As it turns out, Perl is amazing! Find out why, and how to start using it.
Here's an obligatory dice roller written in Perl.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $num_args = $#ARGV;
if ($num_args < 0) {
print "\nYou must provide a number of sides for the dice.\n";
exit;
}
sub roller{
my $roll = int(rand($_[0]));
print $roll+1, "\n";
}
roller($ARGV[0]);

The llc, lli, llvm-ar, llvm-as, llvm-bcanalyzer, llvm-c-test, llvm-config, and llvm-cov commands from the d software series of Slackware. Also, an off-script rogue demo of lcov.
There isn't much of a logical flow to these commands, but here are a bunch of examples to demonstrate syntax:
$ clang -E -emit-llvm hello.c > hello.i
$ clang -S -emit-llvm hello.i # outputs hello.ll
$ llvm-as hello.ll # outputs hello.bc
$ llc hello.bc -o hello.s # outputs assembly
$ llvm-as hello.bc -o hello.s # outputs assembly
$ llvm-ar r hello.a hello.bc # outputs hello.a
For llvm-gcov:
$ clang -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage hello.c
$ ./hello
$ llvm-gcov show hello.c
$ lcov --capture --initial --directory . -o hello.info
$ genhtml hello.info --output-directory html
$ firefox ./html/index.html

Here's an Ada dice roller. First, create a file called random_number.adb. This is the random generator function, and it accepts the integer I as input, and returns an integer X as output:
with Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random;
function Random_Number (I : Integer) return Integer is
subtype Random_Range is Integer range 1 .. I;
package R is new Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random (Random_Range);
use R;
G : Generator;
X : Random_Range;
begin
Reset (G);
X := Random (G);
return X;
end Random_Number;
Create a second file in the same directory called main.adb. This is the front-end part of the application. It accepts a number in the form of -d 20 or -d 6 from the user at launch. It sends that number to the random generator function, gets a random number up to the number, and printts the result.
with GNAT.Command_Line; use GNAT.Command_Line;
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Random_Number;
procedure Main is
ROLL: Integer;
begin
loop
case Getopt ("d:") is
when 'd' =>
-- random number
ROLL := Random_Number(Integer'Value(Parameter));
Put_Line ("You roll: " & Integer'Image(ROLL));
when others =>
exit;
end case;
end loop;
end Main;
Compile, and then run.
$ gnatmake main.adb
$ ./main -d 20
18
$ ./main -d 6

> return 0; }
$ cpp hello.c > hello.i
$ gcc -S hello.i
$ as -o hello.o hello.s
$ ld -static -o hello \

The library paths are specific to Slackware, but are similar on other distributions.
Here are some additional shownotes by @linuxoid@mastodon.ml:
The detailed process of transforming C source code to a binary execution module for your operating system consists of 4 step (utilities) and 5 files on disk:
- hello.c - C source with macros
- hello.i - text file with expanded macros but still C code.
- hello.s - a text file in Assembly language.
- hello.o - binary object code with instructions to the processor, but offsets there are not tied to memory areas relative to other object files and libraries.
- hello - a binary executable file, with all object objects inside (maybe static libraries), ready for execution with the loading of linked dynamic libraries (*.so files in your OS distribution).
The 4 steps of compiling are:
- *.c -> (preprocessing: cpp)-> *.i
- *.i-> (translating: gcc)-> *.s
- *.s-> (assembing: as)-> *.o
- *.o-> (linking: ld)-> module_to_run

The grap2graph command to convert grap graphs to a bitmap. This requires the grap command, which does not ship with Slackware.
$ cat internet.d | grap2graph -format jpg -density 300 > my.jpg
The grn command is a preprocessor for Gremlin files. It appears to be non-functional, but it's possible that an additional back-end is required.
The grodvi command converts Groff to DVI for TeX. It's basically a shortcut for
groff -Tdvi.
Have your computer guess what groff command you need with grog
$ grog blah.1
groff -man blah.1
$ grog -Thtml blah.1

The philosophy and culture of bug reporting:
- A bug is any unexpected interaction between you and a product.
- A bug report offers you an opportunity to troubleshoot a problem. Ideally, it results in a solution before even being filed. Otherwise, it is a recipe for the developer to experience the same problem as you have.
- Bug reporting is collaboration. When you file a bug, you are not disturbing the developers, nor are you exposing them as poor or nefarious programmers. You are developing along with them in an attempt to optimize an application you love.
- A good bug reporting tool is also a task management tool.

The ending of the a2ps package, including psdiff, psbook, psmandup, psresize, psselect, and texi2dvi4a2ps. The greatest mystery is the showchar command, which appears to do nothing.
Upon further investigation (after recording), it seems that a2ps as distributed by Slackware also contains a collection of scripts called psutils, which provides fix*, ps*, eps*, *res, and showchar scripts.
The psutils collection is not yet in Slackware-current, so it is possible that it has been dropped from distribution. In the latest psutils sources, showchar appears to have been removed.

Klaatu is back in New Zealand after the All Things Open conference in Raleigh, NC. In this episode, Klaatu responds to some long-neglected listener feedback (if you spoke to Klaatu at the conference, or have emailed him recently, Klaatu is not ignoring you, he's just slowly catching up). Also, Klaatu talks about the website freesvg.org.

Here's the ipc* (from util-linux) demo in this week's episode.
Create a message queue with ipcmk:

Message queue id: 294914
View available queues:
$ ipcs | head
$ ipcs | head
key msqid [...] used-bytes messages
0x98544aba 294914 0 0
[...]
Write an application to send messages:
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/msg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct msgbuffer {
long tag;
char txt[128];
} message;
int main() {
int msqid = 294914;
message.tag = 42;
strcpy(message.txt,"hello world");
msgsnd(msqid, &message, sizeof(message), 0);
printf("Message: %s\n",message.txt);
printf("Queue: %d\n",msqid);
return 0; }
Compile it and run it:
$ gcc msgput.c -o msgput
$ ./msgput
Message: hello world
Queue: 294914
$ ipcs | head
key msqid [...] used-bytes messages
0x98544aba 294914 136 1
[...]
Compose an application to retrieve messages:
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/msg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
struct msgbuffer {
long tag;
char txt[128];
} message;
int main() {

Listener feedbacks from Mastodon, including commentary about the Julian calendar, Flatpak sandboxing problems, Flatpak usability problems, clarification on Bzip2 and LZMA and ZIP compression.
The overview of util-linux continues with mkswap, which designates a partition of a special hard drive or a special file as "swap" space. NEVER run mkswap on a partition or file that contains data you care about.
$ sudo mkswap /dev/sdx1
The pivot_root command mounts a new location as your root whilst simultaneously unmounting the old one. You probably won't ever use pivot_root manually yourself. Its typical use case is during system startup, when an initrd is used to bootstrap an environment but then needs to be shunted away when the real root partition becomes available.
You can test pivot_root in a virtual machine, just as a proof of concept, as described in this episode, but if you have ever used chroot, then you have
The raw command talks directly to block devices, useful for fancy databases or other high-performance things that don't need a filesystem because they use their own optimized system for managing data. On some systems (like Slackware), you may need to do modprobe raw before using raw.
NEVER run raw against a block device with data (that you care about) on it. Here is a really simple proof of concept demo exercise:
# raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdx
# echo "gnu world order" > /dev/sdx
# dd if=/dev/raw/raw1 count=1
gnu world order
[...]
The setserial command sets and reports serial ports on a Linux system. On Slackware, you can see the script that generates serial port definitions in /etc/rc.d/rc.serial, with its associated config file being /etc/serial.conf On a distro using systemd, there is a unit file that creates serial ports. Serial ports are usually accessible to the group dialout, so if you are having trouble talking to a device over a serial port, be sure to add yourself to the dialout group, and then log out and log back in. Permissions for devices that communicate over a serial port (like an Arduino) can be managed manually (chmod 660 /dev/ACM0, for instance) or you can script udev to set permissions upon connection.
In the original release, there was a mixing error at the start. This has been fixed, and the SHA256 sums have been updated below.

The journey through the util-linux from the a package set of Slackware continues.
First, a tutorial on getopt, an argument parser for Bash and Tcsh.
Here is a demonstrative sample script:
#!/usr/bin/bash
## or you can just use /bin/sh
OPTS=`getopt --options f --long foo --alternative -- "$@"`
eval set -- "$OPTS"
echo "Raw input: $OPTS"
while true ; do
case "$1" in
-f|--foo) echo "Option f has been toggled on" ; shift ;;
--) shift ; break ;;
esac
done
# this outputs anything
# left over after parsing
# valid options
for i in "$@" ; do
echo "$i"
done
You can add more options, and you can add an allowance for arguments. Here is a slightly more complex version of the script:
#!/usr/bin/bash
OPTS=`getopt --options f,b: --long foo,bar: --alternative -- "$@"`
eval set -- "$OPTS"
echo "$OPTS"
while true ; do
case "$1" in
-f|--foo) echo "Option f has been toggled on" ; shift ;;
-b|--bar) echo "Option b has been set to $2" ; shift 2 ;;
--) shift ; break ;;
esac
done
for i in "$@" ; do
echo "$i"
done
After the coffee break, Klaatu covers kill. Because he recorded this episode on the same night as the previous episode, he does make reference to some settings from the previous episode (specifically, a hostname setting).
That makes this episode a sequel to the previous one, meaning Klaatu owes you an extra episode sometime.
Also, mountpoint, mount, unmount, wdctl and watchdog

Season 13 begins! We have switched to a fancy new hosting provider, Webhosting.coop, a cooperative web hosting organization run in part by Josh Cox, a long-time supporter of the show.
Introductory episodes about Linux and Slackware have been posted. If you're new to Linux, start with these episodes!.
In this episode, Klaatu reads some listener feedback, and then ponders why we don't just build open source on Windows or Mac.

Listener feedback from Brian, blu3r4d0n, and Josh. A bunch of stuff about Github, Microsoft, trust, and free software.
If you want to increase the distribution of your published code, here is a way to push to several remotes. In your project's .git/config file, you can list more than one remote:
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:notklaatu/foo.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[remote "upstream"]
url = git@myrepo.local:klaatu/foo.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
You can pull from one to the other:
$ git pull upstream master
You can push to both.
$ git push origin master
$ git push upstream master
There are a few ways to implement this. Listen to Klaatu's HPR episode on the subject for more options.

Use LUKS for disk encryption. You can even use it to encrypt thumbdrives. It's easier than you think!
If you're using the whole disk:
# cryptsetup --verify-password -v luksFormat /dev/sdX
Or you can just encrypt a partition. From setup to encrpytion of the second partition of the imaginary /dev/sdX:
# parted /dev/sdX mklabel gpt
# parted /dev/sdX mkpart primary 1s 50%
# parted /dev/sdX mkpart primary 50% 100%
# cryptsetup --verify-password -v luksFormat /dev/sdX2

A tour of LVM. This show covers setting up LVM manually, which can be useful since often LVM is setup magically during installation. Hopefully, this overview will clarify what LVM does, what it's capable of, and how you can interact with it.
Here are the steps I did on this episode:
First, assuming you need to format the imaginary drive /dev/sdX:
# echo "warning, this ERASES everything on this drive."
warning, this ERASES everything on this drive.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX count=8196
# parted /dev/sdX print | grep Disk
Disk /dev/sdX: 1000GB
# parted /dev/sdX mklabel gpt
# parted /dev/sdX mkpart primary 1s 100%
That was setting up the drive. Your first actual LVM command creates a storage "pool". A pool can consist of one or more drives, and right now it only consists of one, but hey you have to start somewhere.
In this example, I call my storage pool billiards but you can call it anything.
# vgcreate billiards /dev/sdX1
Now you have a big, nebulous pool of storage space. Time to hand it out. Here I create two "logical volumes" (you can think of them as virtual drives), one called chronicles and the other called gnuworldorder:
# lvcreate billiards 66G --name chronicles
# lvcreate billiards 82G --name gnuworldorder
So now I have two "drives" carved out of my storage pool, but neither of them have file systems on them yet. So, create a file system on each.
Before I can do that, I have to bring the volume group billiards online, or "activate" it:
# vgchange -ay billiards
Now make the file systems:
# mkfs.ext4 -o Linux -L chronicles /dev/billiards/chronicles
# mkfs.ext4 -o Linux -L gnuworldorder /dev/billiards/gnuworldorder
Mount these drives more or less as usual:
# mount /dev/billiards/chronicles /chronicles
# mount /dev/billiards/gnuworldorder /gwo
You can add space to your pool by formatting another drive and then throwing it into the pool:
# part /dev/sdY mkpart primary 1s 100%
# vgextend storage /dev/sdY1
# lvextend -L +100G /dev/billiards/gnuworldorder
# lvextend -L +100G /dev/billiards/chronicles
And finally, there are two informative commands to get an overview of your storage infrastructure:
# vgdisplay
# lvdisplay

Klaatu continues his tour of all the little packages that are installed on your Linux box. In this episode: JFS, kbd utils, kmod, less, lha and lrzip compression showdown, libcgroup, libgudev, lilo, logrotate, and LVM.
I'll probably cover this, along with LUKS, in the next episode, but since it was mentioned, here is how I install the OS on a single LVM-enabled drive, and then add more drives with LVM later.
Assuming that you have Linux installed on a drive that is a single LVM volume group, then boot into your OS, and begin:
Partition your un-used hard drive. Assuming you have only two drives in your machine, let's call the first /dev/sdX and the second /dev/sdY (in reality, the values are probably sda and sdb, but to protect you from copy-paste disasters, I use placeholders).
First, find out how big your disk is:
# parted /dev/sdY print | grep Disk-
For the sake of this example, let's say your drive is 1200100MB (1TB) in size.
Create a partition that spans the whole drive:
# parted /dev/sdY mkpart primary 1 1200100 -
Flag it as an available entity in your storage pool.
# pvcreate /dev/sdY1 OK, now you have a drive prepped for use, but we should pause and look at our imaginary setup. In order to add this new drive to an LVM volume group, we need to know what volume groups we have. Your OS installer might have created this for you, or it might be something you very consciously designed yourself. Either way, you can see what you have available:
# vgdisplay storageOK, so we have a volume group called storage. Currently, we happen to know that storage contains only your first drive; the one that you installed your OS onto. But you want to make that bigger by adding a second drive to it. This is called extending your volume group.
# vgextend storage /dev/sdY1Now we have a pool that has access to two partitions, but we are still not actually using the second partition.
A volume group contains logical volumes, and it is to those volumes that you can add disk space by drawing from the available disks in the group.
To check what logical volumes you have:
# lvdisplayTo check physical volumes for size:
# pvdisplay-
Armed with a mental map of how your partitions and system are each laid out, you can now extend the logical volume. Let's say that your installer placed /home into its own partition. You would see it as a logical volume, and you can extend its size:
# lvextend -L +999G /dev/storage/homeThat would, as you can probably guess from the command itself, extend the logical volume containing your home folders by 999Gb.
-
Well, almost anyway. It has extended the space available to the logical volume, but it has not actually stretched the file system across all that new space yet.
To make all that extra space readable and writable, you must resize it:
# resize2fs /dev/storage/homeVerify what you have just done:
# df -h /home 1889T
Your home directory is now nearly 2TB in size, and the fact that the file system spans two separate physical volumes is entirely transparent to the OS.

Klaatu tries pkgsrc on Slackware, and you won't believe
what happens next. But to sum it up: it's super easy to implement,
easy to use, and pretty nifty.
To get pkgsrc on your Linux OS:
Download:
$ wget ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current.pkgsrc.tar.gz
Extract it to /usr:
# su -
# tar --extract --verbose --file pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
Bootstrap pkgsrc:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/
# ./bootstrap
Adjust paths:
# echo "PATH=$PATH:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin" >> ~/.bashrc
# echo "export $PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
# echo "MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/pkg/man" >> ~/.bashrc
# echo "export $MANPATH" >> ~/.bashrc
Build something:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/foo/bar
# make install

We hope you find this episode useful.
Here are Ken Fallon's shownotes:
A good alternative to ls:
find -ls
Find this, and then do that:
find -type f -iname "*txt" -exec grep cows {} \;
Identify symlinks when I need to redirect stuff from one data store to another:
find -type l
Useful for listing just directories, and getting around the annoying habit of ls *, which returns the files in sub dirs.
find -maxdepth 1 -type d
The prune option can exclude results:
find . -iname "*.wav" -type f -o -prune "./foo"
Identify empty files:
$ find -empty
foo
$ find -empty | xargs --max-args 1 trashy
As a cron job to remove old log files
0 23 * * * find /var/log -iname "~*" -o -iname "*log*" -mtime +30 -exec
trashy {} \; > /tmp/removing-old-logs.txt 2>&1
The mtime option allows you to limit a search to files older than, but also files newer than, some value * 24. It's great for when you bring up a new service that's logging something but you don't know where.
For bash scripts, I use this format a lot:
for foo in $( find /var/tmp/ -type f -name "foo.bar");do echo $foo;done
or like this
find /var/tmp/ -type f -name "foo.bar" | while read foo;do echo $foo;done
It's amazing how often I run this
find -type f -iname "*.something" -exec ls --full-time {} \;
or this
find -type f -iname "*.something" -exec grep something {} \;
Usually I throw in the -maxdepth option to limit the search depth.
Use the ipath or iwholepath to scrub a path for a string.
find -ipath "*something*"
Then there's this type of construct for tools like ffmpeg and xmlstarlet that don't love wildcards from for loops.
find -type f -iname "*.xml"| while read i;do xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m
'rss/channel/item/enclosure' -v '@url' -n "${i}";done
Then there's the awkward way it handles multiple options:
find \( -ipath "*foo*" -o -ipath "*bar*" \) -exec rm -v {} \;
Note: locate and updatedb use find in the background.

Klaatu expounds upon xargs and talks GNU parallel. Also, a bit about the concept of runtimes.
Here is a recent real-world benchmark comparing parallel to xargs:
$ time find . -type f -name "*.wav" | xargs -I% --max-args 1 sox % %.flac
real 1m5.364s
user 1m3.907s
sys 0m1.424s
