Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Purpose of "read" and "$END$" in ksh ? Post 302535675 by DGPickett on Friday 1st of July 2011 11:17:31 AM

"echo 1 2| read a b c" means a=1, b=2, c=, garbage in is garbage out.

It is just a string, a token made up by the author. I use <<!, if I use it at all, as it takes less space and works fine. Must be exactly and only on a line by itself. Nice to keep lists one item a line for easy maintenance and viewing, not "a b ccc ddd ee ff ggg". You deserve neat, clean, clear code.

BTRFS-IMAGE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    BTRFS-IMAGE(8)

NAME
btrfs-image - create/restore an image of the filesystem SYNOPSIS
btrfs-image [options] source target DESCRIPTION
btrfs-image is used to create an image of a btrfs filesystem. All data will be zeroed, but metadata and the like is preserved. source is the special file corresponding to the device containing a btrfs filesystem. (e.g /dev/sdXX). target is the image file that btrfs-image creates. When used with -r option, btrfs-image restores the image file from source into target. OPTIONS
-r restore metadump image. -c value compression level (0 ~ 9). -t value number of threads (1 ~ 32) to be used to process the image dump or restore. -o use the old restore method, this does not fixup the chunk tree so the restored file system will not be able to be mounted. -s Sanitize the file names when generating the image. One -s means just generate random garbage, which means that the directory indexes won't match up since the hashes won't match with the garbage filenames. Using -ss will calculate a collision for the filename so that the hashes match, and if it can't calculate a collision then it will just generate garbage. The collision calculator is very time and CPU intensive so only use it if you are having problems with your file system tree and need to have it mostly working. -w Walk all the trees manually and copy any blocks that are referenced. Use this option if your extent tree is corrupted to make sure that all of the metadata is captured. AVAILABILITY
btrfs-image is part of btrfs-progs. Btrfs is currently under heavy development, and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review. Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for further details. SEE ALSO
