Re: [9fans] off topic - a good Git reference

I have managed to get libgit2 ported to Plan 9, but I haven't had enough time to actually take a shot at making a viable client yet. https://bitbucket.org/oridb/libgit2 It needed a couple of changes to APE to make it work, but they've been integrated into 9front. On Wed, 30 Sep 2015

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

Thanks for your answers! But I consider it ugly, to ask for the disk usage if you just want to recursively list all files. And then, the man page for du(1) is missing from the distribution http://github.com/9fans/plan9port If found one in the book "Plan9 the Manuals", snd edition. But

lucio, I don't know what you're refering to. Perhaps because I don't understand POSIX, but also to understand your abstraction I would need some more explanation.

leave away the 9 if you're not running ubuntu with a plan9 theme *sigh*

Re: [9fans] off topic - a good Git reference

There isn't so much quality software that can be compiled directly on plan9 and which is accessible only via git. Most useful stuff for 9front is in mercurial repos or even directly mountable via 9p. Still a gitfs would be a fun project for someone who wants to play with programming a simple

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

I'm surprised you can even remember find's command line options. If you need to optimize this cause you have a jillion files and think du takes too long i'd suggest creating an index of all files you have, sorted into a text file. Then you only have to use grep filename index.

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

In Plan 9 a command is needed, that lists recursively all files. Not more and not less. The du(1) command offers too much. I do not want to list the disk usage! The command du(1) from the second edition of plan9 only has two command line options (-a and -b size), whereas du(1) from

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

It is indeed a matter of taste and aesthetics. One reason I prefer Plan 9 is the Bell Labs aesthetics, as opposed to the so called "complete" solution aesthetic of other design philosophies which are slaves to some orthogonality or other, is the small is beautiful aesthetic. I've been using

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

On Plan9 it should also be possible to write a virtual overlay file server where creation of a new file triggers the creation of an index entry. On linux you would use inotify for something similar.

Re: [9fans] Replacement for find

Perhaps you could optimize even more by adding a special file-listing instruction to your CPU design.

Is there a C level equivalent of the BSD fts(3) suite of routines? Or even the System V ftw / GLIBC nftw suite? I suspect that having this would save some wheel-reinvention in these kinds of programs. Thanks, Arnold erik quanstrom wrote: > On Wed Sep 30 01:12:36 PDT
