richacl – Rich Access Control Lists Description Rich Access Control Lists (RichACLs) are an extension of the traditional POSIX file permission model to support NFSv4 Access Control Lists <URL: https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5661.txt > on local and remote-mounted filesystems. A RichACL can always be translated into an equivalent NFSv4 ACL which grants the same permissions. RichACLs can be…
npm-removal – Cleaning the Slate Synopsis So sad to see you go. sudo npm uninstall npm -g Or, if that fails, get the npm source code, and do: sudo make uninstall More Severe Uninstalling Usually, the above instructions are sufficient. That will remove npm, but leave behind anything you’ve installed. If that doesn’t work, or…
remote-filesystems – event signalling that remote filesystems have been mounted Synopsis local-filesystems [ENV]… Description The remote-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all remote filesystems listed in fstab(5). mountall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel…
regex – POSIX.2 regular expressions Description Regular expressions ("RE"s), as defined in POSIX.2, come in two forms: modern REs (roughly those of egrep; POSIX.2 calls these "extended" REs) and obsolete REs (roughly those of ed(1); POSIX.2 "basic" REs). Obsolete REs mostly exist for backward compatibility in some old programs; they will be discussed at the…

rdrand-gen – Generate randomness by using RdRand on Intel’s CPUs. Synopsis rdrand-gen [–amount NUM] [–method NAME] [–output FILE] [–threads NUM] [–aes-ctr [–aes-keys FILE]] [–verbose] [–version] [–help] Description RdRand is an instruction for returning random numbers from an Intel on-chip hardware random number generator. RdRand is available on Ivy Bridge and later processors. It uses cascade…
rdma_cm – RDMA communication manager. Synopsis #include <rdma/rdma_cma.h> Description Used to establish communication over RDMA transports. Notes The RDMA CM is a communication manager used to setup reliable, connected and unreliable datagram data transfers. It provides an RDMA transport neutral interface for establishing connections. The API concepts are based on sockets, but adapted for queue…
raw – Linux IPv4 raw sockets Synopsis #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> raw_socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, int protocol); Description Raw sockets allow new IPv4 protocols to be implemented in user space. A raw socket receives or sends the raw datagram not including link level headers. The IPv4 layer generates an IP header when sending a packet…
random – overview of interfaces for obtaining randomness Description The kernel random-number generator relies on entropy gathered from device drivers and other sources of environmental noise to seed a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG). It is designed for security, rather than speed. The following interfaces provide access to output from the kernel CSPRNG: *…
quvi-modules – Overview of the loadable quvi modules Description quvi-modules are a selection of importable modules implemented in Lua. These modules are intended to be loaded (require) from the libquvi-scripts(7). Many of the modules are documented within the code. Refer to the individual modules for their detailed description of different available functions. The modules are…
quvi-modules-3rdparty – Overview of the loadable 3rd party modules Description This is a brief list of the loadable 3rd party modules that the the libquvi-scripts(7) use. For more information about these modules, refer to their corresponding reference documentation. 3Rd Party Modules LuaBitOp Lua BitOp is a C extension module for Lua 5.1/5.2 which adds bitwise…

queue – implementations of linked lists and queues Description The <sys/queue.h> header file provides a set of macros that define and operate on the following data structures: * singly linked lists (SLIST) * doubly linked lists (LIST) * singly linked tail queues (STAILQ) * doubly linked tail queues (TAILQ) * doubly linked circular queues (CIRCLEQ)…
qtoptions – Common commandline options for all applications based on the Qt toolkit Synopsis Qt application [Qt Generic Options] Options The following options apply to all Qt(TM) applications: –display displayname Use the X-server display displayname. –session sessionId Restore the application for the given sessionId. –cmap Causes the application to install a private color map on…
qos – Quality of Service specification Description The text2qos and qos2text functions use the format described in this man page. Because all standard ATM tools on Linux use those functions to convert to or from the textual representation of QOS specifications, they expect them in the same format too. The most fundamental parameters are the…
qemu-qmp-ref – QEMU QMP Reference Manual Description Introduction This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP. Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage, QEMU‘s manual, etc) can and should be consulted. QMP has two…
qemu-cpu-models – QEMU / KVM CPU model configuration Synopsis QEMU / KVM CPU model configuration Description QEMU / KVM virtualization supports two ways to configure CPU models Host passthrough This passes the host CPU model features, model, stepping, exactly to the guest. Note that KVM may filter out some host CPU model features if they…
qemu-block-drivers – QEMU block drivers reference Synopsis QEMU block driver reference manual Description Disk image file formats QEMU supports many image file formats that can be used with VMs as well as with any of the tools (like "qemu-img"). This includes the preferred formats raw and qcow2 as well as formats that are supported for…
pty – pseudoterminal interfaces Description A pseudoterminal (sometimes abbreviated "pty") is a pair of virtual character devices that provide a bidirectional communication channel. One end of the channel is called the master; the other end is called the slave. The slave end of the pseudoterminal provides an interface that behaves exactly like a classical terminal….
