Is this a homework assignment?
There are a lot of inconsistencies in the statements in your last post and you didn't answer most of my questions. Let me try once more:
- What is the function prototype for your function?
- What do you want your function to return (an integer or a string)? Your example said it should return "78" (which is a string), but you said you could use atoi() which returns an int???
- If you want your function to return one value, why are you passing it more than one string?
- What errors do you want to detect?
- How do you want to report errors? (Special return values, changing errno, diagnostics printed to stderr, ...)
- Have you read the man page for atoi()? If you have, why is the ".text" a concern?

Hi,
If I want to copy a 1024 byte data stream in to the target location in 3-bytes chunk, I guess I can use the following script.
dd bs=1024 count=3 if=/src of=/dest
But, I would like to know, how to do it via a C program. I have tried this with memcpy(), that did not help. (3 Replies)

10. What is on Your Mind?
A byte is the smallest unit of storage which can be accessed in a computer's memory- either in RAM or ROM.It also holds exactly 8 bits.But its old view one byte was sufficient to hold one 8 bit character.Modern days especially on .NET or international versions of Win 32, 16 bits is needed.

updaters(4) File Formats updaters(4)
NAME
updaters - configuration file for NIS updating
SYNOPSIS
/var/yp/updaters
DESCRIPTION
The file /var/yp/updaters is a makefile (see make(1S)) which is used for updating the Network Information Service (NIS) databases. Data-
bases can only be updated in a secure network, that is, one that has a publickey(4) database. Each entry in the file is a make target for a
particular NIS database. For example, if there is an NIS database named passwd.byname that can be updated, there should be a make target
named passwd.byname in the updaters file with the command to update the file.
The information necessary to make the update is passed to the update command through standard input. The information passed is described
below (all items are followed by a NEWLINE except for 4 and 6):
1. Network name of client wishing to make the update (a string).
2. Kind of update (an integer).
3. Number of bytes in key (an integer).
4. Actual bytes of key.
5. Number of bytes in data (an integer).
6. Actual bytes of data.
After receiving this information through standard input, the command to update the particular database determines whether the user is
allowed to make the change. If not, it exits with the status YPERR_ACCESS. If the user is allowed to make the change, the command makes
the change and exits with a status of zero. If there are any errors that may prevent the updaters from making the change, it should exit
with the status that matches a valid NIS error code described in <rpcsvc/ypclnt.h>.
FILES
/var/yp/updaters The makefile used for updating the NIS databases.

NOTES
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the
name has changed. The name Yellow Pages is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom of British Telecommunications plc, and may not be
