Troubleshooting Problems:Reproduction Topic Group 7 14 or Distribution Prohibited iv Unauthorized Typographic ConventionsEVALUATION COPY The fonts, layout, and typographic conventions of this book have been carefully chosen to increase readability. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with them. A Warning and SolutionReproduction A common problem with computer training and reference materials is the confusion of the numbers "zero" and "one" with the letters "oh" and 0The number OThe letter "ell". To avoid this confusion, this book uses a fixed-width font that makes "zero". "oh". each letter and number distinct. Typefaces Used and Their Meanings The following typeface conventions have been followedor in this book: fixed-width normal ) Used to denote file names and directories. For example, the /etc/passwd file or /etc/sysconfig/Distributiondirectory. Also used for computer text, particularily command line output. 1The number lThe letter "one". "ell". fixed-width italic ) Indicates that a substitution is required. For example, the string stationX is commonly used to indicate that the student is expected to replace X with his or her own station number, such as station3. fixed-width bold ) Used to set apart commands. For example, theProhibited sed command. Also used to indicate input a user might type on the command line. For example, ssh -X station3. fixed-width bold italic ) Used when a substitution is required within a command or user input. For example, ssh -X stationX. fixed-width underlined ) Used to denote URLs. For example, http://www.gurulabs.com/. variable-width bold ) Used within labs to indicate a required student action that is not typed on the command line. Occasional variations from these conventions occur to increase clarity. This is most apparent in the labs where bold text is only used to indicate commands the student must enter or actions the student must perform. v Unauthorized Typographic ConventionsEVALUATION COPY Terms and Definitions Line Wrapping The following format is used to introduce and define a series of terms: Occasionally content that should be on a single line, such as command line input or URLs, must be broken across multiple lines in order to fit deprecate ) To indicate that something is considered obsolete, with on the page. When this is the case, a special symbol is used to indicate the intent of future removal.Reproduction to the reader what has happened. When copying the content, the line frob ) To manipulate or adjust, typically for fun, as opposed to tweak. breaks should not be included. For example, the following hypothetical grok ) To understand. Connotes intimate and exhaustive knowledge. PAM configuration should only take two actual lines: hork ) To break, generally beyond hope of repair. hosed ) A metaphor referring to a Cray that crashed after the password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3a disconnection of coolant hoses. Upon correction, users were assured type= minlen=12 dcredit=2 ucredit=2 lcredit=0 ocredit=2 the system was rehosed. password required /lib/security/pam_unix.so use_authtok mung (or munge) ) Mash Until No Good: to modify a file, often Representing File Edits irreversibly. troll ) To bait, or provoke, an argument, often targetedor towards the File edits are represented using a consistent layout similar to the unified newbie. Also used to refer to a person that regularly trolls. Distribution diff format. When a line should be added, it is shown in bold with a twiddle ) To make small, often aimless, changes. Similar to frob. plus sign to the left. When a line should be deleted, it is shown struck out with a minus sign to the left. When a line should be modified, it When discussing a command, this same format is also used to show and is shown twice. The old version of the line is shown struck out with a describe a list of common or important command options. For example, minus sign to the left. The new version of the line is shown below the the following ssh options: old version, bold and with a plus sign to the left. Unmodified lines are often included to provide context for the edit. For example, the following -X ) Enables X11 forwarding. In older versions of OpenSSH that do describes modification of an existing line and addition of a new line to not include -Y, this enables trusted X11 forwarding.

  • What Is a Port
    What is a port The Ports Collection is essentially a set of Makefiles, patches, and description files placed in /usr/ports. The port includes instructions on how to build source code, but does not include the actual source code. You can get the source code from a CD-ROM or from the Internet. Source code is distributed in whatever manner the software author desires. Frequently this is a tarred and gzipped file, but it might be compressed with some other tool or even uncompressed. The program source code, whatever form it comes in, is called a ``distfile'' A port skeleton is a minimal set of files that tell your FreeBSD system how to cleanly compile and install a program. Each port skeleton includes: ●A Makefile. The Makefile contains various statements that specify how the application should be compiled and where it should be installed on your system. A distinfo file. This file contains information about the files that must be downloaded to build the port and their checksums, to verify that files have not been corrupted during the download using md5 A files directory. This directory contains patches to make the program compile and install on your FreeBSD system. Patches are basically small files that specify changes to particular files. They are in plain text format, and basically say ``Remove line 10'' or ``Change line 26 to this ...''. Patches are also known as ``diffs'' because they are generated by the diff program. This directory may also contain other files used to build the port. A pkg-descr file. This is a more detailed, often multiple-line, description of the program.

  • The Unix/Linux Library for Semaphore and Shared Memory Manipulation Programmed by B
    The Unix/Linux Library for Semaphore and Shared Memory Manipulation Programmed by B. Chandrasekara (February 2002) and updated by E. Talagrand and J. Brinkmeier (January 2004) 1. Introduction This library provides a set of functional calls (based on Unix/Linux system calls) for semaphore definitions and operations on semaphores and for a shared memory definition and shared memory access. Download from Carmen Cse2431 at Files into your directory the following files: ssem.h, ssem.c, sshm.h and sshm.c. Then obtain ssem.o and sshm.o using the following compilation commands: gcc –o ssem.o –c ssem.c gcc –o sshm.o –c sshm.c For a program that uses semaphores and a shared memory, the header files ssem.h and sshm.h have to be included into the source code as follows: #include "ssem.h" #include "sshm.h" and the following compilation commands is to be used: gcc –o program program.c ssem.o sshm.o When semaphores or sheared memories are not used in the given program, sem.o or sshm.o, respectively, may be omitted from the above commands. 2. Semaphore Definition and Operations a. int sem_create(int key, int initial_value) This function creates a new semaphore and returns a positive integer (but only if successful). The positive integer is a semaphore identifier to be used in other semaphore functions. The parameter key has to contain a unique value, and a six digit integer is recommended. The parameter initial_value should contain the initial value for the semaphore. b. int sem_open(int key) This function opens an existing semaphore and it returns a positive integer (but only if successful).

Since these structures are not known by name, special system calls (msgget(2), semop(2), shmat(2), etc.) and special userland commands (ipcrm(1), ipcs(1), etc.) are necessary. Lecture 08: Interprocess Communication I October 21, 2019 CS631-AdvancedProgrammingintheUNIXEnvironment Slide3 System V IPC: Semaphores A semaphore is a counter used to provide access to a shared data object for multiple processes. To obtain a shared resource a process needs to do the following: 1. Test semaphore that controls the resource. 2. If value of semaphore > 0, decrement semaphore and use resource; increment semaphore when done 3. If value == 0 sleep until value > 0 Semaphores are obtained using semget(2), properties controlled using semctl(2), operations on a semaphore performed using semop(2).
