So, when I aim for portable C code that works on all *nixes, is the "Single Unix Specification" now the authorative reference, instead of just POSIX?

I think I missed that train. Advice from experienced devs appreciated.

#unix #c

@louis I have not heard of anyone referring to SUS in any context for more than 10 years. POSIX 2018 (i.e. POSIX.1-2017, do not ask) is currently the theoretical reference to be portable on Unix-like systems.

Of course no one bothers getting POSIX certified nowadays, so as usual test and add workarounds as needed.

@galdor Thanks! Good advice, as always.

Ever wanted to see Multics Emacs live ?

Emacs version 12.9 in a multics shell.

Pretty rare sight for me

Here's how you can use tcpdump command to capture and record specific network traffic, protocols and ports on #Linux, #Unix, #macOS (OS X) and BSD systems like #FreeBSD. This tool is essential for sysadmins and developers to debug networking issues. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/tcpdump-capture-record-protocols-port/

@nixCraft Or you might try Wireshark :toot:

Want to run the same command again? In many shells (e.g., tcsh, zsh, bash) you can type "!!" to recall last command and run it. Example:

apt install nginx # missed sudo
sudo !! # this will run sudo apt install nginx

#linux #unix #macos #freebsd
