PFIFO_FAST(8) Linux PFIFO_FAST(8)NAME
pfifo_fast - three-band first in, first out queue
DESCRIPTION
pfifo_fast is the default qdisc of each interface.
Whenever an interface is created, the pfifo_fast qdisc is automatically used as a queue. If another qdisc is attached, it preempts the
default pfifo_fast, which automatically returns to function when an existing qdisc is detached.
In this sense this qdisc is magic, and unlike other qdiscs.
ALGORITHM
The algorithm is very similar to that of the classful tc-prio(8) qdisc. pfifo_fast is like three tc-pfifo(8) queues side by side, where
packets can be enqueued in any of the three bands based on their Type of Service bits or assigned priority.
Not all three bands are dequeued simultaneously - as long as lower bands have traffic, higher bands are never dequeued. This can be used to
prioritize interactive traffic or penalize 'lowest cost' traffic.
Each band can be txqueuelen packets long, as configured with ifconfig(8) or ip(8). Additional packets coming in are not enqueued but are
instead dropped.
See tc-prio(8) for complete details on how TOS bits are translated into bands.
PARAMETERS
txqueuelen
The length of the three bands depends on the interface txqueuelen, as specified with ifconfig(8) or ip(8).
BUGS
Does not maintain statistics and does not show up in tc qdisc ls. This is because it is the automatic default in the absence of a config-
ured qdisc.

Why do shell builtins like echo and pwd have binaries in /bin? When I do which pwd, I get the one in /bin. that means that I am not using the builtin version? What determines which one gets used? Is the which command a definitive way to determine what is being run when I enter pwd? (16 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)

Hi all,
I am learning POSIX shell programming, and the book I read, uses the let command for integer arithmetic.
I have downloaded and use the shellcheck program on Linux.
This programs says:
In POSIX sh, 'let' is undefined.
See the screenshot attached.

I don't know how to start this but here goes.
I've been "using" Linux for over 10 years, possibly more and I still feel like I'm nowhere

Hi all, (mainly Neo)...
I keep noticing that the SQRT code I wrote recently for a POSIX shell keeps appearing, (the green colour sticks out like a sore thumb).
So I decided to take a look on Google.
Guess what?
