LFS_SEGCLEAN(2) BSD System Calls Manual LFS_SEGCLEAN(2)NAME
lfs_segclean -- mark a segment clean
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
int
lfs_segclean(fsid_t *fsidp, u_long segment);
DESCRIPTION
lfs_segclean() marks segment number segment in LFS filesystem *fsidp "clean" or available for writing.
RETURN VALUES
lfs_segclean() returns 0 on success, or -1 on error.
ERRORS
An error return from lfs_segclean() indicates:
[EFAULT] fsidp points outside the process's allocated address space.
[EINVAL] *fsidp does not specify a valid filesystem.
[EBUSY] segment is marked SU_ACTIVE, meaning that it does not yet belong to a valid checkpoint.

LFS_MARKV(2) BSD System Calls Manual LFS_MARKV(2)NAME
lfs_markv -- rewrite disk blocks to new disk locations
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <ufs/lfs/lfs.h>
int
lfs_markv(fsid_t *fsidp, BLOCK_INFO *blkiov, int blkcnt);
DESCRIPTION
lfs_markv() rewrites the blocks specified in blkiov to new disk locations, for the purposes of grouping them next to one another, or to move
them out of a segment to clean it. All fields of the BLOCK_INFO structure must be filled in, except for bi_segcreate. If bi_daddr is not
the correct current address for logical block bi_lbn of the file with inode number bi_inode, or if the file's version number does not match
bi_version, the block will not be written to disk, but no error will be returned.
The fsidp argument contains the id of the filesystem to which the inodes and blocks belong. The bi_bp field contains bi_size bytes of data
to be written into the appropriate block. If bi_lbn is specified as LFS_UNUSED_LBN, the inode itself will be rewritten.
The blkiov argument is an array of BLOCK_INFO structures (see below). The blkcnt argument determines the size of the blkiov array.
typedef struct block_info {
ino_t bi_inode; /* inode # */
ufs_daddr_t bi_lbn; /* logical block w/in file */
ufs_daddr_t bi_daddr; /* disk address of block */
time_t bi_segcreate; /* origin segment create time */
int bi_version; /* file version number */
void *bi_bp; /* data buffer */
int bi_size; /* size of the block (if fragment) */
} BLOCK_INFO;
RETURN VALUES
lfs_markv() returns 0 on success, or -1 on error.
ERRORS
An error return from lfs_markv() indicates:
[EFAULT] fsidp points outside the process's allocated address space.
[EINVAL] *fsidp does not specify a valid filesystem.
[EBUSY] One or more of the inodes whose blocks were to be written was locked, and its blocks were not rewritten.
SEE ALSO lfs_segclean(2), lfs_segwait(2), lfs_cleanerd(8)HISTORY
The lfs_markv() function call appeared in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
The functionality of lfs_markv() does not really belong in user space. Among other things it could be used to work around the SF_IMMUTABLE
and SF_APPEND file flags (see chflags(2)).

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:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm

9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

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)

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
