Hex Conversion
I need to have my scripts import volume groups and mknod devices files. I have most of the script working but the device file needs to be in the format 0x??0000 (where the question marks are my HEX representations of the volume group number. I have the code below and the output it produces which would work great except anything that is only one charater will not work (I.E "1" needs to be "01", "a" needs to be "0a"). Any suggestions? And I can't use any perl code.
#!/bin/sh
for y in vg01 vg02 vg03 vg10 vg21 vg22 vg23
do
printf "%#x\n" $(echo ${y} | sed 's/^vg//') | sed 's/0x//'
done
Output:
1
2
3
a
15
16
17

mknod
mknod(1M) System Administration Commands mknod(1M)
NAME
mknod - make a special file
SYNOPSIS
mknod name b major minor
mknod name c major minor
mknod name p
DESCRIPTION
mknod makes a directory entry for a special file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
b Create a block-type special file.
c Create a character-type special file.
p Create a FIFO (named pipe).
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
major The major device number.
minor The minor device number; can be either decimal or octal. The assignment of major device numbers is specific to each system. You
must be the super-user to use this form of the command.
name A special file to be created.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mknod when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWcsu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
ftp(1), in.ftpd(1M), mknod(2), symlink(2), attributes(5), largefile(5)
NOTES
If mknod(2) is used to create a device, the major and minor device numbers are always interpreted by the kernel running on that machine.
With the advent of physical device naming, it would be preferable to create a symbolic link to the physical name of the device (in the
/devices subtree) rather than using mknod.
