  • 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.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. User Manual for Ox: An Attribute-Grammar Compiling System based on Yacc, Lex, and C Abstract Ox generalizes the function of Yacc in the way that attribute grammars generalize context-free grammars. Ordinary Yacc and Lex specifications may be augmented with definitions of synthesized and inherited attributes written in C syntax. From these specifications, Ox generates a program that builds and decorates attributed parse trees. Ox accepts a most general class of attribute grammars. The user may specify postdecoration traversals for easy ordering of side effects such as code generation. Ox handles the tedious and error-prone details of writing code for parse-tree management, so its use eases problems of security and maintainability associated with that aspect of translator development. The translators generated by Ox use internal memory management that is often much faster than the common technique of calling malloc once for each parse-tree node.

  • Differentiating Logarithm and Exponential Functions
    Differentiating logarithm and exponential functions mc-TY-logexp-2009-1 This unit gives details of how logarithmic functions and exponential functions are differentiated from first principles. In order to master the techniques explained here it is vital that you undertake plenty of practice exercises so that they become second nature. After reading this text, and/or viewing the video tutorial on this topic, you should be able to: • differentiate ln x from first principles • differentiate ex Contents 1. Introduction 2 2. Differentiation of a function f(x) 2 3. Differentiation of f(x)=ln x 3 4. Differentiation of f(x) = ex 4 www.mathcentre.ac.uk 1 c mathcentre 2009 1. Introduction In this unit we explain how to differentiate the functions ln x and ex from first principles. To understand what follows we need to use the result that the exponential constant e is defined 1 1 as the limit as t tends to zero of (1 + t) /t i.e. lim (1 + t) /t. t→0 1 To get a feel for why this is so, we have evaluated the expression (1 + t) /t for a number of decreasing values of t as shown in Table 1. Note that as t gets closer to zero, the value of the expression gets closer to the value of the exponential constant e≈ 2.718.... You should verify some of the values in the Table, and explore what happens as t reduces further. 1 t (1 + t) /t 1 (1+1)1/1 = 2 0.1 (1+0.1)1/0.1 = 2.594 0.01 (1+0.01)1/0.01 = 2.705 0.001 (1.001)1/0.001 = 2.717 0.0001 (1.0001)1/0.0001 = 2.718 We will also make frequent use of the laws of indices and the laws of logarithms, which should be revised if necessary.

  • 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.

What is the Visual Text Editor (vi)? The Visual Test Editor, more commonly known as the vi text editor, is a standard “visual” (full screen) editor available for test editing in UNIX. It is a combination of the capabilities of the UNIX ed and ex text editors. It has specific modes for text insertion and deletion as well as command entering. Type view on the command line of the UNIX shell terminal to enter the read- only mode of vi. To switch between the line editor, ex, mode and the full screen wrapmargin vi mode: • To enter the ex mode from the vi mode, type Q • To enter the vi mode from the ex mode, type vi When vi is entered on the command line, you enter vi’s command (entering) mode. Positioning and editing commands can be entered to perform functions in this mode whilst advanced editing commands can be entered following a colon (:) that places you at the bottom of the file. To enter text insertion mode, a vi text insertion command i, o, or a is typed so that text will no longer be interpreted as positioning or editing commands in this mode.

  • Functionality and Expression in Computer Programs: Refining the Tests for Software Copyright Infringement
    SAMUELSON_F&E ARTICLE (DO NOT DELETE) 1/31/2017 12:08 PM FUNCTIONALITY AND EXPRESSION IN COMPUTER PROGRAMS: REFINING THE TESTS FOR SOFTWARE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT Pamela Samuelson* Abstract Courts have struggled for decades to develop a test for judging infringement claims in software copyright cases that distinguishes between program expression that copyright law protects and program functionality for which copyright protection is unavailable. The case law thus far has adopted four main approaches to judging copyright infringement claims in software cases. One, now mostly discredited, test would treat all structure, sequence, and organization (SSO) of programs as protectable expression unless there is only one way to perform a program function. A second, now widely applied, three-step test calls for creation of a hierarchy of abstractions for an allegedly infringed program, filtration of unprotectable elements, and comparison of the protectable expression of the allegedly infringed program with the expression in the second program that is the basis of the infringement claim. A third approach has focused on whether the allegedly infringing elements are program processes or methods of operation that lie outside the scope of protection available from copyright law. A fourth approach has concentrated on whether the allegedly infringing elements of a program are instances in which ideas or functions have merged with program expression. This Article offers both praise and criticism of the approaches taken thus far to judging software copyright infringement, and it proposes an alternative unified test for infringement that is consistent with traditional principles of copyright law and that will promote healthy competition and ongoing innovation in the software industry.
