Explain significance of following commands (2x5=10 M) i. cp ?????? progs Wild card ? matches any single character, hence the above command (cp) copies files whose names are six in length to progs directory ii. ls *.[xyz]* Wild card * matches any number of characters, hence the above command (ls) lists all the files having extension as either x, or y or z. iii. ls jones[0-9][0- 9][0-9] In the above command the character class[0-9] matches any digit between 0 to 9. Hence the above command lists all the files beginning with jones and having last three characters as any digit between 0 to 9. iv. echo * The above command lists all the file in the current directory. v. cp foo foo* The above command copies the file foo to file called foo*.

  • Printing Printf: Formatted Printing
    Printing printf: formatted printing So far we have just been copying stuff from standard-in, files, pipes, etc to the screen or another file. Say I have a file with names and phone numbers. I would like to print it out with vertically aligned columns. (so my printout is not in the same format as the input file) File contents: Desired display: Bob 4929 Bob 4929 Chuck 4882 Chuck 4882 printf is a command from the C programming language to control printing.

Thus, if you are interested, please get involved in improving this manual. The entire gnu community will benefit. The gnu utilities documented here are mostly compatible with the POSIX standard. Please report bugs to [email protected]. Remember to include the version number, machine architecture, input files, and any other information needed to reproduce the bug: your input, what you expected, what you got, and why it is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but please include a description of the problem as well, since this is sometimes difficult to infer. See section “Bugs” in Using and Porting GNU CC.

  • Processes in Linux/Unix
    Processes in Linux/Unix A program/command when executed, a special instance is provided by the system to the process. This instance consists of all the services/resources that may be utilized by the process under execution. • Whenever a command is issued in unix/linux, it creates/starts a new process. For example, pwd when issued which is used to list the current directory location the user is in, a process starts. • Through a 5 digit ID number unix/linux keeps account of the processes, this number is call process id or pid. Each process in the system has a unique pid. • Used up pid’s can be used in again for a newer process since all the possible combinations are used. • At any point of time, no two processes with the same pid exist in the system because it is the pid that Unix uses to track each process. Initializing a process A process can be run in two ways: 1. Foreground Process : Every process when started runs in foreground by default, receives input from the keyboard and sends output to the screen. When issuing pwd command $ ls pwd Output: $ /home/geeksforgeeks/root When a command/process is running in the foreground and is taking a lot of time, no other processes can be run or started because the prompt would not be available until the program finishes processing and comes out. 2. Backround Process : It runs in the background without keyboard input and waits till keyboard input is required. Thus, other processes can be done in parallel with the process running in background since they do not have to wait for the previous process to be completed.

  • Systems Supplement for COP 3601
    Systems Guide for COP 3601: Introduction to Systems Software Charles N. Winton Department of Computer and Information Sciences University of North Florida 2010 Chapter 1 A Basic Guide for the Unix Operating System 1. 1 Using the Unix On-line Manual Pages Facility The following are some of the Unix commands for which you may display manual pages: cal cat cd chmod cp cut date echo egrep ex fgrep file find gcc gdb grep kill less ln locate ls mail make man mesg mkdir mv nohup nl passwd pr ps pwd rm rmdir set sleep sort stty tail tee time touch tr tty uname umask unset vim wall wc which who whoami write For example, to display the manual pages for the command "cp" enter man cp Note that you may also enter man man to find out more about the "man" command. In addition there may be commands unique to the local environment with manual pages; e.g., man turnin accesses a manual page for a project submission utility named Aturnin@ that has been added to the system. If you enter a command from the Unix prompt that requires an argument, the system will recognize that the command is incomplete and respond with an error message. For example, if the command "cp" had been entered at the Unix prompt the system would respond with the information such as shown below: cp: missing file arguments Try `cp --help' for more information. The "cp" command is a copy command. If the arguments which tell the command which file to copy and where to locate the copied file are missing, then the usage error message is generated.

The current solution of shipping an old version which precedes the 20 license change is not tenable in the long term, as there are no upgrades with 21 bugfixes or new features for such important package. 22 This situation leads to the search for a drop-in replacement of coreutils, which 23 need to provide compatibility with the standard GNU coreutils packages. The 24 reason behind is that many other packages rely on the tools it provides, and 25 failing to do that would lead to hard to debug failures and many custom patches 26 spread all over the archive. In this regard the strict requirement is to support 27 the features needed to boot a target image with ideally no changes in other 28 components. The features currently available in our coreutils-gplv2 fork are a 29 good approximation. 30 Besides these specific requirements, the are general ones common to any Open 31 Source Project, such as maturity and reliability.

  • Answers to Selected Problems
    Answers to selected problems Chapter 4 1 Whenever you need to find out information about a command, you should use man. With option -k followed by a keyword, man will display commands related to that keyword. In this case, a suitable keyword would be login, and the dialogue would look like: $ man -k login ... logname (1) - print user’s login name ... The correct answer is therefore logname.Tryit: $ logname chris 3 As in problem 4.1, you should use man to find out more information on date. In this case, however, you need specific information on date, so the command you use is $ man date The manual page for date is likely to be big, but this is not a problem. Remember that the manual page is divided into sections. First of all, notice that under section SYNOPSIS the possible format for arguments to date is given: NOTE SYNOPSIS date [-u] [+format] The POSIX standard specifies only two This indicates that date may have up to two arguments, both of arguments to date – which are optional (to show this, they are enclosed in square some systems may in brackets). The second one is preceded by a + symbol, and if you addition allow others read further down, in the DESCRIPTION section it describes what format can contain. This is a string (so enclose it in quotes) which 278 Answers to selected problems includes field descriptors to specify exactly what the output of date should look like. The field descriptors which are relevant are: %r (12-hour clock time), %A (weekday name), %d (day of week), %B (month name) and %Y (year).
