I would like to access/print a C Variable of any type "as it is stored in the memory". I would expect the output to be an array of bits. Whats the simplest/shortest way to do that?

I need to call a function that takes a string array as argument, declared like this:Code:int someFunction(/* some parameters... */, const char* s[]);I'd like to know how to allocate memory for the string array. I know a string is an array of chars and an array is a pointer to the first element, then a string array should simply be a two dimensional char array. But is it a single memory block where all strings are stored consecutively?? Or is it a base vector where each element is a pointer to a separate memory block that contains a single string?More specifically: should I malloc() a single memory block large enough for all the strings? or should I allocate separate blocks for each string plus an extra one for the base vector?

pattern_search="Exam Name"
sed -n "/$pattern_search/,/hello/"p tmp5 | awk '{if ( $4 != 0 && $4 ~ /[0-9]+.*[0-9]*/ ) print "$pattern_search" " " $0 }'
"tmp5" is a file. this is printing output as
$pattern_search value1
i.e value of $pattern_search is not getting substituted. i am expecting output as
Exam Name value1
For example, when using bash you can use
Code:
to execute the previous command or
Code:
!<number> to execute the Nth command(use history to see the list). Or you can use
Code:
cd !-2:1
to cd into the value in the first field that was executed 2 commands ago Anyhow, say I run a command and the output is a path. Any way to cd and then some variable where OUTPUT of the previous command was stored? A variable that always stores the OUTPUT of the last command.
I have a single board computer previously running DOS. I recently made Linux running on it. Now that the system is running Linux, I have to translate the code that was supported by DOS. The code has segments that allow direct access of memory mapped registers through the macro _MK_FP and do read/write. I have read that where DOS allows this kind of direct memory access, Linux does not. Is there a way to do this in Linux?

I would expect the output to be:

What happens to the quotes? I have tried various combinations of single quotes, escaped quotes, etc, but it seems like quotes in a variable are not evaluated as quotes when that variable is executed.

Kernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0

This GDB was configured as "i486-slackware-linux".
Code:
What could the cause of the message output by gdb possibly be? Reading some tutorials, I've learn the flat memory model is used in linux. So, in particular, I needn't care about the DS segment register.
Also, line 7 in the listing above, suggests nasm is assuming 32-bit addressing and so, I think it is using the flat memory model.
I have installed ubuntu 10.04 using wubi installer..I am dual booting ubuntu with windows 7.I have alloted 8 gb of disk space while installing ubuntu.My first question is how can i know where the installed applications are stored and how much memory they occupy and how much free space is available out of the alloted 8gb.?My second one is now i have to install RAD 7.5 which requires 3.5 gb of free space..How can i expand the disk space without the need of reinstalling ubuntu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).
my script has a variable which comes in the form +00.00 +0.00 -00.00 or -0.00 (the numbers can be any in that form) for any that have a + symbol I need to remove the +, but if it has a - symbol it needs to stay.
i need to make a new variable with the string from the old variable btut without any plus sign. I have tried a lot of different ways with no success, each thing I tried either left the + or removed the entire string. I think this should work but doesn't
foo=+12.40
bar=${foo#+}
I have a PHP script which will show info from 5 lines in a MySQL database, with a "next" button to show the next 5 lines and so on. Initially it'll get called with a ?page=1 in the args in the URL, and then onward I want the "next" button to link to the same script , but with a ?page=2 in the args. First of all, how can I access the "page" variable inside the script to see what args it's been given? (sorry, extremely newbie question here )
And secondly, what will the code for the "next" button look like? If the script is called "seenames.php", I want this: print "A HREF="...cgi/seenames.php?page=$page+1">Next</A> , if you get my meaning. But what will the quoting for the above line be? I'm sure I've got it wrong.
how I can search within a variable and assign the results to a new variable. I'll use the following as an example -
cars="Audi BMW Cadillac Chevy Dodge Ferrari Ford Mercedes"
list=`echo ${cars} | egrep -o '<A?+|<C+'`
with the echo command I get the following output assigned to list -
A
C
C
What I'd like to get for output is -
Audi
Cadillac
Chevy
how I could do this regardless of upper/lower case letters?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup a print server in Fedora 13. I've made it using CUPS and when I send something to print from a Windows PC it goes ok. My main concern is to know where is the spool file stored when a file is sent to print. I've seen in many forums that it is stored in /var/spools/cups. What I only see here is a file name c000XXX with some information about the printing job. I'm using hold print for this printer and before printing out anything I can't find the spool. I've tried cups-pdf and it stores a pdf file in a route but this is not enough for me. I need to know where the spool data is stored in order to know from who is the job being send.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux. I was running Ubuntu 10.04. While downloading software, one of my downloads changed changed my OS to Xubuntu. From browsing the available software, I surmised(wrongfully it turned out) that files starting were X files. In Synaptic, I deleted all files starting with X. This I found is a form of hari kari. When I boot up now, I have a choice of straight to Ubuntu or "Help" mode. If I boot up straight, I get to Ubuntu logo and it hangs up running the dots between red and green and I give a warm boot to restart. If I choose the "Help" route, I go thru what a windows user would call DOS commands or activity. At the end of whatever it is doing, it asks for user ID and password. I give it those and I am given a command line. I don't know what to do with this. I would like to access my stored files and save them. If nothing can be done to save them, I will just start over by reinstalling 10.04. BTW I am running 7.1 from an old boot disc. Is there some way that I can retrieve my files?

Is that possible that SHM shared memory is counted as cache memory on Linux with kernel 2.6.18?If find it really odd since this memory is not file backed, but I have a piece of code that loads data using shm_open+mmap, and it generates an amount of cache memory in /proc/meminfo that corresponds exactly to the amount of shared memory (I load that data from a file but I am using posix_fadvise(fd,0,0,POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to ensure this file is not cached and I made sure that it is working as expected). As far as I know SHM memory was not tagged as cache memory with kernel 2.6.9.If it is the case it is really unfortunate since normally cache memory can be considered to be part of the "available" memory since it can be flushed promptly but this is clearly not the case with SHM memory... Is there an easy way to get the total amount of used SHM memory on a system?
