getrbuf - get a raw buffer header
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/buf.h>
#include <sys/kmem.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
struct buf *getrbuf(int sleepflag);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
sleepflag Indicates whether driver should sleep for free space.
DESCRIPTION
The getrbuf() function allocates the space for a buffer header to the caller. It is used in cases where a block driver is performing raw
(character interface) I/O and needs to set up a buffer header that is not associated with the buffer cache.
The getrbuf() function calls kmem_alloc(9F) to perform the memory allocation. kmem_alloc()requires the information included in the sleep-
flag argument. If sleepflag is set to KM_SLEEP, the driver may sleep until the space is freed up. If sleepflag is set to KM_NOSLEEP, the
driver will not sleep. In either case, a pointer to the allocated space is returned or NULL to indicate that no space was available.
RETURN VALUES
The getrbuf() function returns a pointer to the allocated buffer header, or NULL if no space is available.
CONTEXT
The getrbuf() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context. (Drivers must not allow getrbuf() to sleep if called from an
interrupt routine.)

First question is how do you learn UNIX on a home lab. I understand that HP-UX isn't free and neither is SCO Unix and they don't run on x86 based systems anyways. The choices I believe are going to be OpenSolaris and FreeBSD. My question is UNIX commands the same across the board so if I learn... (11 Replies)

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
