Section 7: overview, conventions, and miscellany
cmake-developer – CMake Developer Reference Introduction This manual is intended for reference by developers working with cmake-language(7) code, whether writing their own modules, authoring their own build systems, or working on CMake itself. See https://cmake.org/get-involved/ to get involved in development of CMake upstream. It includes links to contribution instructions, which in turn link to developer…
cmake-compile-features – CMake Compile Features Reference Introduction Project source code may depend on, or be conditional on, the availability of certain features of the compiler. There are three use-cases which arise: Compile Feature Requirements, Optional Compile Features and Conditional Compilation Options. While features are typically specified in programming language standards, CMake provides a primary user…
cmake-commands – CMake Language Command Reference Scripting Commands These commands are always available. break Break from an enclosing foreach or while loop. break() Breaks from an enclosing foreach() or while() loop. See also the continue() command. cmake_host_system_information Query host system specific information. cmake_host_system_information(RESULT <variable> QUERY <key> …) Queries system information of the host system on…
cmake-buildsystem – CMake Buildsystem Reference Introduction A CMake-based buildsystem is organized as a set of high-level logical targets. Each target corresponds to an executable or library, or is a custom target containing custom commands. Dependencies between the targets are expressed in the buildsystem to determine the build order and the rules for regeneration in response…
checksec – check executables and kernel properties Synopsis checksec [options] [file] Description checksec is a bash script used to check the properties of executables (like PIE, RELRO, PaX, Canaries, ASLR, Fortify Source) and kernel security options (like GRSecurity and SELinux). Options -o or –output or –format {cli|csv|xml|json} Output the results in different formats for ingestion…
charsets – character set standards and internationalization Description This manual page gives an overview on different character set standards and how they were used on Linux before Unicode became ubiquitous. Some of this information is still helpful for people working with legacy systems and documents. Standards discussed include such as ASCII, GB 2312, ISO 8859,…
cgroups – Linux control groups Description Control groups, usually referred to as cgroups, are a Linux kernel feature which allow processes to be organized into hierarchical groups whose usage of various types of resources can then be limited and monitored. The kernel’s cgroup interface is provided through a pseudo-filesystem called cgroupfs. Grouping is implemented in…
cgroup_namespaces – overview of Linux cgroup namespaces Description For an overview of namespaces, see namespaces(7). Cgroup namespaces virtualize the view of a process’s cgroups (see cgroups(7)) as seen via /proc/[pid]/cgroup and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo. Each cgroup namespace has its own set of cgroup root directories. These root directories are the base points for the relative locations displayed…

casper – a hook for initramfs-tools to boot live systems. Synopsis BOOT=casper As kernel parameter boot prompt. Description Casper is a hook for initramfs-tools used to generate an initramfs capable to boot live systems as those created by make-live. This includes the Debian-Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images and Ubuntu live cds. At…
capabilities – overview of Linux capabilities Description For the purpose of performing permission checks, traditional UNIX implementations distinguish two categories of processes: privileged processes (whose effective user ID is 0, referred to as superuser or root), and unprivileged processes (whose effective UID is nonzero). Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks, while unprivileged processes are…
calf – a audio plugin library Synopsis calfjackhost plugin ! [ plugin ! ] […] Description The Calf project aims at providing a set of high quality open source audio plugins for musicians, possibly in many different plugin formats, so that they can be used in as many hosts as possible and in standalone mode. Currently…
bash-builtins – bash built-in commands, see bash(1) Synopsis bash defines the following built-in commands: :, ., [, alias, bg, bind, break, builtin, case, cd, command, compgen, complete, continue, declare, dirs, disown, echo, enable, eval, exec, exit, export, fc, fg, getopts, hash, help, history, if, jobs, kill, let, local, logout, popd, printf, pushd, pwd, read, readonly,…
BPF-HELPERS – list of eBPF helper functions Description The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) subsystem consists in programs written in a pseudo-assembly language, then attached to one of the several kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs from the older, "classic" BPF (or "cBPF") in several aspects, one of them…
bootup – System bootup process Description A number of different components are involved in the boot of a Linux system. Immediately after power-up, the system firmware will do minimal hardware initialization, and hand control over to a boot loader (e.g. systemd-boot(7) or m[blue]GRUBm[][1]) stored on a persistent storage device. This boot loader will then invoke…
bootparam – introduction to boot time parameters of the Linux kernel Description The Linux kernel accepts certain ‘command-line options’ or ‘boot time parameters’ at the moment it is started. In general, this is used to supply the kernel with information about hardware parameters that the kernel would not be able to determine on its own,…
boot – System bootup process based on UNIX System V Release 4 Description The bootup process (or "boot sequence") varies in details among systems, but can be roughly divided into phases controlled by the following components: 1. hardware 2. operating system (OS) loader 3. kernel 4. root user-space process (init and inittab) 5. boot scripts…
