How to find application’s path from command line?
For example, I have git installed on my system.
But I don’t remember where I installed it, so which command is fit to find this out?
system-calls
Where is the fork() on the fork bomb :(){ :|: & };:?
Warning: Running this command in most shells will result in a broken system that will need a forced shutdown to fix
System calls supported in running Kernel
Is there a way to get the number of or list of system calls supported by currently running Linux Kernel? So I want to find a way to ‘read’ the syscall table of a running kernel.
How does fork system call really works
I’ve a very specific question about fork system call. I’ve this piece of code:
Making a process read a different file for the same filename
I have an application that reads a file. Let’s call it processname and the file ~/.configuration. When processname runs it always reads ~/.configuration and can’t be configured differently. There are also other applications that rely on “~/.configuration”, before and after, but not while processname is running.
What’s the difference between fork() and vfork()?
I would like to understand in detail the difference between fork() and vfork(). I was not able to digest the man page completely.
