  2. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • On a Computer System, collaboration on Software Project need to share files and directores related to the project. • File Sharing Methods • Duplicate (Copies) of Common Files. • Common Login for Team members. • Common Group for separate Team member Logins. • File Sharing Via Links. • Hard Links • Soft / Symbolic Links • Redirection and Piping • Standard files, stdin, stdout, stderr. • Redirection of standard files. • Pipes in UNIX. • Combining Pipes and Redirection operators. • C shell and error redirection. • FIFOs concepts. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  3. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Duplicate Shared Files • Problem: Working of file simultaneously. Files are inconsistent. • Team Common Login • Problem: Separate personal and team accounts. High Overhead.Administrator must maintain new accounts per project. • Access Permissions on Shared Files • Problem: If User group not restrictive and access cannot always guarantee to be project members . • Team New Group • Problem: User group must ONLY be members of the team. • File Sharing Via Links • Link establish connection between file to be shared and directory entries of users who want to have access to this file. • Link provides different access paths to files to be shared. • Hard Links: Pointer to the inode of a file. • Soft / Symbolic Links: Pointer to the path of a file. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  4. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Hard Links • Hard link creates a file entry (new file name) in directory with the same inode index as the linked file. • ln [ options ] existing-file new-file • ln [ options ] existing-file-list directory • - f : Force creation of link. • - n : Do not create the link if “new-file” exists. • - s : Create symbolic link to “existing-file”. • NOTE: • < no “– s” > : Create a hard link to “existing-file”. • < “directory” > : The user MUST have execute and write permission for all the directories in the path leading to the file. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  5. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Review Inode a) Logical structure of current directory. File, Chapter3, is created in current directory. b) Contents of current directory. Directory entry contains pair <inode # / filename>. • c) Relationship among a directory entry, Inode Table, and physical file contents. • Inode # index into the Inode Table. • Inode Table entry contains the physical location of file on disk.

  14. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Hard Links Limitations • Cannot use Hard Links between files on different file systems. • # ln /usr/bin/zip my_zip ln: creating hard link `my_zip' => `/usr/bin/zip': Invalid cross-device link • Moving a hard linked file to different file system causes physical copy of file to be made. • $ ls -il memo6.hard 2630045 -rw-r--r-x 2 sau users 253 2012-10-29 16:25 memo6.hard • $ ls -il memos/memo6 2630045 -rw-r--r-x 2 sau users 253 2012-10-29 16:25 memos/memo6 • $ mv memo6.hard /tmp • $ ls -il /tmp/memo6.hard • 953686 -rw-r--r-x 1 sau users 253 2012-10-29 16:25 /tmp/memo6.hard • Editors saves edited file in new files, and remove previous file. The editors, vi and emacs, are safe. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  15. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Soft Links • Does not have any of the Hard Link issues. • Flexible: • Link files across File Systems. • Link to directory. • Soft link creates a new file entry (new file name and new inode index) in directory. • ln [ options ] existing-file new-file • ln [ options ] existing-file-list directory • - f : Force creation of link. • - n : Do not create the link if “new-file” exists. • - s : Required. Create symbolic link to “existing-file”. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Soft Links Current Directory • $ ls -il Chapter3 2630032 -rw-r--r-x 1 sau users 102 2012-10-26 00:47 Chapter3 • $ ln -s Chapter3 Chapter3.soft • $ ls -il Chapter3 Chapter3.soft 2630032 -rw-r--r-x 1 sau users 102 2012-10-26 00:47 Chapter3 2630044 lrwxrwxrwx1 sau users 8 2012-10-29 18:12 Chapter3.soft -> Chapter3 • $ • Create soft link. • The inode index for linked file and file are different. These are different files. • Original file is file type “-”, an ordinary file. Link file is type “l”, a link file. • Link count 1. • File sizes are different. Link file is 8 bytes, the length of “Chapter3”, the pathname is placed in the link file. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  19. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • File Sharing • Soft Links Pros and Cons • Pros • Establish symbolic link between files across file systems. • Establish symbolic link between directories. • Symbolic linked file edited by editor does not change filename. • Cons • If the file that the symbolic link points to is moved from one directory to another, it can no longer be accessed via the link. • UNIX has to support an additional file type (the link type) and a new file has to be created for every link. • Symbolic links also result in slow file operations because, for every reference to the file, the link file has to be opened and read in order to reach the actual file. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  20. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Standard Files • All commands performs one or more of : Input, Output, Processing • Standard files Automatically Opened on Every Command: • Standard Input (stdin) - File Descriptor = 0. • Standard Output (stdout) - File Descriptor = 1. • Standard Error (stderr) - File Descriptor = 2. • Standard files can be redirected to other files using File Redirection Facilities in UNIX. • Connect several commands together to perform a complex task, that cannot be performed by single command. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  21. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Standard Files: Automatically opened by the Kernel for every command for te command to read input from and send its output and error messages to. • By default • stdin is associated with keyboard • stdout is associated with display screen • stderr is associated with display screen SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  22. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Input Redirection • command < input-file • Input to “command” comes from “input-file” instead of stdin (i.e. keyboard). • cat < tempfile stdin has been has been attached to “tempfile”. • cat tempfile stdin still active NOT attached to “tempfile”. “tempfile” is file command line argument to the command. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  23. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Input Redirection Input-file ( keyboard ) Keyboard detached from stdin and input-file attached. ( keyboard ) Input-file SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  24. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Output Redirection • command > output-file • Send output of “command” to the “output-file” instead of stdout (i.e. monitor). • cat > tempfile stdout has been has been attached to “tempfile”. • cat tempfile stdin still active. stdout still active. “tempfile” is file command line argument to the command. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  25. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Output Redirection SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  26. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Output Redirection • Network Environment • rsh [ –l <username> ] host [ command ] • Remote shell executes command on host. • rsh 192.168.1.47 sort < datafile • ssh [ -l <username> ] host [ command ] • Remote login executes command on host. • ssh 192.168.1.47 -l root sort < datafile SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  27. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • Combine Input and Output Redirection • command < input-file > output-file • The “command” takes input from “input-file” instead of stdin (i.e. keyboard) and sends its output to the “output-file” instead of stdout (i.e. monitor). • cat < lab1 > lab2 stdout has been has been attached to “lab2”. stdin has been attached to “lab1”. The cat command takes its input from the lab1 file and sends its output to the lab2 file. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  28. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • File Descriptor With I/O Redirection • File Descriptor is an integer that the UNIX kernel attaches with every open file to stdin, stdout, and stderr. • Standard Input (stdin) = 0 • Standard Output (stdout) = 1 • Standard Error (stderr) = 2 • File Descriptors can be used for I/O Redirection • 0< : Redirect Standard Input • 1> : Redirect Standard Output • 2> : Redirect Standard Error • >& : Redirect one File Descriptor to another File Descriptor • 2>&1 : Redirects File Descriptor 2 (stderr) to File Descriptor 1 (stdout). • 1>&2 : Redirects File Descriptor 1 (stdout) to File Descriptor 2 (stderr). • Using File Descriptors: • “cat > outfile” equivalent to “cat 1> outfile”. • “grep John 0< tempfile” equivalent to “grep John < tempfile”. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  29. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • File Descriptor With I/O Redirection • command 2> error-file • Error messages generated by “command” sent to stderr are redirected to “error-file”. • $ cat memo 1> letter 2>&1 • $ cat letter cat: memo: No such file or directory • $ rm letter • $ cat memo > letter 2>&1 • $ cat letter cat: memo: No such file or directory Redirects stderr to what stdout was (“letter”) when the argument was encountered. NOTE: If want to redirect stderr, have to use the syntax “2>”. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  30. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • File Descriptor With I/O Redirection • Redirect stdout and stderr to the same file by using the descriptors with > symbol • $ cat lab1 lab2 lab3 1> cat.output 2>cat.output • Using string 2>&1 to tell the command shell to make descriptor 2 a duplicate of descriptor 1, resulting in error messages going to the same place the output is goes to • $cat lab1 lab2 lab3 1> cat.output.errors 2>&1 • Using string 1>&2 to tell the command shell to make descriptor 1 a duplicate of descriptor 2, resulting in output going to the same place as the error messages • $ lab1 lab2 lab3 2> cat.output.errors 1>&2 • The evaluation for command line content for file redirection is from left to right SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  33. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • Redirection and Piping • File Descriptor Redirect Stdout and Stderr • Redirection Evaluated Left to Right • cat lab1 lab2 lab3 2>&1 1> cat.output.errors • Evaluation of command line for file redirection is left to right. • One notation is dependent on notation to the left. • Evaluation of cat command: 1) Stderr (2) is made a duplicate of stdout (1). 2) Stdout (1) has NOT been redirected. Stderr (2) becomes duplicate of stdout (1) default (console). 3) Stdout (1) is redirected to file “cat.output.errors”. 4) Output  cat.output.errors. Errors  console. 2 1 3 4 SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL

  44. Introduction UNIX/Linux Course • C Shell • Error Redirection “>&” • C Shell Limitation: • File Descriptors cannot be used with ( “<“, “>”, “>>” ). • Error Redirection is “>&”, but for bothstdout and stderr. • To attach stdout and stderr to different files, parenthesize the command to have the stdout redirection in the subshell. • % (find ~ -name foo –print > foo.paths) >& error.log Subshell redirects stdout to foo.paths. Stderr from parent shell still redirected to error.log. Subshell Subshell inherits standard files of the parent shell (stdout and stderr redirected to error.log). Parent Shell executes before SubShell SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL
