code that reads commands from the standard i/p and executes the commands
Hello all,
i've written a small piece of code that will read commands from standard input and executes the commands.
Its working fine and is execting the commands well. Accepting arguments too. e.g
#mkdir <name of the directory>
The problem is that its not letting me change the directory i.e pwd is remaining the same.
what changes should be made in it to let it change the directories too.
Can anyone tell me how/where to get the source code for the unix commands like "ls ,finger,cp....etc" commands . I
have tried very hard but failed so far.
Thanks

just curious -- I was wondering if it's possible to open the file for a command and look at the code (say for the command more). I've just read about the PATH variable and the type command to find out where the file is, but when I tried to open the file, the terminal exited and logged me out.

Hi:
I have a requirement as below:
I have some standard Unix commands modified and kept them in a directory say /usr/clsh/bin. For example I have a script named "ls" kept here which is modified version of "ls" (say it always gives long listing i.e. ls -l).
When any user logs on and types... (2 Replies)

Hi all,
I'm new in this forum.
I'm looking for the difference between the HACMP commands with the prefix "cl" and "cli".

setbuf
setbuf(3s)setbuf(3s)Name
setbuf, setbuffer, setlinebuf, setvbuf - assign buffering to a stream
Syntax
#include <stdio.h>
void setbuf(stream, buf)
FILE *stream;
char *buf;
void setbuffer(stream, buf, size)
FILE *stream;
char *buf;
int size;
void setlinebuf(stream)
FILE *stream;
int setvbuf(stream, buf, type, size)
FILE *stream;
char *buf;
int type; size_t size;
Description
The three types of buffering available are unbuffered, block buffered, and line buffered. When an output stream is unbuffered, information
appears on the destination file or terminal as soon as written; when it is block buffered many characters are saved up and written as a
block; when it is line buffered characters are saved up until a new line is encountered or input is read from stdin. The routine may be
used to force the block out early. Normally all files are block buffered. For further information, see A buffer is obtained from upon the
first or on the file. If the standard stream stdout refers to a terminal it is line buffered. The standard stream stderr is always
unbuffered.
The routine is used after a stream has been opened but before it is read or written. The character array buf is used instead of an auto-
matically allocated buffer. If buf is the constant pointer NULL, input/output will be completely unbuffered. A manifest constant BUFSIZ
tells how big an array is needed:
char buf[BUFSIZ];
The routine, an alternate form of is used after a stream has been opened but before it is read or written. The character array buf whose
size is determined by the size argument is used instead of an automatically allocated buffer. If buf is the constant pointer NULL,
input/output will be completely unbuffered.
The routine is used to change stdout or stderr from block buffered or unbuffered to line buffered. Unlike and it can be used at any time
that the file descriptor is active.
The routine may be used after a stream has been opened but before it is read or written. Type determines how stream will be buffered.
Legal values for type, defined in stdio.h are:
_IOFBF causes input/output to be fully buffered.
_IOLBF causes output to be line buffered; the buffer will be flushed when a new line is written, the buffer is full, or input is
requested.
_IONBF causes input/output to be completely unbuffered.
If buf is not the NULL pointer, the array it points to will be used for buffering, instead of an automatically allocated buffer. The size
specifies the size of the buffer to be used. The constant BUFSIZ in <stdio.h> is suggested as a good buffer size. If input/output is
unbuffered, buf and size are ignored.
By default, output to a terminal is line buffered and all other input/output is fully buffered.
A file can be changed from unbuffered or line buffered to block buffered by using For further information, see A file can be changed from
block buffered or line buffered to unbuffered by using followed by with a buffer argument of NULL.
Restrictions
The standard error stream should be line buffered by default.
The and functions are not portable to non 4.2 BSD versions of UNIX.
