I have been assigned to implement a system call that report the system statistics over all memory which are

So basically, there is a really cool writing system I have been working on. It could be viewed (for simplification purposes) like an encryption method for the Latin script.
Facts about the writing system:
It has a little over 300 symbols.
It is syllable-driven.
It is highly compositional (eg. "c", "ca", "cae", "ca " and "ci." all map to different symbols - and NOT by overlaying elements)
Symbols have medium graphical complexity (comparable to Korean Hangul, or Japanese Hiragana)
Has a rather complex set of diacritics (~10, some of which can go on any symbol)
Has no ligatures
How transliteration occurs:
Sequences of Latin symbols map to certain symbols. Example below:[G][rou][p ][hu][g.]Characters sequences between "[" and "]" map to a single symbol (so it would take only 5 symbols to write "Group hug.").
How I want it to work:
I would like to have a daemon that: Intercepts all text displayed on the screen.
Converts it to my writing system (changes letter sequences with individual Unicode codes)
Leaves unsupported symbols unchanged.
Displays all the text on the screen using my font and characters intertwined with the fonts and characters left unchanged.
For example, if you take the following line of C++ code:for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
I would like it displayed like this:[fo][r ]([i ]= [1]; [i ]<= [n]; [i]++)
Bold-symbols should be in my Unicode font with special symbols defined for this writing system, and the rest should be in its original font and encoding. Also, I would like this encoding to hold for display-purposes only. The data in the memory should remain unaffected. This also means real-time adjustments: if I open a text editor (say, from the OpenOffice Suite) and I start typing, I would like to see what I type encoded with my writing system, even though the document actually contains Latin letters. This also means that the symbol immediately before the cursor may change as you type.
I've got a (very) simple perl xinetd server that I'd like to port to C++. implement something similar using system() or popen() without success.

I have a process that forks, where the childs puts some data of random size and exits while the parent should get the data and does some manipulation.. here I have used a pipe for child to write the data and parent to read the data.. Child simply dumps the data, and the data is of any size even child and parent doesnt know.
I have used select in the parent to see whether there is any data coming on the reading end of the pipe.. if there is a data.. I copy into a buffer.. Im reading the data continusly when the child exits after closing the writing end of pipe. Parent gets blocked on the read part But my question is how parent know the other of pipe is closed when using the select call. In otherwords.. while using select in readfds, how would i know the other end has closed the pipe..
I am trying to figure out how i would go about finding out where system call is made and error checking is not done. I have code below, if somebody can point me in the right direction where system call is made but error checking is not done.Quote:

Anyone know the reason why a sleep( ) on a Redhat Linux OS would cause the system to indefinitely hang? It's doing this every 10 or so calls in my program and I have to press the reboot button on my computer. My program is reading from a UDP port that has messages sent to it 20 times per second. When I sleep I assume the internal UDP buffer is getting more and more filled.
View 14 Replies View Relatedi've written small tool in C which makes measurements on my router (OpenWrt White Russian).
It is working as a deamon. If the tool is started manually, everything works fine. If it is started per script on startup, the following system call doesn't work :
Code: sprintf(command,"/bin/cat /root/%s%s | /usr/bin/ssh -p2222 user(at)host -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa "/bin/cat >> result/%s%s"", apmac, source, apmac, dest);
rc = system (command); the returned rc in this case is 256.
first i thought it is a problems with the user rights for the tool, so i have added +s to it. but that didn't help. as i said, when the daemon is started by hand, the system call works fine.
I am making a library, but I am facing a strange problem while sending data over network using ethernet.
I am sending 39 bytes of the data from one server to slave application but some time slave receives 39 bytes and some time it receives 29 bytes. And when ever slave receives 29 bytes all the memories to which my pointers are pointing get changed. This problem is only when I am sending data from the server to slave, while sending data from slave to server I am facing no such issue.
I have a script for dd command and i am using it in an application using system() call. Now i want to have the output of the script file (i.e output of dd command) in the application file itself.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwe have a multi threaded program on Linux where one thread is waiting on poll() system call with event set to POLLIN, & another thread has closed the same socket fd (which is passed to poll) , but the poll() did not return, is this the expected behavior? From man page of poll we found that the poll should return POLLNVAL if the socket fd is closed, is my understanding correct or is there any bug in the poll()?In Solaris we observed that the poll system call is returning with POLLNVAL if the socket is closed.

Code:

In practice I have a script that call a java program that call a linux system command. The script if I run it, from a shell functions well,so it is not a java problem. The problem come out when i put this script in a crontab schedulation. The result in this case is that java do not execute the system command. I think it depends on crontab

and many ..
I tried working with linux-2.6.18.1 , 2.6.33.1 , 2.6.28.1 and many many.

I cannot find the syscall_table.S or entry.S file in the source code , so i didn't made the entry of the syscall in this file, how much necessary the entry of syscall presence in this list and how to get this file?
I am searching for any system call similar to "ls" command we use in shell. My requirement is knowing the files and directories in curent working directory and process them based on there type. Here as of now I spawn another procees with system command like system
("sh ls -l | grep ^d | awk '{print $9}'").
Instead of this I want to use any system command where I can capture this information directly into my local character buffer. My opinion is that system calls will not spawn another process as a result less time it takes, another reason is once I use the system command again I need to capture the information to a local file then again read it into local buffer. I want to avoid the file manipulation here.
I am trying to ptrace a process and when the system call is 'cd' change directory,
the ptrace process is able to trap it by comparing it against "__NR__open" system call. When I try to read the name of the directory from ebx register using peek_data I am getting ".message" and not the directory name.
The same thing works fine when I am tracing a file open system call.
I dont know whats wrong with my desktop....but it is not displaying folders and files in desktop after starting the system.The mouse right click is also not working.But the panels are working.
But once I browse files on my cell phone(using bluetooth) with my system,the desktop is working as usual.
I think I have to add some application( which loads desktop) to list of start-up applications.
