Hi! I need to get PID of some particular process and I wonder if I can use pgrep tool for this purpose. The problem is that pgrep doesn't perform pattern matching on the whole command line, even if I use -f key. Parsing output of ps command is not quite convenient... Also deamon, which PID I need...

Hi,
I have a file abcd.txt which has contents in the form of full path file names i.e.
$home> vi abcd.txt
/a/b/c/r1.txt
/q/w/e/r2.txt

Now I want to retrieve only the directory path name for each row
i.e
/a/b/c/

Hi,
Is there a command that tells you right away the current working directory? I know the command "pwd", but that one gives the full path.
if pwd gives me:
/a/b/c/d/ggg/HERE
I want something that will give me:
HERE
Thanks,

devel::refcount
Devel::Refcount(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::Refcount(3pm)NAME
"Devel::Refcount" - obtain the REFCNT value of a referent
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::Refcount qw( refcount );
my $anon = [];
print "Anon ARRAY $anon has " . refcount($anon) . " reference
";
my $otherref = $anon;
print "Anon ARRAY $anon now has " . refcount($anon) . " references
";
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a single function which obtains the reference count of the object being pointed to by the passed reference value.
FUNCTIONS
$count = refcount($ref)
Returns the reference count of the object being pointed to by $ref.
COMPARISON WITH SvREFCNT
This function differs from "Devel::Peek::SvREFCNT" in that SvREFCNT() gives the reference count of the SV object itself that it is passed,
whereas refcount() gives the count of the object being pointed to. This allows it to give the count of any referent (i.e. ARRAY, HASH,
CODE, GLOB and Regexp types) as well.
Consider the following example program:
use Devel::Peek qw( SvREFCNT );
use Devel::Refcount qw( refcount );
sub printcount
{
my $name = shift;
printf "%30s has SvREFCNT=%d, refcount=%d
",
$name, SvREFCNT($_[0]), refcount($_[0]);
}
my $var = [];
printcount 'Initially, $var', $var;
my $othervar = $var;
printcount 'Before CODE ref, $var', $var;
printcount '$othervar', $othervar;
my $code = sub { undef $var };
printcount 'After CODE ref, $var', $var;
printcount '$othervar', $othervar;
This produces the output
Initially, $var has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=1
Before CODE ref, $var has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
$othervar has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
After CODE ref, $var has SvREFCNT=2, refcount=2
$othervar has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
Here, we see that SvREFCNT() counts the number of references to the SV object passed in as the scalar value - the $var or $othervar
respectively, whereas refcount() counts the number of reference values that point to the referent object - the anonymous ARRAY in this
case.
Before the CODE reference is constructed, both $var and $othervar have SvREFCNT() of 1, as they exist only in the current lexical pad. The
anonymous ARRAY has a refcount() of 2, because both $var and $othervar store a reference to it.
After the CODE reference is constructed, the $var variable now has an SvREFCNT() of 2, because it also appears in the lexical pad for the
new anonymous CODE block.
PURE-PERL FALLBACK
An XS implementation of this function is provided, and is used by default. If the XS library cannot be loaded, a fallback implementation in
pure perl using the "B" module is used instead. This will behave identically, but is much slower.
