  • UNIX Shell Programming (15CS35) Solution Internal Assessment
    UNIX Shell Programming (15CS35) Solution Internal Assessment- II November - 2016 1. 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*. Here the wild card * loses its meaning. 1. Write UNIX commands for the following (2 X 5= 10 M) i. Find and replace all the occurrences of unix with UNIX in the file after confirming the user. : 1,$s/unix/UNIX/gc ii. List all the files in the current directory which names are having exactly 5 characters and any number of characters in their extension. ls ?????.* iii. Copy all files stored in /home/vtu with .c, .cpp and .java extensions to progs sub- directory in current directory cp /home/vtu/*.{c,cpp,java} ./progs iv. Delete all files containing agra or agar in their file names. rm *ag[ra][ar]* v.

  • CSE421 Midterm Solutions —SOLUTION SET— 09 Mar 2012
    CSE421 Midterm Solutions —SOLUTION SET— 09 Mar 2012 This midterm exam consists of three types of questions: 1. 10 multiple choice questions worth 1 point each. These are drawn directly from lecture slides and intended to be easy. 2. 6 short answer questions worth 5 points each. You can answer as many as you want, but we will give you credit for your best four answers for a total of up to 20 points. You should be able to answer the short answer questions in four or five sentences. 3. 2 long answer questions worth 20 points each. Please answer only one long answer question. If you answer both, we will only grade one. Your answer to the long answer should span a page or two. Please answer each question as clearly and succinctly as possible. Feel free to draw pic- tures or diagrams if they help you to do so. No aids of any kind are permitted. The point value assigned to each question is intended to suggest how to allocate your time. So you should work on a 5 point question for roughly 5 minutes. CSE421 Midterm Solutions 09 Mar 2012 Multiple Choice 1. (10 points) Answer all ten of the following questions. Each is worth one point. (a) In the story that GWA (Geoff) began class with on Monday, March 4th, why was the Harvard student concerned about his grade? p He never attended class. He never arrived at class on time. He usually fell asleep in class. He was using drugs. (b) All of the following are inter-process (IPC) communication mechanisms except p shared files.

Precise GC is primarily useful for ming environment, or an operating system kernel. For such pro- long-running programs and programs that interact with untrusted grams, conservative GC can trigger unbounded memory use due to components. In particular, we have successfully deployed precise linked lists [Boehm 2002] that manage threads and continuations; GC in the C implementation of a language run-time system that was this problem is usually due to liveness imprecision [Hirzel et al. originally designed to use conservative GC. We also report on our 2002], rather than type imprecision. Furthermore, the programs experience in transforming parts of the Linux kernel to use precise are susceptible to memory-exhaustion attack from malicious code GC instead of manual memory management.

  • 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. Shell script #!/bin/bash printf "Hello world.\n" a=`echo Hello world. | wc | nawk '{print $2}' ` printf "This phrase contains %d words\n" $a Run it alpaca.ceri.memphis.edu512:> printex.sh Hello world.
