SH Script for file name wildcards
Does anyone know how I would go about inserting text at the beginning of a file with the file name containing a daily time stamp? Essentially I need to find the file name using a wild card, and then insert 3 lines of text - one of which is the processing date. Help please!?

I have four files:

I have this simple script:

Why does ./the_script.sh test* only list the first file, when a normal ls test* would list all four? What do I need to change in the script to be able to use wildcard? (12 Replies)

pcap_free_tstamp_types
PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3PCAP) PCAP_LIST_TSTAMP_TYPES(3PCAP)
NAME
pcap_list_tstamp_types, pcap_free_tstamp_types - get a list of time stamp types supported by a capture device, and free that list
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcap/pcap.h>
int pcap_list_tstamp_types(pcap_t *p, int **tstamp_typesp);
void pcap_free_tstamp_types(int *tstamp_types);
DESCRIPTION
pcap_list_tstamp_types() is used to get a list of the supported time stamp types of the interface associated with the pcap descriptor.
pcap_list_tstamp_types() allocates an array to hold the list and sets *tstamp_typesp to point to the array. See pcap-tstamp(7) for a list
of all the time stamp types.
The caller is responsible for freeing the array with pcap_free_tstamp_types(), which frees the list pointed to by tstamp_types.
RETURN VALUE
pcap_list_tstamp_types() returns the number of time stamp types in the array on success and PCAP_ERROR on failure. A return value of zero
means that you cannot specify a time stamp type; you are limited to the capture device's default time stamp type. If PCAP_ERROR is
returned, pcap_geterr() or pcap_perror() may be called with p as an argument to fetch or display the error text.
