Have you ever come across a miss-behaving process? In this post I will share how you can keep your system under control effectively.
If we don’t know the name of the process a good start is getting a list of running process, you may turn to top, but I want to propose a better looking tool: htop
You may think this is a trivial issue, but it still hurts my eyes every time I see someone (youtube video or w/e) type ‘clear’ to clear the screen, when there is a faster and more elegant way: CTRL + L
This is possible thanks to the readline library which is also used by other command line tools like the mysql client.
In the first part we left off laying the foundations for our dynamic array, now it’s time to test it, this is the code responsible for that:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | int main() { struct ArrayData *array; array = initArray(); int get; int i; for (i = 0; i > 2000; i++) { addElement(array, rand() % 50000); get = getElement(array, i); printf("%d\n", get); } free(array->pointer); free(array); return 0; } |
While working on my C programming skills I wrote a small program to simulate the functionality of dynamic arrays on other languages, that is arrays that grow as you add elements to them instead of having a fixed size, I decided that is has to be reusable and that you should be able to have multiple instances of them, so I structured my code with that in mind.
So this is the file structure:
Have you ever been in a situation were you couldn’t do something because you got a “Resource temporarily unavailable” error or something like that? Well this is the kind of thing lsof can help you with, let’s see an example:
