  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. 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:

  4. 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 .

  5. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time—the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970)—and store it in a signed 32-bit integer. The data type is only capable of representing integers between −(2 31 ) and 2 31 − 1 , meaning the latest time that can be properly encoded is 2 31 − 1 ...

  6. Signal (IPC) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(IPC)

    In practice, this kind of signal is rarely encountered since applications rely on libraries (e.g. libc) to make the call for them. SIGSYS can be received by applications violating the Linux Seccomp security rules configured to restrict them. SIGSYS can also be used to emulate foreign system calls, e.g. emulate Windows system calls on Linux.

    A Commentary on the Sixth Edition UNIX Operating System by John Lions (later reissued as Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition [1] [2] and commonly referred to as the Lions Book) is a highly influential [3] 1976 publication containing analytical commentary on the source code of the 6th Edition Unix computer operating system "resident nucleus" [4] (i.e., kernel) software, plus copy formatted ...

  8. Runbook - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runbook

    Runbook automation (RBA) [8] is the ability to define, build, orchestrate, manage, and report on workflows that support system and network operational processes. Areas of a business ideal for IT automation are Operations Teams, Service Desk, Network Operations Center's (NOC's), Cloud Operations, Integrations, and Automation Center of Excellence (CoE).

  9. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    So early versions of Unix used the relocatable memory reference model. [7] Pre-Sixth Edition Unix versions read an executable file into memory and jumped to the first low memory address of the program, relative address zero. With the development of paged versions of Unix, a header was created to describe the executable image components.
