LFS_SEGWAIT(2) BSD System Calls Manual LFS_SEGWAIT(2)NAME
lfs_segwait -- wait until a segment is written
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
int
lfs_segwait(fsid_t *fsidp, struct timeval *tv);
DESCRIPTION
lfs_segwait() blocks until a new segment is acquired for writing by the filesystem specified by *fsidp or if *fsidp is -1, until a segment is
acquired for writing by any LFS filesystem.
If timeout is non-zero, lfs_segwait() will return after timeout milliseconds regardless of whether a new segment has been designated for
writing or not.
RETURN VALUES
lfs_segwait() returns 0 if a new segment was acquired; 1 if it timed out; or -1 on error.
ERRORS
An error return from lfs_segwait() indicates:
[EFAULT] fsidp points outside the process's allocated address space.
[EINTR] A signal was delivered before the time limit expired and before a new segment was designated for writing.
[EINVAL] The specified time limit is negative.

The lfs_segwait() function call appeared in 4.4BSD.

SHMAT(2) BSD System Calls Manual SHMAT(2)NAME
shmat, shmdt -- attach or detach shared memory
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
void *
shmat(int shmid, const void *addr, int flag);
int
shmdt(const void *addr);
DESCRIPTION
The shmat() system call attaches the shared memory segment identified by shmid to the calling process's address space. The address where the
segment is attached is determined as follows:
o If addr is 0, the segment is attached at an address selected by the kernel.
o If addr is nonzero and SHM_RND is not specified in flag, the segment is attached the specified address.
o If addr is specified and SHM_RND is specified, addr is rounded down to the nearest multiple of SHMLBA.
The shmdt() system call detaches the shared memory segment at the address specified by addr from the calling process's address space.
RETURN VALUES
Upon success, shmat() returns the address where the segment is attached; otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The shmdt() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
the error.
ERRORS
The shmat() system call will fail if:
[EINVAL] No shared memory segment was found corresponding to shmid.
[EINVAL] The addr argument was not an acceptable address.
The shmdt() system call will fail if:
[EINVAL] The addr argument does not point to a shared memory segment.

I need to assign a variable within a variable in a sed command.
I tried doing the following in c shell.
set left = 1
set right = 2
set segment = qwerty
sed -n -e "/$segment{$left}/,/$segment{$right}/p" file.txt
what is wrong with this syntax? (3 Replies)
I am trying to grep for filenames containing a specific value within a particular segment. The lines containing the segment I'm looking through reads like "HL^1^^1^1", "10^9^9^0", and "HL^11^4^8^1". I would like to find the data that contains only the number nine after the third caret where the... (4 Replies)
I do have 2 different segment network which different platform on each segment. E.g. 20 segment, Windows OS can talk to Unix OS and 21 segment practice same rule. Further more, Windows OS from 20 segment can talk to 21 segment other OS but only the UNIX OS in 20 segment fail to talk to 21 segment.... (3 Replies)
Forgive me if this sounds like a newbie question. Any time you obtain a stack address from a pointer, what is this relative to by default? Is it the extra segment, the stack segment, what? How do you change change the relative positioning in memory? Thanks in advance (1 Reply)

I need to read in the string from input file and reform it by cut each segment and check the last segement lenght. If the last segment length is not as expected (see below segment file or table. It is predefined), then pad enough space.
