Linux (usually pronounced lnks') is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel, where a kernel is the intermediate layer between the hardware and the applications. The kernel is, on an abstract level, the core of (most) operating systems, that manages the various system resources. The development of the Linux OS is considered the basis for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) collaboration since typically the underlying source code can be used, modified freely, and redistributed by anyone under the terms of the GNU (a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix!") Global Public License (GPL) and other free software licences. This freedom to access and reuse various components of a system, is one of the primary reasons for the popularity of Linux. |

The name "Linux" comes from the Linux kernel, originally written in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The rest of the system usually comprises components such as the Apache HTTP Server, the X Window System, the GNOME and KDE desktop environments, and utilities and libraries from the GNU Project (announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman). Commonly-used applications with desktop Linux systems include the Mozilla Firefox web-browser and the OpenOffice.org office application suite. The GNU contribution is the basis for the Free Software Foundation's preferred name GNU/Linux. The kernel's mascot is a penguin named "Tux". Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice.org are open-source projects which can be run on most Operating Systems, including proprietary ones. |

The Unix operating system was developed in the 1960s and released for public use in 1970. Its accessibility and portability caused it to be widely adopted, copied and modified by academic institutions and businesses. Its design became influential to authors of other systems. Other free operating systems include the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), developed at the University of California at Berkeley, and MINIX which was released by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. The development and adoption of BSD and MINIX were limited due to various reasons, and this lack of a widely-adopted and free kernel triggered Linus Torvalds into starting his project. |

In 1983, Richard Stallman started the GNU project with the goal of creating a free UNIX-like operating system. As part of this work, he wrote the GNU General Public License (GPL). By the early 1990s there was almost enough available software to create a full operating system. However, the GNU kernel, called Hurd, failed to attract enough attention from developers leaving GNU incomplete. |

In 1991, Linus Torvalds began a project at the University of Helsinki that later became the Linux kernel. It was initially a terminal (command-line) emulator, which Torvalds used to access the large UNIX servers of the university. He wrote the program targeting just the hardware he was using and independent of an operating system because he wanted to use the functions of his computer with an 80386 processor. Development was done on Minix using the GNU C compiler. This application is still the main choice for compiling Linux today (although the code can be built with other compilers, such as the Intel C Compiler). |

Torvalds continues to direct the development of the kernel. Stallman heads the Free Software Foundation, which in turn supports the GNU components. Finally, individuals and corporations develop third-party non-GNU components, which constitute a vast body of work and including kernel modules, and user applications and libraries. Linux vendors and communities combine and distribute the kernel, GNU components, and non-GNU components, with additional package management software in the form of Linux distributions. |

A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system, deriving much of its basic design from principles established in Unix earlier. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, called the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, and peripheral and file system access. Device drivers are integrated directly with the kernel. Separate projects that interface with the kernel provide much of the system's higher-level functionality. The GNU userland is an important part of most Linux-based systems, providing the most common implementation of the C library, a popular shell, and many of the common Unix tools which carry out many basic operating system tasks. The graphical user interface (or GUI) used by most Linux systems is based on the "X Window System". |

Users can control a Linux-based system through a command line interface (or CLI), a graphical user interface (or GUI), or through controls attached to the associated hardware (this is common for embedded systems). For desktop systems, the default mode is usually the GUI. On desktop machines, "KDE", "GNOME" and "Xfce" are the most popular user interfaces,though a variety of additional user interfaces exist. Most popular user interfaces run on top of the "X Window System" (or X), which enables a graphical application running on one machine to be displayed and controlled from another in a network. |

A Linux system also provides a CLI of some sort through a shell, which is the traditional way of interacting with a Unix system. A Linux distribution specialized for servers may use the CLI as its only interface. A headless system (system run without even a monitor) can be controlled by the command line via a remote-control protocol such as SSH or telnet. The CLI is particularly suited for automation of repetitive or delayed tasks, and provides very simple inter-process communication. A graphical terminal emulator program is often used to access the CLI from a Linux desktop. |

The primary difference between Linux and many other popular contemporary operating systems is that the Linux kernel and other components are free and open source software. Linux is not the only such operating system, although it is by far the most widely used. Some free and open source software licenses are based on the principle of "copyleft", a kind of reciprocity: any work derived from a copyleft piece of software must also be copyleft itself. The most common free software license, the GNU GPL, is a form of copyleft, and is used for the Linux kernel and many of the components from the GNU project. |

Linux based distributions are intended by developers for interoperability with other operating systems and established computing standards. Linux systems adhere to POSIX, SUS, ISO and ANSI standards where possible, although to date only one Linux distribution has been POSIX.1 certified, Linux-FT.Free software projects, although developed in a collaborative fashion, are often produced independently of each other. The fact that the software licenses explicitly permit redistribution, however, provides a basis for larger scale projects that collect the software produced by stand-alone projects and make it available all at once in the form of a Linux distribution. |

A Linux distribution, commonly called a "distro", is a project that manages a remote collection of system software and application software packages available for download and installation through a network connection. This allows the user to adapt the operating system to his/her specific needs. Distributions are maintained by individuals, loose-knit teams, volunteer organizations, and commercial entities. A distribution can be installed using a CD that contains distribution-specific software for initial system installation and configuration. A package manager such as Synaptic or YAST allows later package upgrades and installations. A distribution is responsible for the default configuration of the installed Linux kernel, general system security, and more generally integration of the different software packages into a coherent whole. |

A distribution is largely driven by its developer and user communities. Some vendors develop and fund their distributions on a volunteer basis. Examples include Debian and the Debian-based, Ubuntu. Others maintain a community version of their commercial distributions, as Red Hat does with Fedora. |

In many cities and regions, local associations known as Linux Users Groups (LUGs) seek to promote their preferred distribution and by extension free software. They hold meetings and provide free demonstrations, training, technical support, and operating system installation to new users. Many Internet communities also provide support to Linux users and developers. Most distributions and free software / open source projects have IRC (Internet Relay Chat) chatrooms or newsgroups. Online forums are another means for support. Linux distributions host mailing lists; commonly there will be a specific topic such as usage or development for a given list. All these can be found simply by running an appropriate search on Google. |

These include Dell, IBM, HP, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Novell, Nokia. A number of corporations, notably Red Hat, have built their entire business around Linux distributions. |

The answer is, "Yes!". The free software licenses, on which the various software packages of a distribution built on the Linux kernel are based, explicitly accommodate and encourage commercialization; the relationship between a Linux distribution as a whole and individual vendors may be seen as symbiotic. One common business model of commercial suppliers is charging for support, especially for business users. A number of companies also offer a specialized business version of their distribution, which adds proprietary support packages and tools to administer higher numbers of installations or to simplify administrative tasks. Another business model is to give away the software in order to sell hardware. Examples of corporations that are extensively (and sometimes exclusively) open-source and Linux-powered , with successful revenue generation models involving these, are Google, SUN, Mozilla, etc. |

Most Linux distributions support dozens of programming languages. The most common collection of utilities for building both Linux applications and operating system programs is found within the GNU toolchain, which includes the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and the GNU build system. Amongst others, GCC provides compilers for Ada, C, C++, Java, and Fortran. The Linux kernel itself is written to be compiled with GCC. Proprietary compilers for Linux include the Intel C++ Compiler, Sun Studio, and IBM XL C/C++ Compiler. |

Most distributions also include support for PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python and other dynamic languages. Examples of languages that are less common, but still supported, are C# via the Mono project, sponsored by Novell, and Scheme. A number of Java Virtual Machines and development kits run on Linux, including the original Sun Microsystems JVM (HotSpot), and IBM's J2SE RE, as well as many open-source projects like Kaffe. |

The two main frameworks for developing graphical applications are those of GNOME and KDE. These projects are based on the GTK+ and Qt widget toolkits, respectively, which can also be used independently of the larger framework. Both support a wide variety of languages. There are a number of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) available including Anjuta, Code::Blocks, Eclipse, KDevelop, Lazarus, MonoDevelop, NetBeans, and Omnis Studio while the long-established editors Vim and Emacs remain popular. |

Most of all, Linux is free as in "free speech": |
| 6 | 1065 |
The license commonly used is the GNU Public License (GPL). The license says that anybody who may want to do so, has the right to change Linux and eventually to redistribute a changed version, on the one condition that the code is still available after redistribution. In practice, you are free to grab a kernel image and sell the new code, as long as your customers can still have a copy of that code. |

As with UNIX, a Linux system expects to run without rebooting all the time. That is why a lot of tasks are being executed at night or scheduled automatically for other times, resulting in higher availability during busier periods and a more balanced use of the hardware. This property allows for Linux to be applicable to environments where people do not have the time or the possibility to control their systems constantly. |

From a Palmtop with 2 MB of memory to a petabyte storage cluster with hundreds of nodes: add or remove the appropriate packages and Linux fits all. One does not need a supercomputer anymore,because you can use Linux to do big things using the building blocks provided with the system. If one wants to do little things, such as making an operating system for an embedded processor or just recycling your old 486, Linux will do that as well. |

In order to work on a Linux system directly, one needs to provide a user name and password. You always need to authenticate to the system. Most PCbased Linux systems have two basic modes for a system to run in: either quick and clean in text console mode,which includes with mouse, multitasking and multiuser features, or in graphical console mode, which looks better but eats more system resources. |

It is generally considered a bad idea to connect (graphically) using the root user name, the system adminstrator's account, since the use of graphics includes running a lot of extra programs, in root's case with a lot of extra permissions. To keep all risks as low as possible, use a normal user account to connect graphically. But there are enough risks to keep this in mind as a general advice, for all use of the root account: only log in as root when extra privileges are required. |

While browsing the menus, you will notice that a lot of things can be done without entering commands via the keyboard. For most users, the good old pointnclick method of dealing with the computer will do. But for those who want to enter the "heart" of the system, a tool stronger than a mouse will be required to handle the various tasks. This tool is the shell, and when in graphical mode, we activate our shell by opening a terminal window. |

This stands for "change directory". When one wants to go up to the parent directory, bypassing the tree of directories one has entered, cd .. can be used. |
|
1586 |
</p> |
|
1587 |
<p id="ch6oop_43"> |

1588 |
One dot '.' represents the current directory while two dots '..' represent the parent directory. |

cd - will return you to the previous directory (a bit like an undo). |
|
1592 |
</p> |
|
1593 |
<p id="ch6oop_45"> |
|
1594 |
You can also use cd absolute path or cd relative path (see below): |
|
1595 |
</p> |
|
1596 |
<p id="ch6oop_46"> |
|
1597 |
Absolute paths: |
|
1598 |
</p> |
|
1599 |
<p id="ch6oop_47"> |
|
1600 |
An absolute path is easily recognised from the leading forward slash, /. The / means that you start at the top level directory and continue down. |
|
1601 |
</p> |
|
1602 |
<p id="ch6oop_48"> |
|
1603 |
For example to get to /boot/grub you would type: |
|
1604 |
</p> |
|
1605 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
1606 |
$cd /boot/grub |
|
1607 |
</pre> |
|
1608 |
<p id="ch6oop_49"> |
|
1609 |
This is an absolute path because you start at the top of the hierarchy and go downwards from there (it doesn't matter where in the filesystem you were when you typed the command). |
|
1610 |
</p> |
|
1611 |
<p id="ch6oop_4a"> |
|
1612 |
Relative paths: |
|
1613 |
</p> |
|
1614 |
<p id="ch6oop_4b"> |
|
1615 |
A relative path doesn't have a preceding slash. Use a relative path when you start from a directory below the top level directory structure. This is dependent on where you are in the filesystem. |
|
1616 |
</p> |
|
1617 |
<p id="ch6oop_4c"> |
|
1618 |
For example if you are in root's home directory and want to get to /root/music, you type: |
|
1619 |
</p> |
|
1620 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
1621 |
$ cd music |
|
1622 |
</pre> |
|
1623 |
<p id="ch6oop_4d"> |
|
1624 |
Please note that there is no / using the above cd command. Using a / would cause this to be an absolute path, working from the top of the hierarchy downward. |

Man pages (short for "manual pages") are the extensive documentation that comes preinstalled with almost all substantial Unix and Unix-like operating systems. The Unix command used to display them is |
|
2015 |
<span class="emphasis"> |
|
2016 |
<em> |
|
2017 |
man |
|
2018 |
</em> |
|
2019 |

|

. Each page is a self-contained document. |
|
2021 |
</p> |
|
2022 |
<p id="ch6oop_66"> |
|

To read a manual page for a Unix command, one can use: |
|
2024 |
</p> |
|
2025 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
2026 |
$ man <command_name> |
|
2027 |
</pre> |
|
2028 |
<p id="ch6oop_67"> |

at a shell prompt; for example, "man ftp". In order to simplify navigation through the output, |
|

generally uses the less terminal pager. |

2036 |
</p> |
|
2037 |
<p id="ch6oop_68"> |
|
2038 |
Pages are traditionally referred to using the notation "name(section)"; for example, ftp(1). The same page name may appear in more than one section of the manual, this can occur when the names of system calls, user commands, or macro packages coincide. Two examples are |

NAME |

</p> |
|
| 15 | 2101 |
SYNOPSIS |
| 6 | 2102 |
<p id="ch6oop_6d"> |
2103 |
In the case of a command, you get a formal description of how to run it and what command line options it takes. For program functions, a list of the parameters the function takes and which header file contains its definition. For experienced users, this may be all the documentation they need. |
|
2104 |
</p> |
|

DESCRIPTION |
| 6 | 2106 |
<p id="ch6oop_6e"> |
2107 |
A textual description of the functioning of the command or function. |

These days virtually every Unix command line application comes with its man page, and many Unix users perceive a lack of man pages as a sign of low quality; indeed, some projects, such as Debian, go out of their way to write man pages for programs lacking one. Few alternatives to |
|
2122 |
<span class="emphasis"> |
|
2123 |
<em> |
|
2124 |
man |
|
2125 |
</em> |
|
2126 |
</span> |
|
2127 |
have enjoyed much popularity, with the possible exception of the GNU project's "info" system, an early and simple hypertext system. |
|
2128 |
</p> |
|
2129 |
<p id="ch6oop_73"> |
|
2130 |
However, the format of a single page for each application, the lack of classification within the sections and the relatively unsophisticated formatting facilities have motivated the development of alternative documentation systems, such as the previously mentioned "info" system. |
|
2131 |
</p> |
|
2132 |
<p id="ch6oop_74"> |
|
2133 |
Most Unix GUI applications (particularly those built using the GNOME and KDE development environments) now provide end-user documentation in HTML and include embedded HTML viewers such as yelp for reading the help within the application. |
|
2134 |
</p> |
|
2135 |
<p id="ch6oop_75"> |
|
2136 |
Usually the man pages are written in English. Translations into other languages can be also available on the system. |
|
2137 |
</p> |
|
2138 |
<p id="ch6oop_76"> |
|
2139 |
The default format of the man pages is troff, with either the macro package man (appearance oriented) or on some systems mdoc (semantic oriented). This makes it possible to typeset a man page to PostScript, PDF and various other formats for viewing or printing. |

In all cases, when a file is moved to have the name of an existing file (in the same directory), the existing file is deleted. If the existing file is not writable but is in a directory that is writable, then the mv command asks for confirmation if possible (i.e. if run from a terminal) before proceeding, unless the -f (force) option is used. |

Note that, usually, when moving files within the same volume, moving (and/or renaming) is not the same as simply copying and then deleting the original. When moving a file, the link is simply removed from the old parent directory and added to the new parent directory. However, the file itself is untouched (i.e. it has the same inodes and resides at the same place on the disk). For example, you cannot copy a file you cannot read, but you can move (and/or rename) it (provided you have write permission to its old and new parent directories). Also, suppose there is a non-empty directory you do not have write permission to. You cannot delete this directory (since you cannot delete its contents); but you can move (and/or rename) it. Also, since moving between filenames on a single volume does not involve copying, it is faster and does not place strain of lots of reads and writes on the disk. Moving files across different volumes, however, does necessitate copying and deleting. |

(short for "remove") is one of several basic Unix command lines that operates on files. It is used to delete files from a filesystem. The data is not actually destroyed. Only the index listing where the file is stored is destroyed, and the storage is made available for reuse. There are undelete utilities that will attempt to reconstruct the index and can bring the file back if the parts were not reused. |

Usually, on most filesystems, deleting a file requires write permission on the parent directory (and execute permission, in order to enter the directory in the first place). (Note that, confusingly for beginners, permissions on the file itself are irrelevant. However, GNU rm asks for confirmation if a write-protected file is to be deleted, unless the -f option is used.) |
|
2814 |
</p> |
|
2815 |
<p id="ch6oop_ad"> |
|
2816 |
To delete a directory (with rm -r), one must delete all of its contents recursively. This requires that one must have read and write and execute permission to that directory (if it's not empty) and all non-empty subdirectories recursively (if there are any). The read permissions are needed to list the contents of the directory in order to delete them. This sometimes leads to an odd situation where a non-empty directory cannot be deleted because one doesn't have write permission to it and so cannot delete its contents; but if the same directory were empty, one would be able to delete it. |

In computer command line interfaces, a command line argument is an argument sent to a program being called. In general, a program can take any number of command line arguments, which may be necessary for the program to run, or may even be ignored, depending on the function of that program. |
|
2838 |
</p> |
|
2839 |
<p id="ch6oop_b0"> |
|
2840 |
For example, in Unix and Unix-like environments, an example of a command-line argument is: |
|
2841 |
</p> |
|
2842 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
2843 |
rm file.s |
|
2844 |
</pre> |
|
2845 |
<p id="ch6oop_b1"> |
|
2846 |
"file.s" is a command line argument which tells the program rm to remove the file "file.s". |
|
2847 |
</p> |
|
2848 |
<p id="ch6oop_b2"> |
|
2849 |
Programming languages such as C, C++ and Java allow a program to interpret the command line arguments by handling them as string parameters in the main function. |

3068 |
Using an older syntax (still used in Sun Solaris as the -n option is not supported), the last 20 lines and the last 50 bytes of filename can be shown with the following command: |
|
3069 |
</p> |
|
3070 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|

</pre> |
|
3074 |
<p id="ch6oop_c3"> |
|
3075 |
However this syntax is now obsolete and does not conform with the POSIX 1003.1-2001 standard. Even if still supported in current versions, when used with other options (like -f, see below), these switches could not work at all. |

Unix recognizes certain special characters, called "meta characters," as command directives. The shell meta characters are recognized anywhere they appear in the command line, even if they are not surrounded by blank space. For that reason, it is safest to only use the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and the period, dash, and underscore characters when naming files and directories on Unix. If your file or directory has a shell meta character in the name, you will find it difficult to use the name in a shell command. |

|
3306 |
The shell meta characters include: |
|
3307 |
</p> |
|
3308 |
<p id="ch6oop_e0"> |
|
3309 |
/ < > ! $ % ^ & * | { } [ ] " ' ` ~ ;
|
|
3310 |
</p> |
|
3311 |
<p id="ch6oop_e1"> |
|
3312 |
Different shells may differ in the meta characters recognized. |
|
3313 |

|
3314 |
<p id="ch6oop_e2"> |
|
3315 |
As an example, |
|
3316 |
</p> |
|
3317 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
3318 |
$ ls file.* |
|
3319 |
</pre> |
|
3320 |
<p id="ch6oop_e3"> |
|
3321 |
run on a directory containing the files file, file.c, file.lst, and myfile would list the files file.c and file.lst. However,: |
|
3322 |
</p> |
|
3323 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
3324 |
$ ls file.? |
|
3325 |
</pre> |
|
3326 |
<p id="ch6oop_e4"> |
|
3327 |
run on the same directory would only list file.c because the ? only matches one character, no more, no less. This can save you a great deal of typing time. For example, if there is a file called california_cornish_hens_with_wild_rice and no other files whose names begin with 'c', you could view the file without typing the whole name by typing this: |
|
3328 |
</p> |
|
3329 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
3330 |
$ more c* |
|
3331 |
</pre> |
|
3332 |
<p id="ch6oop_e5"> |
|
3333 |
because the c* matches that long file name. |
|
3334 |
</p> |
|
3335 |
<p id="ch6oop_e6"> |
|

Filenames containing metacharacters can pose many problems and should never be intentionally created. If you do find that you've created a file with metacharacters, and you would like to remove it, you have three options. You may use wildcards to match metacharacter, use the to directly enter the filename, or put the command in double quotes (except in the case of double quotes within the file name, these must be captured with one of the first two methods). For example, deleting a file named "``*`|more"` can be accomplished with: |
| 6 | 3337 |
</p> |
3338 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
3339 |
$ rm ??more |
|
3340 |

In the File Hierarchy Standard (FHS) all files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if they are stored on different physical devices. Note however that some of these directories may or may not be present on a Unix system depending on whether certain subsystems, such as the X Window System, are installed. |
|
3927 |
</p> |
|
3928 |
<p id="ch6oop_111"> |
|

The majority of these directories exist in all UNIX operating systems and are generally used in much the same way; however, the descriptions here are those used specifically for the FHS, and are not considered authoritative for platforms other than Linux. |

utility, all permissions and special modes are represented by its mode parameter. One way to adjust the mode of files or directories is to specify a symbolic mode. The symbolic mode is composed of three components, which are combined to form a single string of text: |

|

The references (or classes) are used to distinguish the users to whom the permissions apply. If no references are specified it defaults to all but modifies only the permissions allowed by the umask. The references are represented by one or more of the following letters: |

Programs can be run together such that one program reads the output from another with no need for an explicit intermediate file: |

In Unix shells derived from the original Bourne shell, the first two actions can be further modified by placing a number (the file descriptor) immediately before the character; this will affect which stream is used for the redirection. The Unix standard I/O streams are: |

Another useful capability is to redirect one standard file handle to another. The most popular variation is to merge standard error into standard output so error messages can be processed together with (or alternately to) the usual output. Example: |
|
4535 |
</p> |
|
4536 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
4537 |
$ find / -name .profile > results 2>&1 |
|
4538 |
</pre> |
|
4539 |
<p id="ch6oop_191"> |
|
4540 |
will try to find all files named |
|
4541 |
<span class="emphasis"> |

4542 |
<em> |
|
4543 |
.profile |
|
4544 |
</em> |
|
4545 |
</span> |
|
4546 |
. Executed without redirection, it will output hits to |
|
4547 |
<span class="emphasis"> |
|
4548 |
<em> |
|
4549 |
stdout |
|
4550 |
</em> |
|
4551 |
</span> |
|
4552 |
and errors (e.g. for lack of privilege to traverse protected directories) to |
|
4553 |
<span class="emphasis"> |
|
4554 |
<em> |
|
4555 |
stderr |
|
4556 |
</em> |
|
4557 |
</span> |
|
4558 |
. If standard output is directed to file results, error messages appear on the console. To see both hits and error messages in file results, merge |
|
4559 |
<span class="emphasis"> |
|
4560 |
<em> |

</p> |
|
4572 |
<p id="ch6oop_192"> |

It's possible use 2>&1 before ">" but it doesn't work. In fact, when the interpreter reads 2>&1, it doesn't know yet where standard output is redirected and then standard error isn't merged. |
|
4574 |
</p> |
|
4575 |
<p id="ch6oop_193"> |
|
4576 |
If the merged output is to be piped into another program, the file merge sequence 2>&1 must precede the pipe symbol, thus: |
|
4577 |
</p> |
|
4578 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |

When executed, the program reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output. It takes as parameters two sets of characters, and replaces occurrences of the characters in the first set with the corresponding elements from the other set. For example, |
|

</p> |
|
4924 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|

the set represented by a character range depends on the locale's collating order, so it is safer to avoid character ranges in scripts that might be executed in a locale different from that in which they were written. Ranges can often be replaced with POSIX character sets such as [:alpha:]. |

In computing, regular expressions provide a concise and flexible means for identifying strings of text of interest, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. A regular expression (often shortened to regex or regexp) is written in a formal language that can be interpreted by a regular expression processor, a program that either serves as a parser generator or examines text and identifies parts that match the provided specification. |

Regular expressions are used by many text editors, utilities, and programming languages to search and manipulate text based on patterns.

(BRE) standard (released alongside an alternative flavor called Extended Regular Expressions or ERE) was designed mostly for backward compatibility with the traditional (Simple Regular Expression) syntax but provided a common standard which has since been adopted as the default syntax of many Unix regular expression tools, though there is often some variation or additional features. Many such tools also provide support for ERE syntax with command line arguments. |

The standard quantifiers in regular expressions are greedy, meaning they match as much as they can, only giving back as necessary to match the remainder of the regex. For example, someone new to regexes wishing to find the first instance of an item between < and > symbols in this example: |
|
5095 |
</p> |
|
5096 |
<pre class="programlisting"> |
|
5097 |
Another whale explosion occurred on <January 26>, <2004>. |
|
5098 |
</pre> |
|
5099 |
<p id="ch6oop_1ca"> |
|
| 15 | 5100 |
...would likely come up with the pattern <.*>, or similar. However, this pattern will actually return "<January 26>, <2004>" instead of the "<January 26>" which might be expected, because the * quantifier is greedy it will consume as many characters as possible from the input, and "January 26>, <2004" has more characters than "January 26". |
| 6 | 5101 |
</p> |
5102 |
<p id="ch6oop_1cb"> |
|
5103 |
Though this problem can be avoided in a number of ways (e.g., by specifying the text that is not to be matched: <[^>]*>), modern regular expression tools allow a quantifier to be specified as |
|
5104 |
<span class="emphasis"> |
|
5105 |
<em> |
|
5106 |
lazy |
|
5107 |
</em> |
|
5108 |
</span> |
|
5109 |
(also known as non-greedy, reluctant, minimal, or ungreedy) by putting a question mark after the quantifier (e.g., <.*?>), or by using a modifier which reverses the greediness of quantifiers (though changing the meaning of the standard quantifiers can be confusing). By using a lazy quantifier, the expression tries the minimal match first. Though in the previous example lazy matching is used to select one of many matching results, in some cases it can also be used to improve performance when greedy matching would require more backtracking. |

The 1977 version had only a few built-in variables and predefined functions. It was designed for writing short programs [...] Our model was that an invocation would be one or two lines long, typed in and used immediately. Defaults were chosen to match this style [...] We, being the authors, knew how the language was supposed to be used, and so we only wrote one-liners. |

Notice that this original definition of a One-liner implies immediate execution of the program without any compilation. So, in a strict sense, only source code for interpreted languages qualifies as a One-liner. But this strict understanding of a One-liner was broadened in 1985 when the IOCCC introduced the category of Best One Liner for C, which is a compiled language. |

One-liners are also used to show off the differential expressive power of programming languages. Frequently, one-liners are used to demonstrate programming ability. Contests are often held to see who can create the most exceptional one-liner. |

The following example is a C program (a winning entry in the "Best one-liner" category of the IOCCC, here split to two lines for presentation).: |

Run it with two args, the string and the glob pattern. The exit status is 0 (shell true) when the pattern matches, 1 otherwise. The glob pattern must match the whole string, so you may want to use * at the beginning and end of the pattern if you are looking for something in the middle. Examples: |
