Using Linux: EE 599-006: Real-Time Digital Systems Fall 2006

This document provides an overview of using Linux, including: 1. It discusses the command line interface and how commands can get input from stdin and send output to stdout, allowing processes to be connected with pipes and redirection. 2. It describes basic file navigation and manipulation commands like cd, ls, cp, mv, rm, and also file name globbing patterns. 3. It covers accessing, viewing, searching, and editing files, as well as developing code using text editors, gcc, and makefiles. Network access and redirecting stdin/stdout are also summarized.

Using Linux

EE 599-006: Real-Time Digital Systems


Fall 2006
Introduction

• Designed to meet POSIX specification


• Graphical interface available (X11)
• We will focus on systems programming and
relevance to real-time systems
Command Line Interface
• More arcane, but more composable than GUI
• Many small, simple programs composed to to
a single task
• Most commands can get input from stdin
• Most commands can send output to stdout
• Connect processes with pipes, redirection
Filesystem Layout
• Files organized in a tree
•
•
•

•
Navigation and File
Manipulation
• GUI file manager
• Command line:
- cd dir
- ls [ dir ]
- cp file1 file2 ; cp file1 [ file2 ... filen ] dir
- mv file1 file2 ; mv file1 [ file2 ... filen ] dir
- rm file1 [ file2 ... filen ]
More Command-Line...

• mkdir dir
• rmdir dir
• Use <tab> for file completion
• !! # do the last command
• <up arrow>, <down arrow>
File Name Globbing
• ‘*’ matches any string
• ‘?’ matches any one character
• “[adf-m]” matches ‘a’, ‘d’, and any char. ‘f’ - ‘m’
• Examples:
- ls *.h
- ls foo.?
- ls [g-t]*.c
File Viewing/Searching

• less file1 [ ... filen ]


• egrep expr file1 [ ... filen ]
• cat file1 [ ... filen ]
• find dir -name “file” -print
Files and Permissions

• Accounts, permissions, and users


rwxr-x--- 1 dieter dieter 12 Aug 4 2002 foo
• chmod ugo file
• Network file system
• Limited root privileges with sudo
Text Editing

• GUI
• vi
• emacs
• pico
Code Development

• Text editor
• gcc opts file1.c file2.c
• make [ target ]
• man subject
GCC Example
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf(“Hello, world\n”);
return 0;
}
• gcc -Wall -O2 -o hello hello.c
• ./hello
Makefiles
CCFLAGS= -O2 -Wall
all: hello hello2
hello: hello.c
gcc -O2 -Wall -o hello hello.c
hello2: hello2a.o hello2b.o
gcc ${CCFLAGS} -o hello2 hello2a.o hello2b.o
Network Access
• Remote access
- ssh host
- scp user1@host1:path1 user2@host2:path2
• Windows interface
- Putty
- WinSCP
Redirecting stdin and
stdout
• Redirect stdout with ">" or ">>"
• Redirect stdin with "<"
• Redirect stdout of prog1 to stdin of prog2
with "prog1 | prog2"
• find . -name “*.h” -print | egrep “hello”
