Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The major new facilities available in the 4.4BSD release are
|
|
|
|
|
|
a new virtual memory system,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the addition of ISO/OSI networking support,
|
|
|
|
|
|
a new virtual filesystem interface supporting filesystem stacking,
|
|
|
|
|
|
a freely redistributable implementation of NFS,
|
|
|
|
|
|
a log-structured filesystem,
|
|
|
|
|
|
enhancement of the local filesystems to support
|
|
|
|
|
|
files and filesystems that are up to 2^63 bytes in size,
|
|
|
|
|
|
enhanced security and system management support,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the conversion to and addition of the IEEE Std1003.1 (``POSIX'')
|
|
|
|
|
|
facilities and many of the IEEE Std1003.2 facilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, many new utilities and additions have been made to the C-library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel sources have been reorganized to collect all machine-dependent
|
|
|
|
|
|
files for each architecture under one directory,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and most of the machine-independent code is now free of code
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditional on specific machines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The user structure and process structure have been reorganized
|
|
|
|
|
|
to eliminate the statically-mapped user structure and to make most
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the process resources shareable by multiple processes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system and include files have been converted to be compatible
|
|
|
|
|
|
with ANSI C, including function prototypes for most of the exported
|
|
|
|
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are numerous other changes throughout the system.

Changes in the Kernel
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release includes several important structural kernel changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel uses a new internal system call convention;
|
|
|
|
|
|
the use of global (``u-dot'') variables for parameters and error returns
|
|
|
|
|
|
has been eliminated,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and interrupted system calls no longer abort using non-local goto's (longjmp's).
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new sleep interface separates signal handling from scheduling priority,
|
|
|
|
|
|
returning characteristic errors to abort or restart the current system call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This sleep call also passes a string describing the process state,
|
|
|
|
|
|
which is used by the ps(1) program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The old sleep interface can be used only for non-interruptible sleeps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many data structures that were previously statically allocated
|
|
|
|
|
|
are now allocated dynamically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These structures include mount entries, file entries,
|
|
|
|
|
|
user open file descriptors, the process entries, the vnode table,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the name cache, and the quota structures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 4.4BSD distribution adds support for several new architectures including
|
|
|
|
|
|
SPARC-based Sparcstations 1 and 2,
|
|
|
|
|
|
MIPS-based Decstation 3100 and 5000 and Sony NEWS,
|
|

their system calls.

Though this native operating system compatibility was provided by the

developers as needed for their purposes and is by no means complete,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it is complete enough to run several non-trivial applications including
|
|
|
|
|
|
those that require HP-UX or SunOS shared libraries.

For example, the vendor supplied X11 server and windowing environment

can be used on both the HP300 and SPARC.

Virtual memory changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new virtual memory implementation is derived from the MACH
|
|
|
|
|
|
operating system developed at Carnegie-Mellon,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and was ported to the BSD kernel at the University of Utah.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The MACH virtual memory system call interface has been replaced with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
``mmap''-based interface described in the ``Berkeley Software
|
|
|
|
|
|
Architecture Manual''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interface is similar to the interfaces shipped
|
|
|
|
|
|
by several commercial vendors such as Sun, USL, and Convex Computer Corp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The integration of the new virtual memory is functionally complete,
|
|
|
|
|
|
but, like most MACH-based virtual memory systems,
|
|
|
|
|
|
still has serious performance problems under heavy memory load.

Additions and changes to filesystems
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 4.4BSD distribution contains most of the interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
specified in the IEEE Std1003.1 system interface standard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filesystem additions include IEEE Std1003.1 FIFOs,
|
|
|
|
|
|
byte-range file locking, and saved user and group identifiers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new virtual filesystem interface has been added to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
kernel to support multiple filesystems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In comparison with other interfaces,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Berkeley interface has been structured for more efficient support
|
|
|
|
|
|
of filesystems that maintain state (such as the local filesystem).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interface has been extended with support for stackable
|
|
|
|
|
|
filesystems done at UCLA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These extensions allow for filesystems to be layered on top of each
|
|
|
|
|
|
other and allow new vnode operations to be added without requiring
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes to existing filesystem implementations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the umap filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
|
is used to mount a sub-tree of an existing filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
|
that uses a different set of uids and gids than the local system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Such a filesystem could be mounted from a remote site via NFS or it
|
|
|
|
|
|
could be a filesystem on removable media brought from some foreign
|
|
|
|
|
|
location that uses a different password file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to the local ``fast filesystem'',
|
|
|
|
|
|
we have added an implementation of the network filesystem (NFS)
|
|
|
|
|
|
that fully interoperates with the NFS shipped by Sun and its licensees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because our NFS implementation was implemented using only the
|
|
|
|
|
|
publicly available NFS specification,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it does not require a license from Sun to use in source or binary form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default it runs over UDP to be compatible with Sun's implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, it can be configured on a per-mount basis to run over TCP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using TCP allows it to be used quickly and efficiently through
|
|
|
|
|
|
gateways and over long-haul networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using an extended protocol, it supports Leases to allow a limited
|
|
|
|
|
|
callback mechanism that greatly reduces the network traffic necessary
|
|
|
|
|
|
to maintain cache consistency between the server and its clients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new log-structured filesystem has been added that provides
|
|
|
|
|
|
near disk-speed output and fast crash recovery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is still experimental in the 4.4BSD release,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so we do not recommend it for production use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have also added a memory-based filesystem that runs in
|
|
|
|
|
|
pageable memory, allowing large temporary filesystems without
|
|
|
|
|
|
requiring dedicated physical memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The local ``fast filesystem'' has been enhanced to do
|
|
|
|
|
|
clustering which allows large pieces of files to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
allocated contiguously resulting in near doubling
|
|
|
|
|
|
of filesystem throughput.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The filesystem interface has been extended to allow
|
|
|
|
|
|
files and filesystems to grow to 2^63 bytes in size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The quota system has been rewritten to support both
|
|
|
|
|
|
user and group quotas (simultaneously if desired).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quota expiration is based on time rather than
|
|
|
|
|
|
the previous metric of number of logins over quota.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This change makes quotas more useful on fileservers
|
|
|
|
|
|
onto which users seldom login.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system security has been greatly enhanced by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
addition of additional file flags that permit a file to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
marked as immutable or append only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once set, these flags can only be cleared by the super-user
|
|
|
|
|
|
when the system is running single user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To protect against indiscriminate reading or writing of kernel
|
|
|
|
|
|
memory, all writing and most reading of kernel data structures
|
|
|
|
|
|
must be done using a new ``sysctl'' interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The information to be access is described through an extensible
|
|
|
|
|
|
``Management Information Base'' (MIB).

POSIX terminal driver changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The biggest area of change is a new terminal driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The terminal driver is similar to the System V terminal driver
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the addition of the necessary extensions to get the
|
|
|
|
|
|
functionality previously available in the 4.3BSD terminal driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.4BSD also adds the IEEE Std1003.1 job control interface,
|
|
|
|
|
|
which is similar to the 4.3BSD job control interface,
|
|
|
|
|
|
but adds a security model that was missing in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.3BSD job control implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new system call, \fIsetsid\fP,
|
|
|
|
|
|
creates a job-control session consisting of a single process
|
|
|
|
|
|
group with one member, the caller, that becomes a session leader.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only a session leader may acquire a controlling terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is done explicitly via a \s-1TIOCSCTTY\s+1 \fIioctl\fP call,
|
|
|
|
|
|
not implicitly by an \fIopen\fP call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The call fails if the terminal is in use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|

For backward compatibility,
|
|

both the old \fIioctl\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
calls and old options to \fIstty\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
are emulated.

Changes to the utilities

.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several new tools and utilities included in this release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new version of ``make'' allows much-simplified makefiles for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
system software and allows compilation for multiple architectures
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the same source tree (which may be mounted read-only).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notable additions to the libraries include functions to traverse a
|
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem hierarchy, database interfaces to btree and hashing functions,
|
|
|
|
|
|
a new, fast implementation of stdio and a radix sort function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The additions to the utility suite include greatly enhanced versions of
|
|
|
|
|
|
programs that display system status information, implementations of
|
|
|
|
|
|
various traditional tools described in the IEEE Std1003.2 standard,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and many others.

We have been tracking the IEEE Std1003.2 shell and utility work
|
|
|
|
|
|
and have included prototypes of many of the proposed utilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the traditional utilities have been replaced
|
|
|
|
|
|
with implementations conformant to the POSIX standards.
|
|
|

Almost the entire manual suite has been rewritten to

It also has a few new features: 8-bit clean data, lines and files
|
|
|

limited only by memory and disk space, split screens, tags stacks

.IP \(bu

The newly added \fIfts\fP
|

functions will do either physical or logical traversal of
|
|
|
|
|
|
a file hierarchy as well as handle essentially infinite depth
|
|
|
|
|
|
filesystems and filesystems with cycles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the utilities in 4.4BSD that traverse file hierarchies
|
|
|
|
|
|
have been converted to use \fIfts\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The conversion has always resulted in a significant performance
|
|
|
|
|
|
gain, often of four or five to one in system time.

.IP \(bu
|

The newly added \fIdbopen\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
functions are intended to be a family of database access methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, they consist of \fIhash\fP,
|
|
|
|
|
|
an extensible, dynamic hashing scheme,
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fIbtree\fP, a sorted, balanced tree structure (B+tree's), and
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fIrecno\fP, a flat-file interface for fixed or variable length records
|
|
|
|
|
|
referenced by logical record number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each of the access methods stores associated key/data pairs and
|
|
|
|
|
|
uses the same record oriented interface for access.
|
|
|
|
|

Future versions of this software may be retrieved by anonymous ftp

The \fIqsort\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
function has been rewritten for additional performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, three new types of sorting functions,
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fIheapsort\fP, \fImergesort\fP, and \fIradixsort\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
have been added to the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fImergesort\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
function is optimized for data with pre-existing order,
|
|
|
|
|
|
in which case it usually significantly outperforms \fIqsort\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIradixsort\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
functions are variants of most-significant-byte radix sorting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
They take time linear to the number of bytes to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
sorted, usually significantly outperforming \fIqsort\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
on data that can be sorted in this fashion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An implementation of the POSIX 1003.2 standard \fIsort\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
based on \fIradixsort\fP is included in 4.4BSD.

Without the help of lawyers Mary MacDonald, Joel Linzner,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Carla Shapiro, the 4.4BSD-Lite distribution would never
|
|
|
|
|
|
have seen the light of day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Much help was provided by Chris Demetriou in getting bug fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
from NetBSD integrated back into the 4.4BSD-Lite distribution.

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The vast majority of the 4.4BSD distribution comes from the numerous
|
|
|
|
|
|
people in the UNIX community that provided their time and energy in
|
|
|
|
|
|
creating the software contained in this release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We dedicate this distribution to them.

This update to the 4.2 distribution of August 1983 provides
|
|
|
|
|
|
substantially improved performance, reliability, and security,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the addition of Xerox Network System (NS) to the set of networking domains,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and partial support for the VAX 8600 and MICROVAXII.

We were greatly assisted by the DEC UNIX Engineering group who
|
|
|
|
|
|
provided two full time employees, Miriam Amos and Kevin Dunlap,
|
|
|
|
|
|
to work at Berkeley. They were responsible for developing and
|
|
|
|
|
|
debugging the distributed domain based name server
|
|
|
|
|
|
and integrating it into the mail system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mt Xinu provided the bug list distribution service as well as
|
|
|
|
|
|
donating their MICROVAXII port to 4.3BSD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drivers for the MICROVAXII were done by Rick Macklem
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the University of Guelph.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sam Leffler provided valuable assistance and advice with many projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keith Sklower coordinated with William Nesheim and J. Q. Johnson at Cornell,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Chris Torek and James O'Toole at the University of Maryland
|
|
|
|
|
|
to do the Xerox Network Systems implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Robert Elz at the University of Melbourne contributed greatly
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the performance work in the kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Donn Seeley and Jay Lepreau at the University of Utah
|
|
|
|
|
|
relentlessly dealt with a myriad of details;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Donn completed the unfinished performance work on Fortran 77
|
|
|
|
|
|
and fixed numerous C compiler bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ralph Campbell handled innumerable questions and problem reports
|
|
|
|
|
|
and had time left to write rdist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
George Goble was invaluable in shaking out the bugs on his
|
|
|
|
|
|
production systems long before we were confident enough to
|
|
|
|
|
|
inflict it on our users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bill Shannon at Sun Microsystems has been helpful in
|
|
|
|
|
|
providing us with bug fixes and improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tom Ferrin, in his capacity as Board Member of Usenix Association,
|
|
|
|
|
|
handled the logistics of large-scale reproduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD manuals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Seiden helped with the typesetting and indexing of the 4.3BSD manuals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special mention goes to Bob Henry for keeping ucbvax running
|
|
|
|
|
|
in spite of new and improved software and
|
|
|
|
|
|
an ever increasing mail, news, and uucp load.

This update to the 4.1 distribution of June 1981 provides support
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the VAX 11/730, full networking and interprocess communication
|
|
|
|
|
|
support, an entirely new file system, and many other new features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is certainly the most ambitious release of software ever prepared
|
|
|
|
|
|
here and represents many man-years of work.

Bill Shannon (both at DEC and at Sun Microsystems)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Robert Elz of the University
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Melbourne contributed greatly to this distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
through new device drivers and painful debugging episodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rob Gurwitz of BBN wrote the initial version of the code upon
|
|
|
|
|
|
which the current networking support is based.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eric Allman of Britton-Lee donated countless hours to the mail system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bill Croft (both at SRI and Sun Microsystems) aided in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
debugging and development of the networking facilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dennis Ritchie of Bell Laboratories also
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributed greatly to this distribution, providing
|
|
|
|
|
|
valuable advise and guidance. Helge Skrivervik
|
|
|
|
|
|
worked on the device drivers which enabled
|
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution to be delivered with a TU58
|
|
|
|
|
|
console cassette and RX01 console flopppy disk, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
rewrote major portions of the standalone i/o system
|
|
|
|
|
|
to support formatting of non-DEC peripherals.

Numerous others contributed their time and energy in organizing
|
|
|
|
|
|
the user software for release, while many groups of people on
|
|
|
|
|
|
campus suffered patiently through the low spots of development.

This manual reflects the Berkeley system mid-October, 1980.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A large amount of tuning has been done in the system since the last release;
|
|
|
|
|
|
we hope this provides as noticeable an improvement for you as it did for us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release finds the system in transition; a number of facilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
have been added in experimental versions (job control, resource limits)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the implementation of others is imminent (shared-segments, higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
performance from the file system, etc.).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Applications which use facilities that are in transition should be aware
|
|
|
|
|
|
that some of the system calls and library routines will change
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the near future. We have tried to be conscientious and make it
|
|
|
|
|
|
very clear where this is likely.

at Berkeley, to assume responsibility for the future
|
|
|
|
|
|
development and support of a version of UNIX on the VAX.
|

|
|
The group has received funding from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
|
|
|
|
|
|
to supply a standard version of the system to DARPA contractors.

It is divided into three sets; each set consists of one or more volumes.

Within the area it surveys, this volume attempts to be timely, complete
|
|
|
|
|
|
and concise. Where the latter two objectives conflict,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the obvious is often left unsaid in favor of brevity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is intended that each program be described as it is, not as it should be.

Inevitably, this means that various sections will soon be out of date.

Commands are programs intended to be invoked directly by
|
|
|
|
|
|
the user, in contrast to subroutines, that are
|
|
|
|
|
|
intended to be called by the user's programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
User commands are described in URM section 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commands generally reside in directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I /bin
|
|
|

(for

|
|
|

A few conventions are used, particularly in the Commands subsection:

|
|
|
|
|
.RS
|
|

words are considered literals, and are typed just as they appear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
Square brackets [ ] around an argument show that the argument is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When an argument is given as ``name'', it always refers to a file name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ellipses ``.\|.\|.'' are used to show that the previous argument-prototype
|
|
|
|
|
|
may be repeated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
A final convention is used by the commands themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An argument beginning with a minus sign ``\-'' usually means that it is an
|
|
|
|
|
|
option-specifying argument, even if it appears in a position where
|
|
|
|
|
|
a file name could appear. Therefore, it is unwise to have files whose
|
|
|
|
|
|
names begin with ``\-''.

At the beginning of URM is a table of contents,
|
|
|
|
|
|
organized by section and alphabetically within each section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a permuted index derived from the table of contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within each index entry, the title of the writeup to which
|
|
|
|
|
|
it refers is followed by the appropriate section number in parentheses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This fact is important because there is considerable
|
|
|
|
|
|
name duplication among the sections, arising principally from commands that
|
|
|
|
|
|
exist only to exercise a particular system call.

After a data connection is established,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the login procedure depends on what type of terminal you are using
|
|
|
|
|
|
and local system conventions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your terminal is directly connected to the computer,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it generally runs at 9600 or 19200 baud.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using a modem running over a phone line,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the terminal must be set at the speed appropriate for the modem you are using,
|
|
|
|
|
|
typically 1200, 2400, or 9600 baud.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The half/full duplex switch should always be set at full-duplex.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(This switch will often have to be changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
since many other systems require half-duplex).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a connection is established, the system types ``login:'';
|
|
|
|
|
|
you type your user name, followed by the ``return'' key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a password, the system asks for it
|
|
|
|
|
|
and suppresses echo to the terminal so the password will not appear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have logged in, the ``return'', ``new line'', or ``linefeed'' keys
|
|
|
|
|
|
will give exactly the same results.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A message-of-the-day usually greets you before your first prompt.

If the system types out a few garbage characters
|
|
|
|
|
|
after you have established a data connection
|
|
|
|
|
|
(the ``login:'' message at the wrong speed),
|
|
|
|
|
|
depress the ``break'' (or ``interrupt'') key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a speed-independent signal to \s-1UNIX\s+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
that a different speed terminal is in use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system then will type ``login:,'' this time at another speed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continue depressing the break key until ``login:'' appears clearly,
|
|
|
|
|
|
then respond with your user name.

For all these terminals, it is important
|
|

that you type your name in lower-case if possible; if you type
|
|
|
|
|
|
upper-case letters,
|
|
|
|

\s-1UNIX\s+1 will assume that your terminal cannot generate lower-case

letters and will translate all subsequent lower-case letters to upper case.

\s-1UNIX\s+1 terminal I/O is full-duplex.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has full read-ahead, which means that you can type at any time,
|
|
|
|
|
|
even while a program is typing at you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, if you type during output, the printed output will
|
|
|
|
|
|
have the input characters interspersed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, whatever you type will be saved up and interpreted in correct sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a limit to the amount of read-ahead,
|
|
|
|
|
|
but it is generous and not likely to be exceeded unless
|
|
|
|
|
|
the system is in trouble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the read-ahead limit is exceeded, the system
|
|
|
|
|
|
throws away all the saved characters (or beeps, if your prompt was a ``%'').

The ^U (control-U) character in typed input kills all the
|
|
|
|
|
|
preceding characters in the line,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so typing mistakes can be repaired on a single line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the delete character (DEL) or sometimes the
|
|
|
|
|
|
backspace character (control-H) erases the last character typed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Tset (1)

|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|

.IR stty (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to change these defaults.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Successive uses of delete (or backspace) erases characters back to, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
not beyond, the beginning of the line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEL and ^U (control-U) can be transmitted to a program by preceding them with
|
|
|
|
|
|
^V (control-V).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(So, to erase ^V (control-V), you need two deletes or backspaces).

An

|
|
|
|
|
|
interrupt signal
|
|
|
|
|
|
.R
|
|
|
|
|
|
is sent to a program by typing ^C (control-C) or the ``break'' key
|
|
|
|
|
|
which is not passed to programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This signal generally causes whatever program you are running to terminate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is typically used to stop a long printout that you do not want.
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, programs can arrange either to ignore this signal altogether,
|
|
|
|
|
|
or to be notified when it happens (instead of being terminated).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The editor, for example, catches interrupts and stops what it is doing,
|
|
|
|
|
|
instead of terminating, so that an interrupt can
|
|
|
|
|
|
be used to halt an editor printout without losing the file being edited.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interrupt character can also be changed with
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR tset (1)
|

It is also possible to suspend output temporarily using ^S (control-S)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and later resume output with ^Q (control-Q).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Output can be thrown away without interrupting
|
|
|
|
|
|
the program by typing ^O (control-O); see
|

The

.IR quit ""
|
|

signal is generated by typing the \s8ASCII\s10 FS character.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(FS appears many places on different terminals, most commonly
|
|
|
|
|
|
as control-\e or control-\^|\^.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
It not only causes a running program to terminate
|
|
|
|
|
|
but also generates a file with the core image of the terminated process.
|

Quit is useful for debugging.

Besides adapting to the speed of the terminal,
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s-1UNIX\s+1 tries to be intelligent about whether
|
|
|
|
|
|
you have a terminal with the newline function
|
|
|
|
|
|
or whether it must be simulated with carriage-return and line-feed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the latter case, all input carriage returns
|
|
|
|
|
|
are turned to newline characters (the standard line delimiter)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and both a carriage return and a line feed are echoed to the terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you get into the wrong mode, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR reset (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
command will rescue you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the terminal does not appear to be echoing anything that you type,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it may be stuck in ``no-echo'' or ``raw'' mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try typing ``(control-J)reset(control-J)'' to recover.

Tab characters are used freely in \s-1UNIX\s+1 source programs.
|
|
|

If your terminal does not have the tab function,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can arrange to have them turned into spaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
during output, and echoed as spaces during input.
|
|
|
|
|

The system assumes that tabs are set every eight columns.

How to run a program; the shells.\ \

|
|
|
|
.R
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you have successfully logged in, a program
|
|
|
|
|
|
called a shell is listening to your terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shell reads typed-in lines, splits them up
|
|
|
|
|
|
into a command name and arguments, and executes the command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A command is simply an executable program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shell looks in several system directories to find the command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also place commands in your own directory and
|
|
|
|
|
|
have the shell find them there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is nothing special about system-provided
|
|
|
|
|
|
commands except that they are kept in a directory where the shell can find them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command name is always the first word on an input line;
|
|
|
|
|
|
it and its arguments are separated from one another by spaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a program terminates, the shell will ordinarily regain control and type
|
|
|
|
|
|
a prompt at you to show that it is ready for another command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|

|

.IR sh (1)

|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|

.IR csh (1).
|
|
|
|
|

If the shell prompts you with ``$'', then it is an instance of
|
|
|
|

|
.IR sh (1),
|
|
|
|
|
|
the original \s-1UNIX\s+1 shell.

\s-1UNIX\s+1 has a file system arranged as a hierarchy of directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the system administrator gave you a user name,
|
|
|
|
|
|
they also created a directory for you (ordinarily
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the same name as your user name).
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you log in, any file name you type is by default in this directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since you are the owner of this directory, you have
|
|
|
|
|
|
full permission to read, write, alter, or destroy its contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Permissions to have your will with other directories
|
|
|
|
|
|
and files will have been granted or denied to you by their owners.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a matter of observed fact, few \s-1UNIX\s+1
|
|
|
|
|
|
users protect their files from perusal by other users.
|
|
|

|
|
.LP

To change the current directory (but not the set of permissions you

Path names.\ \

|
.R
|
|
|
|
|
|
To refer to files not in the current directory, you must use a path name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full path names begin with ``/\|'', the name of the root directory of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
whole file system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the slash comes the name of each directory containing the next
|
|
|
|
|
|
sub-directory (followed by a ``/\|'') until finally the file name is reached.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I
|
|
|
|
|
|
/\^var/\^tmp/\^filex
|
|
|

If your current directory has subdirectories,
|

|
|
|
the name of the subdirectory with no prefixed ``/\|''.

Writing a program.\ \

To enter the text of a source program into a \s-1UNIX\s+1 file,
|
|
|
|
|
|
use the standard display editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR vi (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
or its \s-1WYSIWYG\s+1 counterparts
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR jove (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR emacs (1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(The old standard editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR ed (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
is also available.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The principle language in \s-1UNIX\s+1 is provided by the C compiler
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR cc (1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
User contributed software in the latest
|
|
|
|
|
|
release of the system supports the programming languages perl and C++.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the program text has been entered through the editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
and written to a file, you can give the file
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the appropriate language processor as an argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output of the language processor
|
|
|
|
|
|
will be left on a file in the current directory named ``a.out''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the output is precious, use
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR mv (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
to move it to a less exposed name after successful compilation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you have finally gone through this entire process
|
|
|
|
|
|
without provoking any diagnostics, the resulting program
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be run by giving its name to the shell
|
|
|
|
|
|
in response to the shell (``$'' or ``%'') prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|

Your programs can receive arguments from the command line
|
|
|
|
|
|
just as system programs do,
|
|
|
|
|
|
see ``\s-1UNIX\s+1 Programming - Second Edition'' (PSD:4),
|
|
|
|
|
|
or for a more terse description
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR execve (2).

Text processing.\ \
|
|
|
|
|
|
.R
|
|
|
|
|
|
Almost all text is entered through an editor such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR vi (1),
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR jove (1),
|
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR emacs (1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The commands most often used to write text on a terminal are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR cat (1),
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR more (1),
|
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR nroff (1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR cat (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
command simply dumps \s8ASCII\s10 text
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the terminal, with no processing at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR More (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
is useful for preventing the output of a command from
|
|
|
|
|
|
scrolling off the top of your screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also well suited to perusing files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Nroff (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
is an elaborate text formatting program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Used naked, it requires careful forethought, but for
|
|
|
|
|
|
ordinary documents it has been tamed; see
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR me (7)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR ms (7).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Groff (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
converts documents to postscript for output to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
Laserwriter or Phototypesetter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is similar to
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR nroff (1),
|
|
|
|
|
|
and often works from exactly the same source text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was used to produce this manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Script (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
lets you keep a record of your session in a file,
|
|
|
|
|
|
which can then be printed, mailed, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It provides the advantages of a hard-copy terminal
|
|
|
|
|
|
even when using a display terminal.

Various commands exist to provide you with useful information.

.IR w (1)
|
|
|
|

prints a list of users currently logged in, and what they are doing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR date (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
prints the current time and date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR ls (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
will list the files in your directory or give
|
|
|
|
|
|
summary information about particular files.

Certain commands provide inter-user communication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even if you do not plan to use them, it would be
|
|
|
|
|
|
well to learn something about them, because someone else may aim them at you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|

To communicate with another user currently logged in,
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR write (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR talk (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
is used;
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR mail (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
will leave a message whose presence will be announced
|
|
|
|
|
|
to another user when they next log in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The write-ups in the manual also suggest how to respond to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the these commands if you are a target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|

|
If you use
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR csh (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
the key ^Z (control-Z) will cause jobs to ``stop''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this happens before you learn about it,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can simply continue by saying ``fg'' (for foreground) to bring
|
|
|
|
|
|
the job back.

We hope that you will come to enjoy using the BSD system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although it is very large and contains many commands,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can become very productive using only a small subset of them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As your needs expand to doing new tasks,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you will almost always find that the system has the facilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
that you need to accomplish them easily and quickly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most importantly, the source code to the BSD system
|
|
|
|
|
|
is cheaply available to anyone that wants it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On many BSD systems, it can be found in the directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
.IR /\|usr/\|src .
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may simply want to find out how something works
|
|
|
|
|
|
or fix some important bug without waiting months for
|
|
|
|
|
|
your vendor to respond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also particularly useful if you
|
|
|
|
|
|
want to grab another piece of code to bootstrap a new project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Provided that you retain the copyrights and acknowledgements
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the top of each file, you are free to redistribute your
|
|
|
|
|
|
work for fun or profit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Naturally, we hope that you will allow others to also redistribute
|
|
|
|
|
|
your code, though you are not required to do so unless you
|
|
|
|
|
|
use copyleft code (which is primarily found in the software
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributed from the Free Software Foundation and is
|
|
|
|
|
|
clearly identified).
|
|
