Coding and The Art of Unix Programming 6 33 (2/12/2009 9:24:46 PM) comp.unix.programmer I was reading Eric Raymond's book and became a little confused when he talks of writing Unix "programs". Sometimes he seems to mean stand- alone applications and other times he seems to mean things like "cat".... drhowarddrfine

Proper modularization technique 5 19 (11/10/2008 4:51:12 PM) comp.lang.c I'm unsure the best way to do this. I want to call a function that will generate a string to be used by the calling routine. Where is the best place to store that string? iow: 1) Should I set aside an array ... drhowarddrfine

Static library works everywhere but server 3 35 (7/10/2008 11:59:57 AM) comp.unix.programmer I must be forgetting something (up all night). I installed sqlite database on FreeBSD. Wrote a small piece of code to read two columns and it works. Transferred to an Ubuntu box and recompiled. It works the... drhowarddrfine

Searching a small file database 14 35 (6/24/2008 4:36:11 PM) comp.unix.programmer I don't want to use a db manager, like mysql, for such a small database but I'm finding this trickier than I thought and hope someone can provide some guidance. I have a restaurant menu with prices and other i... drhowarddrfine

Compile differences between Linux and FreeBSD 6 52 (4/23/2008 1:00:14 PM) comp.unix.programmer I have a program that runs fine on FreeBSD but yesterday I transferred it over to a linux box and it failed. (Actually it's a web server on a shared host). What is happening is a run time linker utility is in /... drhowarddrfine

How to examine library functions in BSD? 2 38 (1/10/2008 4:45:36 AM) comp.unix.programmer When I did some Windows programming, I had some utilities that would show info about the system libraries; library calls available, arguments, miscellaneous information. I know this worked on Windows system li... drhowarddrfine

Porting Windows program to BSD 5 40 (12/27/2007 2:15:20 AM) comp.lang.c I have an open source Windows program I would like to port to FreeBSD. I tried compiling it 'as is' and, so far, it only trips up on MS/Windows definitions, such as 'ulong'. Is there a cross-check list to fin... drhowarddrfine

Another pointer to array inside struct 2 43 (12/15/2007 1:07:56 AM) comp.lang.c Is there a better way to do this? At the end of this code, instead of copying all the pointers from milk[0] to my_milk[0], and so on, I'm sure there is a way to just make my_milk[]=milk[]? typedef char *Milk[... drhowarddrfine

Pointer to array inside a struct 4 29 (12/14/2007 10:55:23 PM) comp.lang.c What am I forgetting here.
