Programming :: Directory Record Length Is Variable In Ext2 Filesystem?

Jan 7, 2011

The declaration for directory record length in ext2 filesystem is as follows:

Code:
#define EXT2_NAME_LEN 255
struct ext2_dir_entry_2 {
__u32 inode; /* Inode number */
__u16 rec_len; /* Directory entry length */
__u8 name_len; /* Name length */
__u8 file_type;
char name[EXT2_NAME_LEN]; /* File name */
};

Some say because the record is not in a fixed length so rec_len is the real record length. Why is the length of the array `name' not fixed? I thought C arrays like this should be fixed length. C99 has variable-length arrays, does this structure count on C99?

Programming :: Parse Multiple Variable From Text File With Bash?

Jul 13, 2010

I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:

:::::::::::
var1=value1
var2=value2

[code].....

I have to read first paragraph of variables and do some processing and then move on until the end of file. Variable names are same in whole file but for each paragraph the value is different. I can't think of a logic to attain this task. How can I do it? It should be a simple bash script, but I am not able to work out.

Networking :: Wlan0: Option 43 Has Zero Length, Failed To Parse Packet?

Apr 14, 2010

I have a thread started on the Slackware forum about the possibility of installing Slackware on an older P4 laptop. Well, it installed fine and most things are working, but I am experiencing one problem that I need to solve before I progress to working on other things.

I hope the mods will not consider this a double thread because it is a networking issue and the other thread was started about a different subject, and I thought there might be more networking specialists there (though everyone I meet on the Slack forum is very knowledgeable, this one has not been solved.)

I am trying to connect wireless with an RT2500 chipset, the correct module loads and the machine is connected to the network, but with a "failed" IP address (169.254.167.101). This also occurs with a wired connection. The exact error is:

Code:
err, wlan0: option 43 has zero length
failed to parse packet

It times out then assigns the failed IP address and connects to the network, but of course nothing works.

I use WPA psk and I have another laptop with the same configs and works perfectly with Slackware -current, so I followed the same routine to set this one up. When that didn't work, I backed up the existed /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and wpa_supplicant.conf, and copied the working files to the new setup. Same result.

There does not seem to be any information about this error either here on LQ, or on the net. I have certainly never encountered it before.

Because it connects with good signal strength, and because it also occurs with wired connections, I can only assume that it is related to WPA in some way. I have not reset the router because I have a number of other machines connected. All of the other machines work, and this one connects, so it is not hardware related.

General :: Variable Length Console Prompt?

Jul 15, 2010

I have a question about the prompt. it is very easy to tune it for it to be colored and display path where you are etc. But my problem is that when the path is too long I would prefer the code line to be on the folowing line...

Ex
11:00 me@host a/short/path > ls -ltr ./stuff
11:00 me@host a/very/very/very/long/path
> ls -ltr ./stuff

and to be honnest as I am very new in LINUX I don't know how to do this...

General :: Implementing A Variable-length List Of Keywords In Mysql?

Sep 20, 2010

I'm having a hard time googling for answers because I keep using the word "keyword."

I've never really used any kind of database before, but I want to learn the basics, so I'm playing with it a little bit at work. What I want to do is make a database to hold information on various articles. For example, with columns for the title, author, and date. Those are all easy. The tricky part is that I'd also like to be able to label articles with keywords so I can search for certain topics.

Since there's no way to know ahead of time how many keywords, if any, each article might warrant, I'm not sure how to put this in database form. There's no variable-sized array data type. It seems sloppy to just list them all in a single VARCHAR column. Making several columns that may or may not be left null and putting one keyword in each seems wasteful.

General :: (standard_in) 1: Parse Error Setting Variable With Bc?

Debian Multimedia :: Conky Execp / Execpi To Parse Output Of Scroll Variable Generated From Shell Or PHP Scripts

Sep 11, 2015

I am having a hard time getting conky execp/execpi to correctly parse output of the scroll variable generated from shell or PHP scripts.

Code: Select allDebian 8.0
Xfce 4.10

This is a simplified minimal conky configuration file used to show the same problem:

Code: Select allalignment bottom_middle
background no

default_outline_color white
default_shade_color white
double_buffer yes

[Code] ....

Here is the output I'm getting:

Code: Select all          ABC       /*doesn't scroll, UNEXPECTED, shows 10 spaces before ABC*/
          ABC       --||--
abcdefghijklmnopABC /*doesn't scroll, WORKS AS EXPECTED as scroll length is 25 which is longer than text "abcdefghijklmnop" */
abcdefghijklmnopABC --||--
abcdefghijklmnopABC /*WORKS, everything before ABC scrolls 5 characters at a time*/

Programming :: Bash - Read Content Of File To Variable And Use This Variable In For Loop ?

Aug 21, 2009

I'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).

Programming :: Calculate Length Of My Array?

Jun 30, 2010

[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ echo ${#Unix[@]}

This should be ideally 4, but somehow it is showing as 5. However, when I am removing the space as RedHat instead of Red Hat, it is working perfectly.
