EV(1) General Commands Manual EV(1)NAME
ev - evaluate expressions
SYNOPSIS
ev 'expr' ..
DESCRIPTION
Ev evaluates expressions given on the command line, and sends the results to the standard output, one per line. An expression contains
real numbers, function calls, and the following operators:
+ - * / ^
Operators are evaluated left to right, except '^', which is right associative. Powers have the highest precedence; multiplication and
division are evaluated before addition and subtraction. Expressions can be grouped with parentheses. All values are double precision
real.
The following library of functions is available:
if(cond, then, else)
if cond is greater than zero, then is evaluated, otherwise else is evaluated.
select(N, a1, a2, ..)
return aN (N is rounded to the nearest integer). If N is zero, the number of available arguments is returned.
rand(x) compute a random number between 0 and 1 based on x.
floor(x) return largest integer not greater than x.
ceil(x) return smallest integer not less than x.
sqrt(x) return square root of x.
exp(x) compute e to the power of x (e approx = 2.718281828).
log(x) compute the logarithm of x to the base e.
log10(x) compute the logarithm of x to the base 10.
sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)
trigonometric functions.
asin(x), acos(x), atan(x)
inverse trigonometric functions.
atan2(y, x)
inverse tangent of y/x (range -pi to pi).
EXAMPLE
To pass the square root of two and the sine of .5 to a program:
program `ev 'sqrt(2)' 'sin(.5)'`

Hi,
I am trying to write zeroes to the hdd using a c program. I don't want to use the dd or ddrescue or any such inbuilt program because of reasons like real time progress, writing custom patterns. (my program is more like an erasure application, but does only zero fill).
here are the steps... (35 Replies)
Hey guy's,
How can I schedule this script using AWK, what I require is it runs every minute as new data will be added to the file? And I need to capture these data and save it to the output file.
I tried using sleep 1 to allow the file to be processed but is not working.

Hey,
Now that I'm caught-up on a number of forum tasks, I can turn my attention to the next-generation UserCP (and learn VueJS) for the site.
Today I created this (not yet functional) demo using Vue;

I was looking through the topics and I wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this question:
I was wondering, out of curiosity, which software everyone was using to code their scripts in. I do mostly sh/ksh and my favorite has always been EditPlus because it is small, fast, yet powerful.... (409 Replies)
