Hi, I am trying to understand the role of buffer cache in block I/O. I am monitoring /proc/meminfo, my question is does the value of 0 for 'buffers', mean that any subsequent disk read issued by a process, would get the data physically from the disk, and not an allocated buffer for the block? ...

kswitch

KSWITCH(1)						      General Commands Manual							KSWITCH(1)

NAME

       kswitch - switch primary credential cache

SYNOPSIS

       kswitch {-c cachename | -p principal}

DESCRIPTION

       kswitch makes the specified credential cache the primary cache for the collection, if a cache collection is available.

OPTIONS

       -c     cachename directly specifies the credential cache to be made primary.

       -p     principal  causes  the cache collection to be searched for a cache containing credentials for principal.	If one is found, that col-
	      lection is made primary.

ENVIRONMENT

       kswitch uses the following environment variables:

       KRB5CCNAME      Location of the default Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache, in the form type:residual.  If no type  prefix  is  present,
		       the  FILE  type	is  assumed.   The  type  of  the  default cache may determine the availability of a cache collection; for
		       instance, a default cache of type DIR causes caches within the directory to be present in the collection.

FILES

       /tmp/krb5cc_[uid]  default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user).
