SCO updateSCO updatePosted Nov 20, 2003 3:01 UTC (Thu) by freethinker (guest, #4397)Parent article: SCO update Many people wondered why the files were listed in this sort of "flattened" form until it was pointed out that SCO's Unix offerings lack a version of "grep" which can do recursive searches. They had to have some poor intern rename all of the files into a single directory so that they could search through them. And, it being SCO, it's hardly surprising no one thought to use find and xargs.

SCO update Posted Nov 20, 2003 9:38 UTC (Thu) by Liefting (subscriber, #8466) [Link] xargs? That's for the seriously advanced administrators; you need to be an SMP developer to be able to use that. Does SCO have any?Less efficient, but easier to understand is find /usr/src/linux -type f -exec grep -l SMP {} \; But even that is something they didn't came up with. Geez, are these guys really claiming to be the owners of UNIX?
SCO update Posted Nov 21, 2003 5:53 UTC (Fri) by error27 (subscriber, #8346) [Link] These simplified commands were stolen from a post by Newsome on Groklaw:egrep -wilr --include "*.[ch]" 'smp|rcu|numa' * > /tmp/output1 find fs/jfs -type f -path "*.[ch]" >> /tmp/output1 egrep -v 'alpha|parisc|sparc|sound|drivers' /tmp/output1 \\ They generate the SCO list almost exactly except it includes
SCO update Posted Nov 20, 2003 10:27 UTC (Thu) by hppnq (guest, #14462) [Link] It makes you wonder how they struggled to create the list. What I wouldn't give to have been in that room! ;-)
