Brent, Each executable is limited to a specific default size by the OS. When you dlopen() a library your executable's memory requirements increase by the size of the library. I think your program is running out of memory. This max size per executable can be increased by the executable. In...

getdents() offers a relative fast solution. otherwise you can try something like fopen("my_filename","r") if it succeeds my_filename is present,otherwise it is not. To make the code even faster you can use the stat() system call. cheers amit crazy_indian@lycos.com to...

If you are using a UNIX clone you cna use signal handling to create a timer. One way is to use the alarm() call. The alarm() system call instructs the alarm clock of the calling process to send the signal SIGALRM to the calling process after the number of real time seconds specified by sec...

You can also refer to the streamio man page. If your OS doesnt have one you can read it from http://www.cs.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/man2html?streamio:7I cheers amit crazy_indian@lycos.com to bug is human to debug devine

Tyler, Try out something like this export str="1" export filename="xx" echo $str "is value of string" echo $filename "is value of filename" grep $str $filename The script set the value of variables str and filename, you can replace it with your own...

Cool find Ed,I kept searching for the same solution but I wasn't able to find out how to print the line number, I tried the ed command but I coudn't make it work. A star for you. How about pr -n -t data.file|sort -k 3 | sed s/^[0-9]* /""/g (Not tested) We can remove the -k 1 for some...

I dont think you are missing any trick,you have to go the hard way. You have to write your own sorting finction which uses the second parameter i.e. A,A,B,B,D etc as primary keys and the linenumber of each of them as the secondary key. amit crazy_indian@lycos.com to bug is human to debug...

The count of the number of files can be written to a flat file by redirecting the output of the wc -l command i.e something like wc -l >/mydir_my_filename amit crazy_indian@lycos.com to bug is human to debug devine

We have to free the memory allocated to name seprately with a free(e->e_name) But we have to ensure we call this free before we call the free(e) amit crazy_indian@lycos.com to bug is human to debug devine

Anjanku, I would say that you should be a little bit carefull about the return values of sytem calls in Linux. Linux is currently not compliant with the standards and its errno policy is quite different from traditional UNIXes. The best way is to read the man pages. And yeah echo $? will give...

dchoulette's description is accurate. If you want to see some more examples open the /usr/include/stdio.h file. And check out the definitions of file operations.printfs etc. e.g.(from stdio.h) extern FILE *fopen(const char *, const char *); extern FILE *freopen(const char *, const char...

The above script looks conceptually correct. It could be optimised by moving the file(mv) rather than copying the file(cp) Mountainbiker, Are the other files index.html etc in a different directory structure ? According to the above script if you have two index.html in two differnt...

Check if your library has the itoa() function. If it doesnt you will have to write your own version or download it from the web. cheers amit crazy_indian@lycos.com to bug is human to debug devine

This should be an easy task. The code would look something like this... main() { char *buffer[LINE_MAX]; FILE *fp_r,*fp_w; fp_r=fopen("filename","r"); fp_w=fopen("destination","w"); while ( fgets(fp_r,LINE_MAX,buffer) != NULL) { if(...

There is a hack that you can probably use. This is very hardware and compiler specific so the code wont be portable. And it will work only if the pointer has not been moved around. Hack malloc() normally stores the size of the allocation one word before the start of the array. i.e if malloc()...

Delorie is technically not a compiler. It is a development system/environment which uses the underlying gcc compiler to compile your source code. You can safely assume that cc and gcc are the same thing. cc is the traditional C compiler on UNIX machines. The GNU C compiler(which you are using)...

You have to really debug your code and see what the varaiable 'array' is assigned at the time of doing the malloc(), and check the value at the time of free(). If they are the same then you are most probably doing a double-free. If they are different then your variable has been corrupted by the...

Jolesen pointed out a good fact,the speed of the build.As he said you dont have to rebuild the files that haven't been modified. In addition many compilers allow different files to be build in parallel,i.e it will create different processes to build different object files and when they are all...
