X bytes of 0, Y bytes of random data, Z bytes of 5, T bytes of 1. ??
Hello guys. I really hope someone will help me with this one..
So, I have to write this script who:
- creates a file home/student/vmdisk of 10 mb
- formats that file to ext3
- mounts that partition to /mnt/partition
- creates a file /mnt/partition/data. In this file, there will be:
- X bytes of 0
- Y bytes of random data
- Z bytes of 1
- T bytes of 5
So, totally, the file's size, /mnt/partition/data will be X+Y+Z+T, where X,Y,Z,Y are parameters.
The big problem is with the XZTY bytes. I dont know how to make a file with X bytes of 0, Y bytes of random data, and so on.. Also how can I make a file ext3?

Hi,
If I want to copy a 1024 byte data stream in to the target location in 3-bytes chunk, I guess I can use the following script.

But, I would like to know, how to do it via a C program. I have tried this with memcpy(), that did not help. (3 Replies)

9. What is on Your Mind?
A byte is the smallest unit of storage which can be accessed in a computer's memory- either in RAM or ROM.It also holds exactly 8 bits.But its old view one byte was sufficient to hold one 8 bit character.Modern days especially on .NET or international versions of Win 32, 16 bits is needed.

SYNOPSIS
fntsample [ OPTIONS ] -f FONT-FILE -o OUTPUT-FILE

DESCRIPTION
fntsample program can be used to generate font samples that show Unicode coverage of the font and are similar in appearance to Unicode
charts. Samples can be saved into PDF (default) or PostScript file.
OPTIONS
fntsample supports the following options.
--font-file, -f FONT-FILE
Make samples of FONT-FILE.
--font-index, -n IDX
Font index for FONT-FILE specified using --font-file option. Useful for files that contain multiple fonts, like TrueType Collec-
tions (.ttc). By default font with index 0 is used.
--output-file, -o OUTPUT-FILE
Write output to OUTPUT-FILE.
--other-font-file, -d OTHER-FONT
Compare FONT-FILE with OTHER-FONT. Glyphs added to FONT-FILE will be highlighted.
--other-index, -m IDX
Font index for OTHER-FONT specified using --other-font-file option.
--postscript-output, -s
Use PostScript format for output instead of PDF.
--svg, -g
Use SVG format for output. The generated document contains one page. Use range selection options to specify which.
--print-outline, -l
Print document outlines data to standard output. This data can be used to add outlines (aka bookmarks) to resulting PDF file with
pdfoutline program.
--include-range, -i RANGE
Show characters in RANGE.
--exclude-range, -x RANGE

Parameter RANGE for -i and -x can be given as one integer or a pair of integers delimited by minus sign (-). Integers can be specified in
decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or octal (0...) format. One integer of a pair can be missing (-N can be used to specify all characters with
codes less or equal to N, and N- for all characters with codes greather or equal to N). Multiple -i and -x options can be used.
EXAMPLES
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and write them to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PDF samples for font.ttf, compare it with oldfont.ttf and highlight new glyphs. Write output to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -d oldfont.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PostScript samples for font.ttf and write output to file samples.ps. Show only glyphs for characters with codes less or equal to
U+04FF but exclude U+0370-U+03FF:
fntsample -f font.ttf -s -o samples.ps -i -0x04FF -x 0x0370-0x03FF
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and save output to file samples.pdf adding outlines to it:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o temp.pdf -l > outlines.txt
pdfoutline temp.pdf outlines.txt samples.pdf
