PFIFO_FAST(8) Linux PFIFO_FAST(8)NAME
pfifo_fast - three-band first in, first out queue
DESCRIPTION
pfifo_fast is the default qdisc of each interface.
Whenever an interface is created, the pfifo_fast qdisc is automatically used as a queue. If another qdisc is attached, it preempts the
default pfifo_fast, which automatically returns to function when an existing qdisc is detached.
In this sense this qdisc is magic, and unlike other qdiscs.
ALGORITHM
The algorithm is very similar to that of the classful tc-prio(8) qdisc. pfifo_fast is like three tc-pfifo(8) queues side by side, where
packets can be enqueued in any of the three bands based on their Type of Service bits or assigned priority.
Not all three bands are dequeued simultaneously - as long as lower bands have traffic, higher bands are never dequeued. This can be used to
prioritize interactive traffic or penalize 'lowest cost' traffic.
Each band can be txqueuelen packets long, as configured with ifconfig(8) or ip(8). Additional packets coming in are not enqueued but are
instead dropped.
See tc-prio(8) for complete details on how TOS bits are translated into bands.
PARAMETERS
txqueuelen
The length of the three bands depends on the interface txqueuelen, as specified with ifconfig(8) or ip(8).
BUGS
Does not maintain statistics and does not show up in tc qdisc ls. This is because it is the automatic default in the absence of a config-
ured qdisc.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
