MEM(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual MEM(4)NAME
mem, kmem - core memory
DESCRIPTION
Mem is a special file that is an image of the core memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine, and even to patch the
system. Kmem is the same as mem except that kernel virtual memory rather than physical memory is accessed.
Byte addresses are interpreted as memory addresses. References to non-existent locations return errors.
Examining and patching device registers is likely to lead to unexpected results when read-only or write-only bits are present.
On PDP11's, the I/O page begins at location 0160000 of kmem and per-process data for the current process begins at 0140000.
FILES
/dev/mem, /dev/kmem
BUGS
On PDP11's, memory files are accessed one byte at a time, an inapproriate method for some device registers.

mem, kmem, port - system memory, kernel memory and system ports
DESCRIPTION
mem is a character device file that is an image of the main memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine (and even
patch) the system.
Byte addresses in mem are interpreted as physical memory addresses. References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned.
Examining and patching is likely to lead to unexpected results when read-only or write-only bits are present.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/mem c 1 1
chown root:kmem /dev/mem
The file kmem is the same as mem, except that the kernel virtual memory rather than physical memory is accessed.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 640 /dev/kmem c 1 2
chown root:kmem /dev/kmem
port is similar to mem, but the I/O ports are accessed.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/port c 1 4
chown root:mem /dev/port
FILES
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/port

Seq_merged=ACGTGCCCCCGTGTGTGTFunction strcat(char *dest, char *src) appends the src string to the dest string, ignoring the overlapped parts (prefix of src and suffix of dest).... (30 Replies)
Hey,
I moved the user information in the top right on the navbar to side panel and replace it with a clickable avatar image. If you have an avatar, you will see your avatar and if you don't you will see some default one (will change it to something better later).
If you have any notification... (53 Replies)

Dear All,
We are now beta testing our future "Live Chat" area using PubNub technology.
https://community.unix.com/
This purpose of this testing is to test the core system, in general, and to see how many, if any, bugs crawl out of the woodwork.
This "Live Chat" is not the... (48 Replies)
Only a few days after I coded this new feature from scratch, we are seeing over 3000 entries in the database from members (mostly guests) playing CS trivia.
I have spend a lot of time coding this (from scratch) and testing the API. From the logs, it seems to have an API bug which appears... (31 Replies)
