MICROUPTIME(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual MICROUPTIME(9)NAME
binuptime, getbinuptime, microuptime, getmicrouptime, nanouptime, getnanouptime -- get the time elapsed since boot
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
void
binuptime(struct bintime *bt);
void
getbinuptime(struct bintime *bt);
void
microuptime(struct timeval *tv);
void
getmicrouptime(struct timeval *tv);
void
nanouptime(struct timespec *ts);
void
getnanouptime(struct timespec *tsp);
DESCRIPTION
The binuptime() and getbinuptime() functions store the time elapsed since boot as a struct bintime at the address specified by bt. The
microuptime() and getmicrouptime() functions perform the same utility, but record the elapsed time as a struct timeval instead. Similarly
the nanouptime() and getnanouptime() functions store the elapsed time as a struct timespec.
The binuptime(), microuptime(), and nanouptime() functions always query the timecounter to return the current time as precisely as possible.
Whereas getbinuptime(), getmicrouptime(), and getnanouptime() functions are abstractions which return a less precise, but faster to obtain,
time.
The intent of the getbinuptime(), getmicrouptime(), and getnanouptime() functions is to enforce the user's preference for timer accuracy ver-
sus execution time.

Hi folks yet another bizarre piece of code that is Apple OSX 10.12.x to at least 10.14.1 specific.
It requires only a default OSX install, and the internal microphone along with an external headphone assembly.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
