[9fans] split(1): -e vs. -n, -f

2013-12-30 Thread dexen deVries
hi list, both behavior and code indicate that split(1)'s `-e' (split by regular expression) doesn't play along with either `-n' (line count) or `-f' (output file prefix). the former is somewhat understandable, but the later is strange in lieu of `-s' (output file suffix) working just fine. t

[9fans] 9front sleep interrupted in kproc?

2013-12-30 Thread erik quanstrom
not sure where to send this comment. i think this patch misunderstands the situation. the patch claims that some code is wrong because sleep in a kproc might get interrupted. http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/source/detail?r=3864ff1fe83f254622e6f10925f53df62255336d this diff highligh

[9fans] long mode -> 32-bit mode

has anyone got code for amd64 to go from long mode to 32 bit mode? in theory it's just a retfq, but evidently it's not quite that simple. ;-) - erik

Re: [9fans] "gpio device" for Plan 9

This is pretty cool! Good work! I have a question - what would the maximum ISR rate be for a rising edge of a square wave sampled on one of the GPIO pins? At the link: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=33113 Its quoted to be 10,000 events per second using a standard ISR. Of

[9fans] Vanilla Plan 9 or one of the flavors?

2013-12-30 Thread Alex Jordan
Hi, After a number of months of lurking on this list, I've finally gotten a computer set up to be a dedicated Plan 9 installation (as part of a grid, of course). At this point, I need to choose between vanilla Plan 9 or one of the flavors (9front or 9atom). I have read the "9front vs. 9atom" thread
