    Guía práctica de estudio 06: Entorno de C (editores, compilación y ejecución) Elaborado por: Ing. Laura Sandoval Montaño Juan Francisco De reza Trujillo Guía práctica de estudio 06: Entorno de C (editores, compilación y ejecución) Objetivo: Conocer y usar los ambientes y herramientas para el desarrollo y ejecución de programas en Lenguaje C, como editores y compiladores en diversos sistemas operativos. Actividades: . Utilizando un editor de GNU/Linux, crear un archivo de texto . Modificar/actualizar un archivo ya existente con un editor GNU/Linux. Crear, compilar y ejecutar un programa simple escrito en C en GNU/Linux . En algún entorno de desarrollo de Windows, crear, compilar y ejecutar un programa simple escrito en C. Introducción Un lenguaje de programación permite expresar una serie de instrucciones que podrán ser realizadas por una computadora. Unos de los lenguajes de programación mayormente difundidos es el lenguaje C. Éste es muy utilizado ya que la forma de dar instrucciones es muy cercana a lo que un humano podría abstraer, es decir, las instrucciones no son tal cual las que una computadora podría entender, para ello se necesitaría conocer a fondo el microprocesador, el sistema operativo entre otros aspectos. Por esta razón, C es conocido como un lenguaje de alto nivel, esto significa a que las instrucciones podrían ser entendidas fácilmente por un humano. En contraparte, un lenguaje de bajo nivel, son instrucciones que son cercanas a lo que la máquina puede entender y difícilmente pueden ser comprendidas por una persona que no tenga conocimientos de la máquina en que operarán. Algunos autores consideran al lenguaje C como un lenguaje de mediano nivel, ya que no es totalmente transparente sino tiene elementos que tienen que ver con la arquitectura de la máquina a la hora de programar.

  • Text Editing in UNIX: an Introduction to Vi and Editing
    Text Editing in UNIX A short introduction to vi, pico, and gedit Copyright 20062009 Stewart Weiss About UNIX editors There are two types of text editors in UNIX: those that run in terminal windows, called text mode editors, and those that are graphical, with menus and mouse pointers. The latter require a windowing system, usually X Windows, to run. If you are remotely logged into UNIX, say through SSH, then you should use a text mode editor. It is possible to use a graphical editor, but it will be much slower to use. I will explain more about that later. 2 CSci 132 Practical UNIX with Perl Text mode editors The three text mode editors of choice in UNIX are vi, emacs, and pico (really nano, to be explained later.) vi is the original editor; it is very fast, easy to use, and available on virtually every UNIX system. The vi commands are the same as those of the sed filter as well as several other common UNIX tools. emacs is a very powerful editor, but it takes more effort to learn how to use it. pico is the easiest editor to learn, and the least powerful. pico was part of the Pine email client; nano is a clone of pico. 3 CSci 132 Practical UNIX with Perl What these slides contain These slides concentrate on vi because it is very fast and always available. Although the set of commands is very cryptic, by learning a small subset of the commands, you can edit text very quickly. What follows is an outline of the basic concepts that define vi.

    COP 3344 Introduction to UNIX Lecture Session: Introduction Topic: Editors Daniel Chang Copyright August 2006, Daniel Chang COP 3344 Introduction to UNIX Using "pico" • The command "pico" will start the "pico" text editor with an empty buffer • Specifying a file name will have "pico" open that file (or start a new file) • Incidentally, "nano" is a GNU clone of "pico" pico pico <filename> Commands • Arrow keys are used to navigate around document • Similar to "pine" e-mail program, available commands are displayed at the bottom of the "pico" window • The caret symbol (^) indicates you must press and hold the control key first, then press the key for the command. Marking and Cut & Paste • You cannot use your mouse in "pico" (actually, the mouse works to cut and paste because of the SSHClient program, but you must learn how to work without it) • ^^ (ctrl-shift-^) begins marking text at the current cursor position • Use the arrow keys to mark text • ^k cuts text (kills), ^u then brings the text back at the current cursor position Saving • ^o writes "Out" the buffered text to a file • A prompt appears at the bottom of the screen allowing you to specify a file name • ^x exits "pico" Copyright August 2006, Daniel Chang COP 3344 Introduction to UNIX "pico" Commands (arrows) Move cursor (bksp) Move cursor left one space, deleting character ^a Move to beginning of line ^b Move back one character (same as left arrow) ^e Move to end of line ^f Move forward one character (same as right arrow) ^n Move to next line (same as down arrow) ^p Move to previous

  • Cooper (2007) Advanced Bash Scripting Guide
    Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting Mendel Cooper <[email protected]> 5.1 10 November 2007 Revision History Revision 4.3 29 Apr 2007 Revised by: mc 'INKBERRY' release: Minor Update. Revision 5.0 24 Jun 2007 Revised by: mc 'SERVICEBERRY' release: Major Update. Revision 5.1 10 Nov 2007 Revised by: mc 'LINGONBERRY' release: Minor Update. This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts. This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts. The latest update of this document, as an archived, bzip2-ed "tarball" including both the SGML source and rendered HTML, may be downloaded from the author's home site.
