That's a particularly awful way to do it since it will fail instantly, trying to open the file '10'. You'll have to cram everything into awk's BEGIN section, and exit at the end of it, so it doesn't try to open a file named 10. You'd do a while(getline<"/dev/stdin") loop. ARGV[3] would be the number of lines if your particular version of awk even has ARGV.

tail is not a "bash command", either. bash has some builtins and tail is not one of them. tail is an external utility that can be used with any shell or with no shell at all. It has nothing to do with bash whatsoever. This is an increasingly common and most vexing misconception because people keep trying to fix bash when the problem is not having installed the thing they're looking for in the first place Smilie

And of course that remains a useless use of cat. I've been wondering who keeps teaching this to people. Smilie

NAME
ausyscall - a program that allows mapping syscall names and numbers SYNOPSIS
ausyscall [arch] name | number | --dump | --exact DESCRIPTION
ausyscall is a program that prints out the mapping from syscall name to number and reverse for the given arch. The arch can be anything returned by `uname -m`. If arch is not given, the program will take a guess based on the running image. You may give the syscall name or number and it will find the opposite. You can also dump the whole table with the --dump option. By default a syscall name lookup will be a substring match meaning that it will try to match all occurances of the given name with syscalls. So giving a name of chown will match both fchown and chown as any other syscall with chown in its name. If this behavior is not desired, pass the --exact flag and it will do an exact string match. This program can be used to verify syscall numbers on a biarch platform for rule optimization. For example, suppose you had an auditctl rule: -a always, exit -S open -F exit=-EPERM -k fail-open If you wanted to verify that both 32 and 64 bit programs would be audited, run "ausyscall i386 open" and then "ausyscall x86_64 open". Look at the returned numbers. If they are different, you will have to write two auditctl rules to get complete coverage. -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F exit=-EPERM -k fail-open -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F exit=-EPERM -k fail-open OPTIONS
--dump Print all syscalls for the given arch --exact Instead of doing a partial word match, match the given syscall name exactly. SEE ALSO
