<p>This wiki document a starting point of Ted's notes on Linux use and configuration, Open Source Software and web development. Recent summer 2017 efforts of Ted's are focused on several high-level programming language and web development frameworks, which can be studied and used separately but are often glued together to achieve meaningful tasks and end-user tools and interfaces.  This personal page of Ted's notes on Neela Nurseries wiki not yet well organized, but here as a quick stash point for holding useful references, and a starting point for more complete and formal documentation.</p>

Shell scripting and use of built-in shell commands is a practical knowledge to employ, when working in Unix-like environments.  One common task is to find all the instances of a given file or program.  The <code>locate</code> command can perform this kind of search, but it's results don't show whether the file instances differ.  To check at the rough level of file size, we can use a one-line shell script technique involving shell piping, to "long list" the results of the <code>locate</code> command, like this . . .
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
  $ for file in `locate tavrasm | grep 'asm$'`; do ls -l ${file}; done
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
Hmm strange, the above command calls `grep` with a pattern that ends in the shell end-of-line anchoring character $, and appears to filter for results of `locate` which end in 'asm'.  But on 2017-09-12 needed to add a "one or more wildcard" character pattern to limit search results for instances of `locate` results ending in 'qemu':
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
    $ locate qemu | grep '.*qemu$'
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
Why the apparent difference in command invocation?  Need to test . . . - TMH

WIKI WISH LIST - While adding to wiki, Ted noting that would be useful to have relative-depth wiki section markers.  The standard wiki section markers '== ==', '=== ===' and similar have fixed depth.  That is, '== ==' is always a top-level or first-level section in a wiki document, '=== ===' is always a sub-subsection of wiki documents, and '==== ====' a sub-sub-section.  When section gets re-factored into its own article, would be handy to have those section markers rise up to levels of top-most and successive section markers.  - TMH

- 2018-01-30 - Tuesday, picking up from last week researching how to redirect expect output and its spawned processes' output with filtering to log file.  The first reference here at Stackoverflow repeats the useful <code>lindex</code> syntax.  There is also mention of the <code>expect</code> manual and a syntax <code>$::env(action)</code> which can be expressed in an expect script to access an environment variable that is part of the controlling shell . . .

How to use expect's <code>log_file</code> key word in an expect script:
 +
*  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15965504/how-to-create-log-file-for-tcl-script
 +
 
 +
From the manual page for expect version 5.45:
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
<i>
 +
<pre>
 +
      log_file [args] [[-a] file]
 +
            If a filename is provided, log_file will record a transcript of the session (beginning at that point) in
 +
            the file.  log_file will stop recording if no argument is given.  Any previous log file is closed.
 +
 
 +
            Instead  of  a  filename,  a Tcl file identifier may be provided by using the -open or -leaveopen flags.
 +
            This is similar to the spawn command.  (See spawn for more info.)
 +
 
 +
            The -a flag forces output to be logged that was suppressed by the log_user command.
 +
 
 +
            By default, the log_file command appends to old files rather than truncating them, for  the  convenience
 +
            of  being  able  to  turn  logging off and on multiple times in one session.  To truncate files, use the
 +
            -noappend flag.
 +
 
 +
            The -info flag causes log_file to return a description of the most recent non-info arguments given.
 +
</pre>
 +
</i>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Also from the expect manual page, Expect Hints section:
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
<i>
 +
<pre>
 +
EXPECT HINTS
 +
      There are a couple of things about Expect that may be non-intuitive.  This section attempts to address some of
 +
      these things with a couple of suggestions.
 +
 
 +
      A common expect problem is how to recognize shell prompts.  Since these are customized differently by  differ-
 +
      ently  people and different shells, portably automating rlogin can be difficult without knowing the prompt.  A
 +
      reasonable convention is to have users store a regular expression describing their prompt (in particular,  the
 +
      end  of it) in the environment variable EXPECT_PROMPT.  Code like the following can be used.  If EXPECT_PROMPT
 +
      doesn't exist, the code still has a good chance of functioning correctly.
 +
 
 +
          set prompt "(%|#|\\$) $"          ;# default prompt
 +
          catch {set prompt $env(EXPECT_PROMPT)}
 +
 
 +
          expect -re $prompt
 +
 
 +
      I encourage you to write expect patterns that include the end of whatever you expect to see.  This avoids  the
 +
      possibility  of  answering a question before seeing the entire thing.  In addition . . .
 +
</pre>
 +
</i>
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
 
 +
The expect program has some built-in string buffers, and one of these may hold the latest characters received from a spawned process.  Here is a man page excerpt which shows use of one of these expect buffers:
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
<i>
 +
<pre>
 +
      disconnect
 +
            disconnects a forked process from the terminal.  It continues running in the background.  The process is
 +
            given its own process group (if possible).  Standard I/O is redirected to /dev/null.
 +
 
 +
            The following fragment uses disconnect to continue running the script in the background.
 +
 
 +
                if {[fork]!=0} exit
 +
                disconnect
 +
                . . .
 +
 
 +
            The following script reads a password, and then runs a program every hour that demands a  password  each
 +
            time  it is run.  The script supplies the password so that you only have to type it once.  (See the stty
 +
            command which demonstrates how to turn off password echoing.)
 +
 
 +
                send_user "password?\ "
 +
                expect_user -re "(.*)\n"
 +
                for {} 1 {} {
 +
                    if {[fork]!=0} {sleep 3600;continue}
 +
                    disconnect
 +
                    spawn priv_prog
 +
                    expect Password:
 +
                    send "$expect_out(1,string)\r"
 +
                    . . .
 +
                    exit
 +
                }
 +
</pre>
 +
</i>

</ul>

From the Tcl manual page on-line here is a clue about pattern matching in Tcl scripts, which may explain why we are struggling to obtain matched substrings from sequences of bytes from expect-spawned processes . . .
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
<i>
 +
<pre>
 +
    Note that in many editors, the ^ and $ match the beginning and end of lines respectively. However, because expect is not line oriented, these characters match the beginning and end of the data (as opposed to lines) currently in the expect matching buffer. (Also, see the note below on "system indigestion.")

Shell scripting and use of built-in shell commands is a really practical knowledge to employ, when working in Unix-like environments.  One common task is to find all the instances of a given file or program.  The <code>locate</code> command can perform this kind of search, but it's results don't show whether the file instances differ.  To check at the rough level of file size, we can use a one-line shell script technique involving shell piping, to "long list" the results of the <code>locate</code> command, like this . . .
 
  
 +
Excerpt on Tcl pattern matching from Inguza web site:
  
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
   $ for file in `locate tavrasm | grep 'asm$'`; do ls -l ${file}; done
+
2   Expect
 +
The expect suite actually consist just of a few commands: expect, send, spawn and interact and is an extension to TCL.
 +
Before the expect command can be used a program must be spawned, see expect commands below.
 +
expect \
 +
  {match1} {action1} \
 +
  {match2} {action2} \
 +
  {match3} {action3} \
 +
  {match4} {action4}
 +
It is possible that no such output is encountered within the time period defined by the timeout (variable name "timeout" in seconds, default to 2). In this case expect stops waiting and continues with the next command in the script.
 +
You can use '*' to match any characters. You can also match using [] syntax and similar.
 +
expect "\[a-f0-9]"  ; # strongly preferred as \n and similar is not taken as litteral charactesr \ and n.
 +
expect {a-f0-9}    ; # can also be used
 +
A note on \ characters. The pattern matcher translate \x to x but this is done once before the pattern matcher. So you need to type \\n to match n. This is especially important for * and ? characters.
 +
expect "*" ;# match anything (*)
 +
expect "\n" ;# match linefeed
 +
expect "\*" ;# match anything
 +
expect "\\*" ;# match * character
 +
expect "\\\*" ;# match * character
 +
expect "\\\\*" ;# match \ followed by anything
 +
expect "\\\\\*" ;# match \ followed by anything
 +
expect "\\\\\\*" ;# match \ followed * character
 +
The [ character is special to both tcl and the pattern matcher so it is especially messy.
 +
proc xy {} { return "n*w" }
 +
expect "[xy]" ;# match n followed by anything followed by w
 +
expect "\[xy]" ;# match x or y
 +
expect "\\[xy]" ;# match n followed by anything followed by w
 +
expect "\\\[xy]" ;# match [xy]
 +
expect "\\\\[xy]" ;# match \ followed by n followed ...
 +
expect "\\\\\[xy]" ;# match sequence of \ and then x or y.
 +
The expect command can also take flags. The default flag is -gl for glob pattern matching. It can also take the flag -re for regular expression matching.
 +
expect {
 +
  -re "a*" { action_when_a_followed_by_any_a }
 +
  "b*" { action_when_b_followed_by_anything }
 +
  -gl "-re" { action_when_real_dash_r_e }
 +
  eof { action_on_end_of_file }
 +
  timeout { action_on_command_timeout }
 +
  default { action_on_command_timeout_or_eof }
 +
  -re "(abc)*" { action_on_any_number_of_a_b_c }
 +
  -re "-?(0|\[1-9]\[0-9]*)?\\.?\[0-9]*" { action_on_float_or_integer }
 +
}
 +
You can also pass the pattern as a variable.
 +
set v2pats "pat2 act2"
 +
set v3pats "pat3 act3"
 +
expect pat1 act1 $v2pats $v3pats
 +
Observe that the following expect string is wrong as $v2pats and $v3pats is considered as two different arguments. It will try to match $v2pats as a pattern and $v3pats as an action. Instead build up a string and use the -brace flag. You can not use double quotes for that though, unless you use eval and then the -brace flag is not necessary. You also need to protect the pattern and action inside a [list x] or an extra brace if they contain whitespaces.
 +
2.1  Parentheses for feedback
 +
In the previous section, parantheses were used to group subpatterns together. They can also play another role. When a regular expression successfully matches a string each part of the string that matches a paranthensized subpattern is stored in "expect_out(1,string)" the second in "expect_out(2,string)" etc up to "expect_out(9,string)". The entire pattern matched is stored in "expect_out(0,string)". Everthing before the pattern and the pattern matched is stored in "expect_out(buffer)". The last two assignments work in glob pattern too.
 +
"a*((ab)*|b)"
 +
How is this passed to expect_out? It is quite simple. The entire string withing the first parenthesis is stored in 1 (which means up to end of string). The second fount parenthesis is stored in 2. Look for the left parenthesis to determine where the data is put.
 +
2.2  Flags
 +
-re
 +
-gl
 +
-nocase Ignore case. Do not use -nocase with uppercase characters in the pattern as it will never match.
 +
-notransfer Prevent expect from removing matching characters from the internal buffer. The characters can be matched repeatedly as long as this option is associated with the pattern. It can be abbreviated with "-n" when expect is running interactively.
 +
-brace Expect normally see the first argument as a pattern to match, but sometimes you want to give a list of patterns and actions to expect. You can then use -brace to expand the list before it is handled by expect.
 +
expect -brace { pat1 act1 pat2 act2 }
 +
This can be useful when building up lists of pattern to match with corresponding actions to do.
 +
-i n Use an alternative spawn_id. This applies to all patterns after the -i flag.
 +
expect {
 +
-i $ftp
 +
"ftp>" "exit"
 +
eof "exit"
 +
}
 +
You can also expect values from multiple spawned processes at the same time. At most one action can be executed just as expect normally do.
 +
expect {
 +
-i $ftp "ftp> " { ftp_action }
 +
-i $shell $prompt { shell_action }
 +
}
 +
There is an input buffer associated with each spawn id. So any output from ftp is kept separate from thta of the shell in the example above. When output appear on terminal it will be mixed, unless you expect one at a time or set log_user 0 and then wrote output explictly using send_user $expect_out(buffer). The process that did not match will keep its buffer until matched by next expect command.
 +
When the expect command match something it record the spawn_id to expect_out(spawn_id) so you can know which process that it matched against.
 +
You can also set the spawn_id definition to a list of spawn_ids.
 +
expect {
 +
  -i "$host1 $host2 $host3" $prompt {
 +
    an_action $expect_out(spawn_id)
 +
  }
 +
  eof exit
 +
  -i $host1 another_pattern {host1_action}
 +
}
 +
This example will do an_action if $prompt is matched agains any of the $hostnr, exit if end of file is matched against same list and do host1_action if matchina another_pattern from host1.
 +
2.3  Special patterns
 +
Note that these patcherns will only match if none of the '-gl', '-re' or '-ex' flags has been used.
 +
eof Match when end of file is reached.
 +
timeout Match when the timeout value has been reached.
 +
default Match when end of file or timeout is reached.
 +
full_buffer Match when no other pattern match and expect would otherwise throw away part of the input to make room fore more. When this matches, all of the unmatched input is moved to expect_out(buffer).
 +
null
 +
By default null characters are removed from the buffer before expect matching is done. This can be disabled using the remove_nulls command below. If it is disabled null characters will be matched using this special keyword. Null characters can not be matched inside a pattern as expect first look for null characters and then do pattern matching. If a null character is found the characters before it is skilled. These caracters can be found in expect_out(buffer).
 +
Since the null character is used internally to represent the end of a string unanchored patterns cannot be matched past a null. This is not a problem since null pattern can always be listed last.
 +

Hmm strange, the above command calls `grep` with a pattern that ends in the shell end-of-line anchoring character $, and appears to filter for results of `locate` which end in 'asm'.  But on 2017-09-12 needed to add a "one or more wildcard" character pattern to limit search results for instances of `locate` results ending in 'qemu':

=== [[#top|^]] C++ references ===
 +
 
 +
This section contains beginning level C++ issues and references.  Section here created by need to note some Qt5 related project elements, as Qt is based on C++.  First issue is to understand and document how to implement a QDialog object to act as a sensible dialog box, which can post run-time data to a larger Qt based application.  The first reference below mentions QDialog built-in class functions exec(), accept() and reject(), which appear to be the means to start and show, and to close out a Qt based dialog box . . .
 +
 
 +
<ul>
 +
*  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12470806/qdialog-exec-and-getting-result-value
 +
</ul>
 +
 
 +
Per help index in QtCreator 3.2.1:
 +
 
 +
<i>
 +
<pre>
 +
void QDialog::accept() [virtual slot]
 +
Hides the modal dialog and sets the result code to Accepted.
 +
 
 +
See also reject() and done().
 +
</pre>
 +
</i>
 +
 
  
 +
The Qt method <code>done()</code> performs more significant work and at least in cases of a dialog being shown with a call to <code>exec()</code> the done() method stops dialog event loop execution:
  
 +
<i>
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
$ locate qemu | grep '.*qemu$'
+
void QDialog::done(int r) [virtual slot]
 +
Closes the dialog and sets its result code to r. If this dialog is shown with exec(), done() causes the local event loop to finish, and exec() to return r.
 +
 
 +
As with QWidget::close(), done() deletes the dialog if the Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose flag is set. If the dialog is the application's main widget, the application terminates. If the dialog is the last window closed, the QApplication::lastWindowClosed() signal is emitted.
 +
 
 +
See also accept(), reject(), QApplication::activeWindow(), and QApplication::quit().
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
 +
</i>
 +
 +
 +
So it looks like if we do not call done() then we want to assure that we call exec() only one time during a use session of GWN Unified Tester.  - TMH

The version of qemu which installed from Debian's package list didn't seem to work.  It's been some weeks now since trying that instance, but qemu 2.10.0 works to bring up a command line image built for RaspberryPi.  Here are the versions of the two qemu instances:

Yesterday could not bring up raspbian image in qemu, same image which booted and appeared, and permitted shell based login and shell use a month ago on the local host.  Looking at a new on-line reference for running raspbian images in qemu:

This above article looks really interesting, appears to go to a second installment of the article where the developers there are building some kind of cloud-based or cloud involved web, database, mail and PHP servers.  But on my end having trouble with a kernel panic this morning when invoking qemu-system-arm with a large set of options . . . ok, just located a different invocation of qemu-system-arm version 2.10.0, noting here in following code figure:

The final token <code>rpi.img</code> points to <code>localhost:/home/user/Downloads/raspberrypi/2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch-lite.img</code> which we downloaded from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/.  The working qemu invocation doesn't open qemu's native window, but puts to standard out that is the same shell in which qemu invoked, a couple of lines of output from the booting kernel image.  Then using remmina we connect via "VNC server running on ::1:5900".
 +
 +
In summary shell script in latest figure successfully invokes qemu-system-arm 2.10.0 built from sources about August 2017, and boots up Raspbian Stretch lite image and kernel named kernel-qemu-4.4.34-jessie.  Next figure is screenshot showing successful login, and last login message . . . though emulation was and is very slow on host system!

Search for Toradex asymmetric core 'system on a module' board:
 +
 +
*  [https://docs.toradex.com/104446-colibri-arm-som-imx6ull-datasheet.pdf 104446-colibri-arm-som-imx6ull-datasheet.pdf] . . . looks like this may be only single core, not dual heterogeneous core
 +
 +
It looks like Colibri iMX7S and iMX7D are two-core and three-core processor based modules, with asymmetric cores to handle different kinds of data processing more efficiently,
 +
 +
*  Toradex PN: 00391100 - Colibri iMX7 Dual 1GB | V1.1A
 +
*  Toradex PN: 01351101 - Iris carrier board
 +
 +
 +
Looks like the Iris carrier board is a smaller form, less featured but more economical carrier board to support use of iMX7D/S systems on modules:

Excerpt from this page:
 +
 +
<i>
 +
"Planting Instructions
 +
 +
1. Cacti, agaves, and tap-rooted succulents (Aloinopsis, Titanopsis, Nananthus) should be transplanted bare-root. Let the soil in the pot dry out for a few days. Then remove the pot and gently loosen the soil so it falls away from the roots. Trim off any broken roots. Bare root plants should then be planted into a shallow hole. Spread out the roots evenly and sprinkle the soil into the hole until full. The base of the plant should rest on top of the soil. Mulch with a 1⁄2”-1” thick layer of pea-sized gravel around the base of the plant to protect it from contact with soggy soil over the winter months. (See planting diagram on page 12 of our Planting Guide.)

↑ ↓ Bash Shell Scripting

Bash (Bourne shell) Quick Reference: 

Shell Built-in Variables:

   $0    Name of given shell script itself
   $1    Value of first command line parameter (similarly $2, $3, ...)
   $#    In given shell script the number of command line parameters received
   $*    All of the command line parameters
   $-    Options given to the shell
   $?    Return (or holds) the exit status of the last command
   $$    Process id of given script (really the id of the shell running the script)


Shell test constructs:

SYNTAX      NAME OF SHELL TEST                                NOTES

[           built-in test                                     considers its arguments as comparison expressions or file tests

[[...]]     in Bash => 2.02 the extended test command

((...))     arithmetic tests                                  example:  (( 0 && 1 ))  # Logical AND

References:


Shell scripting and use of built-in shell commands is a practical knowledge to employ, when working in Unix-like environments. One common task is to find all the instances of a given file or program. The locate command can perform this kind of search, but it's results don't show whether the file instances differ. To check at the rough level of file size, we can use a one-line shell script technique involving shell piping, to "long list" the results of the locate command, like this . . . 

  $ for file in `locate tavrasm | grep 'asm$'`; do ls -l ${file}; done

Hmm strange, the above command calls `grep` with a pattern that ends in the shell end-of-line anchoring character $, and appears to filter for results of `locate` which end in 'asm'. But on 2017-09-12 needed to add a "one or more wildcard" character pattern to limit search results for instances of `locate` results ending in 'qemu': 

    $ locate qemu | grep '.*qemu$'

Why the apparent difference in command invocation? Need to test . . . - TMH


Command to break out first ten $PATH environment variable to individual paths each shown on a line of the shell: 

    $ for path in `echo $PATH | cut -d':' -f1-10 --output-delimiter=' '`; do echo $path; done

2018-04-23 - Monday, command to obtain summary of directories containing 1GB or more data: 

    $ du -h . | grep [0-9]G

WIKI WISH LIST - While adding to wiki, Ted noting that would be useful to have relative-depth wiki section markers. The standard wiki section markers '== ==', '=== ===' and similar have fixed depth. That is, '== ==' is always a top-level or first-level section in a wiki document, '=== ===' is always a sub-subsection of wiki documents, and '==== ====' a sub-sub-section. When section gets re-factored into its own article, would be handy to have those section markers rise up to levels of top-most and successive section markers. - TMH



↑ ↓ example shell script - back up several databases

 
Here is a simple shell script to call mysqldump utility and back up several databases. Couple of things Ted wants to add to this script include script variables to hold back-up filename prefix and infix patterns, and an option to compress the MYSQL dump files . . .

Figure x - shell script to back-up multiple MYSQL databases 


#!/bin/bash


DATABASE_LIST="information_schema mysql drupal_8p0 phpmyadmin wiki_database"

user="root"
pass_phrase_for_mysql="mysql_user_password"
options_extra="--skip-lock-tables"

response="n"

mode_interactive="n"



echo "shell script starting,"



for database in ${DATABASE_LIST};
do echo "backing up alta-ubuntu database $database . . .";

#    command="mysqldump --databases $database -u$user -p$pass_phrase_for_mysql $options_extra >> au-database-back-up--${database}.sql"
    command="mysqldump --databases $database -u$user -p$pass_phrase_for_mysql $options_extra"
    redirect="au-database-back-up--${database}.sql"

    if [ $mode_interactive = 'y' ]; then

        echo "build command '$command' and database back-up filename'$redirect',"
        echo "full command will be '$command' > '$redirect',"
        echo "trying running this command and redirect? [y/N/q]  yes, no, 'q' to quit"

        read response
        if [ $response = 'Y' -o $response = 'y' ]; then
            ${command} > $redirect
        elif [ $response = 'N' -o $response = 'n' ]; then
            echo "skipping present command . . ."
        elif [ $response = 'Q' -o $response = 'q' ]; then
            echo "stopping script '$0' and exiting."
            break
        fi
        echo

    else

        echo "$0:  backing up database '$database' to file '$redirect' . . ."
        ${command} > $redirect
        ls -l $redirect

    fi

done


echo "done."

exit 0

↑ ↓ show kernel version script

Following script 'showkversion' can be used in a Linux kernel source tree to determine the kernel's version number, based on the number elements defined in the kernel's top level makefile.

Some 'expect' utility references:

Good short examples covering range of tasks here at Robert Elder blog page, noting md5sum expect script example . . .

How to capture specific results during an expect script's execution:


- 2018-01-30 - Tuesday, picking up from last week researching how to redirect expect output and its spawned processes' output with filtering to log file. The first reference here at Stackoverflow repeats the useful lindex syntax. There is also mention of the expect manual and a syntax $::env(action) which can be expressed in an expect script to access an environment variable that is part of the controlling shell . . .

How to use expect's log_file key word in an expect script:

From the manual page for expect version 5.45: 

           log_file [args] [[-a] file]
             If a filename is provided, log_file will record a transcript of the session (beginning at that point) in
             the file.  log_file will stop recording if no argument is given.  Any previous log file is closed.

             Instead  of  a  filename,  a Tcl file identifier may be provided by using the -open or -leaveopen flags.
             This is similar to the spawn command.  (See spawn for more info.)

             The -a flag forces output to be logged that was suppressed by the log_user command.

             By default, the log_file command appends to old files rather than truncating them, for  the  convenience
             of  being  able  to  turn  logging off and on multiple times in one session.  To truncate files, use the
             -noappend flag.

             The -info flag causes log_file to return a description of the most recent non-info arguments given.


Also from the expect manual page, Expect Hints section: 

    EXPECT HINTS
       There are a couple of things about Expect that may be non-intuitive.  This section attempts to address some of
       these things with a couple of suggestions.

       A common expect problem is how to recognize shell prompts.  Since these are customized differently by  differ-
       ently  people and different shells, portably automating rlogin can be difficult without knowing the prompt.  A
       reasonable convention is to have users store a regular expression describing their prompt (in particular,  the
       end  of it) in the environment variable EXPECT_PROMPT.  Code like the following can be used.  If EXPECT_PROMPT
       doesn't exist, the code still has a good chance of functioning correctly.

           set prompt "(%|#|\\$) $"          ;# default prompt
           catch {set prompt $env(EXPECT_PROMPT)}

           expect -re $prompt

       I encourage you to write expect patterns that include the end of whatever you expect to see.  This avoids  the
       possibility  of  answering a question before seeing the entire thing.  In addition . . .


The expect program has some built-in string buffers, and one of these may hold the latest characters received from a spawned process. Here is a man page excerpt which shows use of one of these expect buffers: 

           disconnect
             disconnects a forked process from the terminal.  It continues running in the background.  The process is
             given its own process group (if possible).  Standard I/O is redirected to /dev/null.

             The following fragment uses disconnect to continue running the script in the background.

                 if {[fork]!=0} exit
                 disconnect
                 . . .

             The following script reads a password, and then runs a program every hour that demands a  password  each
             time  it is run.  The script supplies the password so that you only have to type it once.  (See the stty
             command which demonstrates how to turn off password echoing.)

                 send_user "password?\ "
                 expect_user -re "(.*)\n"
                 for {} 1 {} {
                     if {[fork]!=0} {sleep 3600;continue}
                     disconnect
                     spawn priv_prog
                     expect Password:
                     send "$expect_out(1,string)\r"
                     . . .
                     exit
                 }

↑ ↓ edit point - Tcl pattern matching and anchoring, symbols ^ and $ wrt data not lines

From the Tcl manual page on-line here is a clue about pattern matching in Tcl scripts, which may explain why we are struggling to obtain matched substrings from sequences of bytes from expect-spawned processes . . . 

        Note that in many editors, the ^ and $ match the beginning and end of lines respectively. However, because expect is not line oriented, these characters match the beginning and end of the data (as opposed to lines) currently in the expect matching buffer. (Also, see the note below on "system indigestion.")


Tcl regular expression syntax:


Expect variables, using global and upvar keywords in Tcl scripts:


Excerpt on Tcl pattern matching from Inguza web site: 

2   Expect
The expect suite actually consist just of a few commands: expect, send, spawn and interact and is an extension to TCL.
Before the expect command can be used a program must be spawned, see expect commands below.
expect \
  {match1} {action1} \
  {match2} {action2} \
  {match3} {action3} \
  {match4} {action4}
It is possible that no such output is encountered within the time period defined by the timeout (variable name "timeout" in seconds, default to 2). In this case expect stops waiting and continues with the next command in the script.
You can use '*' to match any characters. You can also match using [] syntax and similar.
expect "\[a-f0-9]"  ; # strongly preferred as \n and similar is not taken as litteral charactesr \ and n.
expect {a-f0-9}     ; # can also be used
A note on \ characters. The pattern matcher translate \x to x but this is done once before the pattern matcher. So you need to type \\n to match n. This is especially important for * and ? characters.
expect "*" ;# match anything (*)
expect "\n" ;# match linefeed
expect "\*" ;# match anything
expect "\\*" ;# match * character
expect "\\\*" ;# match * character
expect "\\\\*" ;# match \ followed by anything
expect "\\\\\*" ;# match \ followed by anything
expect "\\\\\\*" ;# match \ followed * character
The [ character is special to both tcl and the pattern matcher so it is especially messy.
proc xy {} { return "n*w" }
expect "[xy]" ;# match n followed by anything followed by w
expect "\[xy]" ;# match x or y
expect "\\[xy]" ;# match n followed by anything followed by w
expect "\\\[xy]" ;# match [xy]
expect "\\\\[xy]" ;# match \ followed by n followed ...
expect "\\\\\[xy]" ;# match sequence of \ and then x or y.
The expect command can also take flags. The default flag is -gl for glob pattern matching. It can also take the flag -re for regular expression matching.
expect {
  -re "a*" { action_when_a_followed_by_any_a }
  "b*" { action_when_b_followed_by_anything }
  -gl "-re" { action_when_real_dash_r_e }
  eof { action_on_end_of_file }
  timeout { action_on_command_timeout }
  default { action_on_command_timeout_or_eof }
  -re "(abc)*" { action_on_any_number_of_a_b_c }
  -re "-?(0|\[1-9]\[0-9]*)?\\.?\[0-9]*" { action_on_float_or_integer }
}
You can also pass the pattern as a variable.
set v2pats "pat2 act2"
set v3pats "pat3 act3"
expect pat1 act1 $v2pats $v3pats
Observe that the following expect string is wrong as $v2pats and $v3pats is considered as two different arguments. It will try to match $v2pats as a pattern and $v3pats as an action. Instead build up a string and use the -brace flag. You can not use double quotes for that though, unless you use eval and then the -brace flag is not necessary. You also need to protect the pattern and action inside a [list x] or an extra brace if they contain whitespaces.
2.1   Parentheses for feedback
In the previous section, parantheses were used to group subpatterns together. They can also play another role. When a regular expression successfully matches a string each part of the string that matches a paranthensized subpattern is stored in "expect_out(1,string)" the second in "expect_out(2,string)" etc up to "expect_out(9,string)". The entire pattern matched is stored in "expect_out(0,string)". Everthing before the pattern and the pattern matched is stored in "expect_out(buffer)". The last two assignments work in glob pattern too.
"a*((ab)*|b)"
How is this passed to expect_out? It is quite simple. The entire string withing the first parenthesis is stored in 1 (which means up to end of string). The second fount parenthesis is stored in 2. Look for the left parenthesis to determine where the data is put.
2.2   Flags
-re	
-gl	
-nocase	Ignore case. Do not use -nocase with uppercase characters in the pattern as it will never match.
-notransfer	Prevent expect from removing matching characters from the internal buffer. The characters can be matched repeatedly as long as this option is associated with the pattern. It can be abbreviated with "-n" when expect is running interactively.
-brace	Expect normally see the first argument as a pattern to match, but sometimes you want to give a list of patterns and actions to expect. You can then use -brace to expand the list before it is handled by expect.
expect -brace { pat1 act1 pat2 act2 }
This can be useful when building up lists of pattern to match with corresponding actions to do.
-i n	Use an alternative spawn_id. This applies to all patterns after the -i flag.
expect {
 -i $ftp
 "ftp>" "exit"
 eof "exit"
}
You can also expect values from multiple spawned processes at the same time. At most one action can be executed just as expect normally do.
expect {
 -i $ftp "ftp> " { ftp_action }
 -i $shell $prompt { shell_action }
}
There is an input buffer associated with each spawn id. So any output from ftp is kept separate from thta of the shell in the example above. When output appear on terminal it will be mixed, unless you expect one at a time or set log_user 0 and then wrote output explictly using send_user $expect_out(buffer). The process that did not match will keep its buffer until matched by next expect command.
When the expect command match something it record the spawn_id to expect_out(spawn_id) so you can know which process that it matched against.
You can also set the spawn_id definition to a list of spawn_ids.
expect {
  -i "$host1 $host2 $host3" $prompt {
    an_action $expect_out(spawn_id)
  }
  eof exit
  -i $host1 another_pattern {host1_action}
}
This example will do an_action if $prompt is matched agains any of the $hostnr, exit if end of file is matched against same list and do host1_action if matchina another_pattern from host1.
2.3   Special patterns
Note that these patcherns will only match if none of the '-gl', '-re' or '-ex' flags has been used.
eof	Match when end of file is reached.
timeout	Match when the timeout value has been reached.
default	Match when end of file or timeout is reached.
full_buffer	Match when no other pattern match and expect would otherwise throw away part of the input to make room fore more. When this matches, all of the unmatched input is moved to expect_out(buffer).
null	
By default null characters are removed from the buffer before expect matching is done. This can be disabled using the remove_nulls command below. If it is disabled null characters will be matched using this special keyword. Null characters can not be matched inside a pattern as expect first look for null characters and then do pattern matching. If a null character is found the characters before it is skilled. These caracters can be found in expect_out(buffer).
Since the null character is used internally to represent the end of a string unanchored patterns cannot be matched past a null. This is not a problem since null pattern can always be listed last.

^ C++ references

This section contains beginning level C++ issues and references. Section here created by need to note some Qt5 related project elements, as Qt is based on C++. First issue is to understand and document how to implement a QDialog object to act as a sensible dialog box, which can post run-time data to a larger Qt based application. The first reference below mentions QDialog built-in class functions exec(), accept() and reject(), which appear to be the means to start and show, and to close out a Qt based dialog box . . .

Per help index in QtCreator 3.2.1: 

void QDialog::accept() [virtual slot]
Hides the modal dialog and sets the result code to Accepted.

See also reject() and done().


The Qt method done() performs more significant work and at least in cases of a dialog being shown with a call to exec() the done() method stops dialog event loop execution: 

void QDialog::done(int r) [virtual slot]
Closes the dialog and sets its result code to r. If this dialog is shown with exec(), done() causes the local event loop to finish, and exec() to return r.

As with QWidget::close(), done() deletes the dialog if the Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose flag is set. If the dialog is the application's main widget, the application terminates. If the dialog is the last window closed, the QApplication::lastWindowClosed() signal is emitted.

See also accept(), reject(), QApplication::activeWindow(), and QApplication::quit().


So it looks like if we do not call done() then we want to assure that we call exec() only one time during a use session of GWN Unified Tester. - TMH

↑ ↓ QEMU Emulator

Overview

Notes on QEMU, an emulator which can help with building and configuring Linux systems to run on embedded computers and development boards. Ted noting 2017-09-08 that to compile today's latest QEMU source, a 2.10.x release, needed to install Debian stretch packages pkg-config, libglib2.0-dev, dhautoreconf. Here are some links to downloading QEMU project sources, a manual for using QEMU, and an article about emulating a RaspberryPi system by using QEMU:


References:

QEMU to emulate Arm on Linux . . .

How to avoid "raw image format" warning . . .


So got QEMU 2.10.0 sources and dependencies installed, ran `configure` and `make` steps, and let the build process run for an hour or two. But in the end could not find any `qemu` executable. Why is the emulator itself apparently missing? Building latest QEMU under Linux . . .


So I'm following the above article author's typical build steps, and run into this message part-way down those steps, at the step of calling `make`: 

user@host-6:~/Downloads/qemu/qemu-2.10.0/bin/debug/native$ make
Makefile:21: *** This is an out of tree build but your source tree (/home/veris/Downloads/qemu/qemu-2.10.0) seems to have been used for an in-tree build. You can fix this by running "make distclean && rm -rf *-linux-user *-softmmu" in your source tree.  Stop.
user@host-6:~/Downloads/qemu/qemu-2.10.0/bin/debug/native$


Ok interesting, I know that QEMU is a complicated project with a complex build process, but clearly I don't know what I'm doing. Following the above 'distclean' command given in the error message from QEMU's makefile, I'm now able to begin an "out of tree" build as described in the "Building QEMU" article at qemu.org just above. Tired already however of QEMU project builds taking more than an hour to complete. Here is one of many articles describing how to invoke `make` to build only limited parts of QEMU project, for example just the pieces needed to emulate ARM type systems:



Ted to test this type of build soon . . .

On a different note, QEMU build has completed and the stock RaspberryPi Debian "Stretch" image is coming up. Needed to install a VNC client to interact with the emulated RaspberryPi operating and software, stored in the downloaded .img file from Rpi's web site. Here's a link to a forum post which clued Ted into Remmina VNC client:

Yesterday could not bring up raspbian image in qemu, same image which booted and appeared, and permitted shell based login and shell use a month ago on the local host. Looking at a new on-line reference for running raspbian images in qemu: 


  *  https://ownyourbits.com/2017/02/06/raspbian-on-qemu-with-network-access/


This above article looks really interesting, appears to go to a second installment of the article where the developers there are building some kind of cloud-based or cloud involved web, database, mail and PHP servers. But on my end having trouble with a kernel panic this morning when invoking qemu-system-arm with a large set of options . . . ok, just located a different invocation of qemu-system-arm version 2.10.0, noting here in following code figure:

The final token rpi.img points to localhost:/home/user/Downloads/raspberrypi/2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch-lite.img which we downloaded from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/. The working qemu invocation doesn't open qemu's native window, but puts to standard out that is the same shell in which qemu invoked, a couple of lines of output from the booting kernel image. Then using remmina we connect via "VNC server running on ::1:5900".

↑ ↓ Embedded Linux Notes, focus on Rpi Linux Kernel Config

2018-11-09 - Ted to create embedded work article on this wiki installation, so noting this Friday evening. - TMH

Ted looking into a couple of areas of embedded Linux, including custom kernel config for Rpi, the open source Buildroot project, Tiny-Core Linux and FreeRTOS. Ted also stashing some links to embedded studies notes on this wiki here:

FreeRTOS notes

Ted to move this link to nn wiki article named 'FreeRTOS'. For now however Ted noting an openssl library named Wolfssl:


NOTE 2017-12-10: this section 'embedded operating systems' to become a shorter list of major significant embedded OS's. As of 2017 winter Ted studying couple distributions of embedded Linux and FreeRTOS.



↑ ↓ Bootloader U-Boot

Ted noting after several custom Linux-for-Rpi kernel build attempts that Raspberry Pi board uses a bootloader typically other than GRUB, commonly uses U-boot. A first tutorial . . . also running into U-boot sources makefile calling a project script which fails to find gcc-6, though /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink to that newer gcc . . .


After installing manually some twenty or thirty gcc-6-arm-linux and gcc-6, gcc-7 files, and installing more modern version of build-essentials package from Ubuntu release codenamed 'bionic', can now build u-boot. Tail of messages from build process . . .

Search for Toradex asymmetric core 'system on a module' board:

It looks like Colibri iMX7S and iMX7D are two-core and three-core processor based modules, with asymmetric cores to handle different kinds of data processing more efficiently,

  • Toradex PN: 00391100 - Colibri iMX7 Dual 1GB | V1.1A
  • Toradex PN: 01351101 - Iris carrier board


Looks like the Iris carrier board is a smaller form, less featured but more economical carrier board to support use of iMX7D/S systems on modules:

      Excerpt from this page: "Planting Instructions 1. Cacti, agaves, and tap-rooted succulents (Aloinopsis, Titanopsis, Nananthus) should be transplanted bare-root. Let the soil in the pot dry out for a few days. Then remove the pot and gently loosen the soil so it falls away from the roots. Trim off any broken roots. Bare root plants should then be planted into a shallow hole. Spread out the roots evenly and sprinkle the soil into the hole until full. The base of the plant should rest on top of the soil. Mulch with a 1⁄2”-1” thick layer of pea-sized gravel around the base of the plant to protect it from contact with soggy soil over the winter months. (See planting diagram on page 12 of our Planting Guide.)
