![Aliases
- Aliases let you assign shorthand names to frequently used commands
alias: This command assign shorthand names to command
The syntax is as follows:
$ alias shortname=“command [options]”
Example: Create an alias called list, which will use the ls command to print a long-style
listing of all files in the current directory
$ alias list=‘ls –la’
$ list
unalias: this command unset an alias
Example: To unset alias list
$ unalias list](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/customizingtheunixenvironment-200417131349/85/Customizing-the-unix-environment-6-320.jpg)

Linux shell scripting
Linux shell scriptingMohamed Abubakar Sittik A Linux uses a hierarchical file system structure with directories like /bin, /sbin, /etc to organize binaries, configuration files, and other resources. Users can navigate this structure using commands like cd, ls, and pwd. Files can be viewed, copied, moved, deleted and have their permissions and attributes modified using commands like cat, cp, mv, rm, chmod and chown. Output from commands can be redirected, piped to other commands, or used for command substitution. The find command allows searching for files.

Unix- the process
Unix- the processDr. Girish GS The document discusses Unix processes and process creation. It introduces the ps command for viewing processes, and explains that when a command is run, the shell process spawns a new child process to run it while suspending itself. Process creation uses the fork() system call to duplicate the calling process and the execlp() system call to load and execute the desired program. The wait() system call is used by the parent process to wait for a child process to complete.
unix- Sort, uniq,tr,grep
unix- Sort, uniq,tr,grepDr. Girish GS This document provides an overview of common Unix commands for sorting, filtering, and searching text including sort, uniq, tr, grep, and sed. It describes the basic syntax and examples of using each command to order, remove duplicates from, translate, search for patterns in, and filter text from files. The document is intended to teach users how to manipulate text data using these fundamental Unix utilities.
unix- the process states, zombies, running jobs in background
unix- the process states, zombies, running jobs in backgroundDr. Girish GS This document discusses Unix process states, zombie processes, running jobs in the background, and killing processes with signals. It covers the following key points:
1. Process states include running, waiting, zombie, and runnable. A zombie process is one whose parent hasn't issued a wait call, while an orphan has no living parent process.
2. Background jobs run without user intervention using the & operator or nohup command. The jobs command lists background jobs.
3. The kill command terminates processes by sending signals. It can target processes by PID or send a specific signal number.
Unix - Filters
Unix - FiltersDr. Girish GS This document provides a summary of commonly used Unix filter commands including pr, head, tail, cut, paste, and sort. It describes what each command does, basic syntax, and examples of using the commands to manipulate text files and select or rearrange parts of lines and files. Key points covered include using head to display the beginning, tail to display the end, cut to select fields, and paste to merge files side by side or join lines.
File systems and inodes
File systems and inodesDr. Girish GS This document provides an introduction to Unix file systems and attributes. It discusses inodes, hard links created using the ln command, the umask command for setting default file permissions, and using the find command to search for files based on various criteria like name, size, permissions and more. Examples are given for using ln to create hard links, viewing inode numbers and link counts, setting umask, and searching with find. Exercises are included to practice using find to locate files based on attributes.
Basic regular expression, extended regular expression
Basic regular expression, extended regular expressionDr. Girish GS This document discusses regular expressions (RE) and how they can be used with the grep command. It covers the basic RE character subset used by grep by default, including wildcards like *, ., [], ^, and $. It then explains the extended RE character subset used with grep's -E option, including quantifiers like + and ?, alternation with |, and grouping with (). Finally, it provides examples of using grep with both basic and extended REs to search files for matching patterns.
Loop instruction, controlling the flow of progam
Loop instruction, controlling the flow of progamDr. Girish GS The document discusses microprocessors and their applications. It covers the LOOP instruction which repeats a block of code a specified number of times by decrementing the CX register on each loop. Conditional statements like .IF-.ELSE-.ENDIF and .WHILE-.ENDW are described which allow controlling program flow. Data declaration directives like DB and DW are explained which define variables of specific data types in memory.
Logic instructions part 1
Logic instructions part 1Dr. Girish GS This document summarizes logical and shift instructions in microprocessors. It discusses the AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NEG logical instructions including their syntax and examples. It also covers the shift instructions SHL, SHR, and SAR for shifting values left and right logically or arithmetically. The key uses of these instructions are to set, clear, or toggle bits to manipulate binary representations for tasks like converting between ASCII and BCD.
Bcd arithmetic instructions
Bcd arithmetic instructionsDr. Girish GS This document discusses BCD and ASCII encoding and arithmetic instructions in 8086 microprocessors. It defines BCD and ASCII encoding, explaining packed and unpacked BCD. It then describes the DAA, DAS, AAA, AAD, AAM, AAS instructions used to perform and adjust BCD and ASCII arithmetic. DAA and DAS are used to adjust the results of addition and subtraction of packed BCD numbers. AAA, AAS, AAD, and AAM are used to adjust the results of ASCII arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication to produce the correct unpacked BCD forms.
Bcd and ascii arithmetic instructions
Bcd and ascii arithmetic instructionsDr. Girish GS This document discusses BCD and ASCII encoding and arithmetic instructions in microprocessors. It defines BCD and ASCII encoding, including packed and unpacked BCD. It then describes the DAA, DAS, AAA, AAD, AAM, and AAS instructions which allow arithmetic operations on BCD and ASCII-encoded numbers by adjusting results to valid codes. These instructions are used after addition, subtraction, multiplication and before division to correctly handle carry/borrow and convert values to the proper BCD or ASCII format.
Ascii arithmetic instructions
Ascii arithmetic instructionsDr. Girish GS This document discusses BCD and ASCII encoding and arithmetic instructions in microprocessors. It defines BCD and ASCII encoding, including packed and unpacked BCD. It then describes the DAA, DAS, AAA, AAD, AAM, and AAS instructions which allow arithmetic operations on BCD and ASCII-encoded numbers by adjusting results to valid codes. These instructions are used after addition, subtraction, multiplication and before division to correctly handle carry/borrow and convert values to valid BCD or ASCII representations.
Rotate instructions
Rotate instructionsDr. Girish GS The document summarizes different rotate instructions in microprocessors - ROL, ROR, RCL, and RCR. ROL rotates bits left without affecting the carry flag, while ROR rotates bits right without affecting carry. RCL rotates bits left and propagates the carry flag, and RCR rotates bits right while propagating the carry flag. Examples are provided for each instruction to demonstrate how they modify register values and flags.
Program control instructions
Program control instructionsDr. Girish GS This document discusses different types of program control instructions used in microprocessors, specifically jump instructions. It describes unconditional jump instructions like JMP that transfer control unconditionally to a target label. It also describes conditional jump instructions that transfer control if a certain condition is met as represented by status flags. It provides examples of short jumps within 128 bytes, near jumps within 32KB, and far jumps that can jump to any memory location. It lists common conditional jump instructions and the conditions they test like carry, zero, sign, and overflow flags.
Memory interface
Memory interfaceDr. Girish GS - Memory interfacing in microprocessor systems involves two main types of memory: read-only memory (ROM) and random access memory (RAM).
- Memory is made up of semiconductor devices with each bit stored in a memory cell consisting of transistors. The capacity of a memory chip depends on the number of address pins determining the number of memory locations and data pins determining the number of bits stored per location.
- The two major types of memory are RAM, which can be read from and written to, and ROM, which can only be read from. Common ROM types include PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM, while common RAM types are SRAM and DRAM.

How to Un-Obsolete Your Legacy Keypad Design
How to Un-Obsolete Your Legacy Keypad DesignEpec Engineered Technologies For any number of circumstances, obsolescence risk is ever present in the electronics industry. This is especially true for human-to-machine interface hardware, such as keypads, touchscreens, front panels, bezels, etc. This industry is known for its high mix and low-volume builds, critical design requirements, and high costs to requalify hardware. Because of these reasons, many programs will face end-of-life challenges both at the component level as well as at the supplier level.
Redesigns and qualifications can take months or even years, so proactively managing this risk is the best way to deter this. If an LED is obsolete or a switch vendor has gone out of business, there are options to proceed.
In this webinar, we cover options to redesign and reverse engineer legacy keypad and touchscreen designs.

Customizing the unix environment
- 1. Introduction to Unix and OS Module 2 Dr. Girisha G S Dept. of CSE SoE,DSU, Bengaluru Customizing the Unix Environment
- 2. Agenda The Shells Environment Variables Command Aliases- Shorthand names for commands Command History The Initialization Scripts
- 3. - You can find out what shell you are using like this: $ echo $SHELL /bin/bash - Shell features are customizable - The default prompt for the Bourne, Bourne Again, and Korn shells is the dollar sign ($). - The default prompt for the C shell is the percent sign (%). - The default prompt for root in either shell is the pound sign (#).
- 4. $ env Common Environment Variables $ set DISPLAY=:0.0 EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color USER=geek - Environment variables are variables that are set up in your shell when you log in. - The environment variables are managed by the shell.
- 5. Customizing Environment Variable: PS1 - The shell primary prompt string is $ stored in the shell variable PS1, and you can customize it according to your preference. Example : change the primary prompt string to present working directory $ PS1=”$PWD -> “ /home/user-> Customizing Environment Variable : PATH - The PATH variable contains a list of directory path names, separated by colons for executing commands and scripts and you can customize it according to your preference. Example: Include the home directory in the PATH variable $ PATH=$PATH:/home/user - You can display a single variable with a simple echo command. Example: $ echo $PWD /home/user
- 6. Aliases - Aliases let you assign shorthand names to frequently used commands alias: This command assign shorthand names to command The syntax is as follows: $ alias shortname=“command [options]” Example: Create an alias called list, which will use the ls command to print a long-style listing of all files in the current directory $ alias list=‘ls –la’ $ list unalias: this command unset an alias Example: To unset alias list $ unalias list
- 7. Command history - Lets you recall previous commands and edit/ re-execute them - Every command is treated as an event and assigned an event number - Using this number you can recall previous command, edit them if required and re-execute them history: this command displays the history list showing the event number of every previously executed command Example: $ history
- 8. Example : display the last two commands $ history 2 - The symbol ! Is used to repeat previous commands Example: re-execute the command with event number 12 $ !12 - To repeat the previous command, use !! Example : $ !! Accessing previous commands by event numbers Accessing previous commands by context - When you don’t remember the event number of a command but know that the command started with a specific letter of a string, you can use the history facility with context Example: repeats the last command beginning with v $ !v - You can specify a numeric argument to specify the number of previous commands to display
- 9. The Initialization Scripts - The start up scripts are executed when the user logs in - The initialization scripts in different shells are: The Profile - If you'd like to set the environment variables permanently, add your settings to the initialization file In the bash login shell, the startup scripts are executed in the following order /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login ~/.profile - reads and executes commands from the first one that exists - If none exists, /etc/bashrc applied - When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file, ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
- 10. - Every time you change the profile file, You can execute it by using a special command (called dot). Example : $ . .profile The specific settings which an unix user usually does is: ― Setting of any environment variable ― Setting of any alias ― Setting of PATH variable or any other path variables $cat $HOME/.profile export PATH=$PATH:~blogger/bin alias l="ls -lrt" A typical profile file will look as shown below The rc File - This type of file is run every time a new shell is opened up even if it is not a login shell. - This file is ~/.bashrc for the bash shell - The rc file is used to define command aliases, variable settings, and shell options. - The rc file will be executed after the profile.
Editor's Notes
- #4: Interactive shell shell run by the user after logging on. A shell running a script is always a non-interactive shell. Bash shell is often identified by a '$' sign in the command prompt. Shell prompts are extremely customizable. The type of shell, which may be customized for each user Environment variables hold values related to the current environment, like the Operating System In simple terms, it is a variable with a name and a value. Environment variables are dynamic in nature, and it can be changed. There are a number of environment variables that can be referenced by programs and can be useful in finding information about their computing environment.
- #5: environment variables are global system variables accessible by all the processes To display the environment variables that are currently set on your system, use the env command. Editor: Defines the default editor for the shell
- #6: PS1 - Defines your command prompt. The default prompt for the Bourne, Bourne Again, and Korn shells is the dollar sign ($). The default prompt for the C, TC, and Z shells is the percent sign (%). The default prompt for root in either shell is the pound sign (#).
- #7: to run the longer command with less typing.aliases are shortcut names for commands. alias - This command creates an alias shortcut for long or complex command. used to avoid typing long commands avoid having to remember complex combinations of commands and options. unalias removes alias name specified
- #8: Executing the same command or a short sequence of commands over and over. Unix records all of the commands executed To list previous commands, use the history command
- #9: With bash, the complete history list is displayed
- #10: the shell program /bin/bash (hereafter referred to as just "the shell") uses a collection of startup files to help create an environment. The name of the profile file varies depending on the default shell of the user. what exactly goes into one of these environment setup files?
