DKSCAN_BSDLABEL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual DKSCAN_BSDLABEL(8)NAME
dkscan_bsdlabel -- program to create wedges from a BSD disklabel
SYNOPSIS
dkscan_bsdlabel [-nv] device
DESCRIPTION
dkscan_bsdlabel scans a disk for a BSD disklabel, which does not need to be the label variant used on the architecture currently running, or
even the same endianess.
The following options are supported:
-n No execution - list the wedges, but do not create them.
-v Be more verbose - print additional information.
The argument device specifices the disk on which the disklabel is scanned and to which the wedges are added.
EXAMPLES
dkscan_bsdlabel -v wd1
Create wedges from all recognized partitions on wd1
SEE ALSO dk(4), disklabel(5), dkctl(8)HISTORY
The dkscan_bsdlabel command first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
AUTHORS
Martin Huseman wrote the dkscan_bsdlabel utility. It is reusing a lot of kernel code written by Jason R. Thorpe.

NEWFS_SYSVBFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWFS_SYSVBFS(8)NAME
newfs_sysvbfs -- construct a new System V Boot File System
SYNOPSIS
newfs_sysvbfs [-FZ] [-s sectors] special
DESCRIPTION
newfs_sysvbfs builds a System V boot file system on the specified special. If it is a device, the size information will be taken from the
disk label and before running newfs_sysvbfs the disk must be labeled using disklabel(8); the proper fstype is ``SysVBFS''. Otherwise, the
size must be specified on the command line.
The following arguments are supported:
-F Create file system to a regular file.
-s sectors Create file system with specified number of disk sectors.
-Z Fill file with zeroes instead of creating a sparse file.
SEE ALSO disklabel(5), disktab(5), disklabel(8), diskpart(8)HISTORY
A newfs_sysvbfs command first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
BUGS
The sysvbfs support is still experimental and there are few sanity checks.

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:

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)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

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.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
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 ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
