anytooff(1gv)anytooff(1gv)NAME
anytooff - filter to convert a (set of) geomview data file(s) containing any geomview primitives into a single polylist.
SYNOPSIS
anytooff [filename ...]
DESCRIPTION
Anytooff reads OOGL geometry data (from the given files, if any, otherwise from standard input) and outputs the new polylist (in OFF for-
mat) to standard output. Offcombine is a synonym for anytooff.
BUGS
In converting a list object, anytooff uses PLCombine(3) to merge the members of the list. PLCombine(3) has certain limitations with regard
to the way in handles color and normal data; see its manual page for details.
When vector objects are switched into polylists, they are transformed into polygons with two vertices. The faces of the polygons are the
same color as the given vectors, but the edges of the polygons, which are their only visible aspect, have no color.

bdy(1gv)bdy(1gv)NAME
bdy - boundary curve finder
SYNOPSIS
bdy [precision]
DESCRIPTION
Bdy is a filter used to find boundary curves in Geomview objects. The program reads a geomview object from standard input and prints the
resultant vector object to standard output. Bdy finds the segments of the vector by first converting the given object into a polylist (See
anytooff(1)). Then, it finds all edges used once and only once in the polylist and combines these edges into a vector object. The
optional precision arguement specifies the maximum distance between vertices that are to be considered identical. By default, it is set to
0.0, indicating that the vertices must be numerically identical. It may sometimes be necessary to set it to a higher value to compensate
for floating-point error.
The vector object is always black.
BUGS
The vector object is not a particularly compact representation of itself, since it contains many 2-vertex segments which could be combined.

Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
