If at this point, CPU 2 issues a test-and-set to memory location A, the DPRAM detects the special flag value, and as in Variation 1, issues a BUSY interrupt. Whether or not CPU 2 was trying to access the memory location, the DPRAM now performs CPU 1's test. If the test succeeds, the DPRAM sets memory location A to the value specified by CPU 1.
The domain was also expanded from only program names on the Berkeley system to both program names and files on Tenex. [1] The Tenex descendant TOPS-20 moved command line completion from command interpreter to the operating system via the COMND JSYS system call, to make it available to other user applications. [2] From there it was borrowed by Unix.
Bash can execute the vast majority of Bourne shell scripts without modification, with the exception of Bourne shell scripts stumbling into fringe syntax behavior interpreted differently in Bash or attempting to run a system command matching a newer Bash builtin, etc. Bash command syntax includes ideas drawn from the Korn Shell (ksh) and the C ...
Most keyboard shortcuts require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after the other. Other keyboard shortcuts require pressing and holding several keys simultaneously (indicated in the tables below by the + sign). Keyboard shortcuts may depend on the keyboard layout.
This command can be useful where part of a script can execute in parallel to implement a barrier where an upcoming section depends on the successful completion of the preceding sections. The following example will fetch the src/ directory from a machine named iona using rsync and simultaneously update the libraries on which this program depends ...
Support for command history means that a user can recall a previous command into the command-line editor and edit it before issuing the potentially modified command. Shells that support completion may also be able to directly complete the command from the command history given a partial/initial part of the previous command.
The repeat statement repetitively executes a block of one or more statements through an until statement and continues repeating unless the condition is false. The main difference between the two is the while loop may execute zero times if the condition is initially false, the repeat-until loop always executes at least once.
