  2. Redirection (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirection_(computing)

    In computing, redirection is a form of interprocess communication, and is a function common to most command-line interpreters, including the various Unix shells that can redirect standard streams to user-specified locations. The concept of redirection is quite old, dating back to the earliest operating systems (OS).

  3. Name Service Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_Service_Switch

    Earlier Unix-like systems either accessed only local files or had hard-coded rules for accessing files or network-stored databases. Ultrix was a notable exception with its nearly identical functionality of the NSS configuration file in /etc/svc.conf. Sun Microsystems first developed the NSS for their Solaris operating system.

  4. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    There is no universal solution for the Year 2038 problem. For example, in the C language , any change to the definition of the time_t data type would result in code-compatibility problems in any application in which date and time representations are dependent on the nature of the signed 32-bit time_t integer.

  5. Folder redirection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folder_redirection

    Folder Redirection allows saving data regardless of storage location and separates user data from profile data decreasing the time required to log on. Other advantages include: [2] Data is stored on a server where it can be backed up; If the same redirection is applied to multiple users, all data is stored in the one location

  6. dup (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dup_(system_call)

    Unix shells use dup2 for input/output redirection. Along with pipe(), it is a tool on which Unix pipes rely. The following example uses pipe() and dup() in order to connect two separate processes (program1 and program2) using Unix pipes:

  7. Exit status - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_status

    In computing, the exit status (also exit code or exit value) of a terminated process is an integer number that is made available to its parent process (or caller). In DOS , this may be referred to as an errorlevel .

  8. History of software configuration management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_software...

    Practical lessons, over the years, had led to the definition, and establishment, of procedures and tools. Eventually, the tools became systems to manage software changes. [1] Industry-wide practices were offered as solutions, either in an open or proprietary manner (such as Revision Control System).

  9. Dangling pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_pointer

    Another solution would be to somehow guarantee dp is not used again without further initialization. Another frequent source of dangling pointers is a jumbled combination of malloc() and free() library calls: a pointer becomes dangling when the block of memory it points to is freed.
