from the producer (pump), it ​ ​ goes through the pipes and filters, and arrives the destination (sink). The pump can ​ ​ be a static text file or a keyboard input. The sink can be a file, a database or a computer screen. 2. Impose specific topological constraints? (diagram) Figure 1 shows a basic structure of Pipe and Filter architecture style. In this example, there are five filters and eight pipes. Each filter will get input from one or more pipes and pass it via pipes. The combination of several filters and pipes can be regarded as a “big” filter. Figure 2 is an specific example using Pipe and Filter architecture style. This example demonstrates a simple process of making sandwiches. To begin with, the first 4 filters can work simultaneously for preparation. Once they are done, the 5th filter can get the output and combine them together. Next, a following filter will add sauce to it and pass it to customer through a pipe.

  • 101 Useful Linux Commands - Haydenjames.Io
    101 Useful Linux Commands - haydenjames.io Some of these commands require elevated permissions (sudo) to run. Enjoy! 1. Execute the previous command used: !! 2. Execute a previous command starting with a specific letter. Example: !s 3. Short way to copy or backup a file before you edit it. For example, copy nginx.conf cp nginx.conf{,.bak} 4. Toggle between current directory and last directory cd - 5. Move to parent (higher level) directory. Note the space! cd .. 6. Go to home directory cd ~ 7. Go to home directory cd $HOME 8. Go to home directory (when used alone) cd 9. Set permissions to 755. Corresponds to these permissions: (-rwx-r-x-r-x), arranged in this sequence: (owner-group-other) chmod 755 <filename> 10. Add execute permission to all users. chmod a+x <filename> 11. Changes ownership of a file or directory to . chown <username> 12. Make a backup copy of a file (named file.backup) cp <file> <file>.backup 13. Copy file1, use it to create file2 cp <file1> <file2> 14. Copy directory1 and all its contents (recursively) into directory2 cp -r <directory1> <directory2>/ 15. Display date date 16. Zero the sdb drive. You may want to use GParted to format the drive afterward. You need elevated permissions to run this (sudo). dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb 17. Display disk space usage df -h 18. Take detailed messages from OS and input to text file dmesg>dmesg.txt 19. Display a LOT of system information. I usually pipe output to less. You need elevated permissions to run this (sudo).
