PCCARD(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual PCCARD(4)NAME
pccard -- PC Card bus driver
SYNOPSIS
device pccard
DESCRIPTION
The pccard driver implements the PC Card bus. The pccard driver supports all PC Card bridges in the system.
TUNABLES
The driver supports the following tunable parameters, which may be added to /boot/loader.conf or set via the sysctl(8) command:
hw.pccard.debug Non-zero values cause more verbose information to be printed when a 16-bit PC Card is inserted or removed.
hw.pccard.cis_debug Non-zero value causes the CIS parsing of the 16-bit PC Card to be much more verbose and include a complete CIS dump.
FILES
/dev/pccard0.cis This exclusive-use device will report all the CIS chains present in a PC Card, if a 16-bit PC Card is inserted in the slot.
Only one user at a time may access the CIS. The CIS is presented as the relevant byte stream from the PC Card. For CIS
tuples in Attribute Memory (the default), only the even locations are presented (the ODD locations are undefined per the
standard). For CIS tuples in Common Memory, every byte is presented to the user. Decoding of the CIS tuples is done via a
userland program. All tuples are presented to the user.

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)
