Activity 1

The Unix File System

Everything is a File in Unix

Types of Unix Files

There are Three Types of Files: Ordinary / Regular Files Directories Special Files – Internal representation

of a physical device (keyboard, printer, terminal)

The Tree-Structured File System

root (/)

bin dev etc lib lost+found sys tmp usr

bin games lib local spool

Common Unix Directories

/bin stores basic Unix programs/dev contains files that represent

devices/etc files for managing the system/lib contains libraries of programs /lost+found contains ‘misplaced’ files/sys contains system source files/tmp temporary storage/usr important directory – contains

many things

Unix Directories

Root Directory /

Your Home Directory /export/home/{userid}

$HOME variable Shows your current home directory print $HOME - display variable setting

Unix Directories

Present Working Directory

Your current location

-or-

Current Directory

Unix Commands: pwd

Use pwd to display the name of your current working directory

/export/home/morris07/> pwd

Present Working Directory

Absolute Path

Absolute Path

/export/home/morris07/labs

NOTE: These always start with a “/” from root.

Unix Commands: cd

Use cd to change your working directory

/export/home/morris07/> cd {directory name}

Absolute Path

Relative Path

If your pwd was

/export/home/morris07/

You could do:cd examples To move into the examples

subdirectory

Relative Path

Relative Path (Shorthand)

Single dot . Your current directoryDouble dot .. Your parent directory

cd . Takes you to where already are!

cd .. Takes you to the pwd’s parent directory.

cd ~ Takes you to your home directory

cd - Takes you to the previous directory

Relative Path

Unix Commands: ls

Use ls to list the contents of a directory

/export/home/morris07/> ls

/export/home/morris07/> ls –l * (long format)

/export/home/morris07/> ls –la * (long format, and list all entries including those

that begin with a “.”

Unix Commands: ls

/export/home/morris07/> ls –F * Flags directories with a “/” and executables with a

“*”

Using Wildcards:* Any string of characters? Any one character (not space)

[ ] Match any character in the brackets

Unix Commands: ls

Examples

ls *.c Lists all files ending with ‘.c’

ls file? Lists any file with file and one

character at the end

ls v[6,7]file Lists v6file and v7file

Unix Commands: ls

Using Relative Path in ls ls -al ..

Lists your parent directory

ls –al ~ Lists your home directory

Question/Answer Session

Activity 2

Unix Commands: touch

Use touch to change a file’s access time and modification time to the current date

/export/home/morris07/> touch {file name}

NOTE: If the file does not exist, touch will create a new file

Unix Commands: id

Use id to display your userid and groupid

/export/home/morris07/> id

Unix Commands: id

Unix Security

Login name and a password Encryption on important files Access permission

Encryption of files Text page 334 crypt

Description will make more sense after next week

Requires a key – do not forget the key

Access Permissions

Ordinary File Read: you can read from the file

Write: you can write to the file Execute: you can execute the file key

Directory Permissions

Directory Read

You can read the directory Write

You can create, move, copy or remove directory contents

Execute: You can search the directory

How Permissions are Managed

There are three Permission Groups:

Owner: Owner’s Group: Everyone Else/Other:

Permissions-rwxrwxrwx 1 morris07 student 512 Jan 12 14:07 file.exe-rw-rw- rw- 1 morris07 student 812 Jan 12 14:22 file.namedrw-rw-rw- 1 morris07 student 812 Jan 12 14:22 labs-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

r read permissionw write permissionx execute permission- permission not granted

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------owner group everybody At the far left, 1’st character rwx rwx rwx shows type of file. “-” ordinary

“d” is directory

Unix Commands: chmod

Use chmod to change the file-access permissions on an existing file

> chmod {mode} {file}

> chmod 777 file.name

Numeric Value of Permissions

FILE MODE, or MODE

read permission = 4 write permission = 2execute permission = 1 no permission = 0

To calculate the proper permissions you want to assign, simply add the numbers together:read + write + execute = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7

read + write = 4 + 2 = 6 …

chmod: Calculating the ModeNumber Meaning 400 Owner has read permission 200 Owner has write permission 100 Owner has execute permission 040 Group has read permission 020 Group has write permission 010 Group has execute permission 004 Everyone else has read permission 002 Everyone else has write permission 001 Everyone else has execute permission-------- 777

Numeric Value of Permissions

chmod 777 lab1 Allows rwx to everyone!

chmod 755 lab1 Allows rwx to user, and rx to group/others.

Or to deny group and others rwx permissions:

chmod 700 lab1

Symbolic-Mode File Permissions

Letters represent the groups and permissions:u = User, g = Group, o = Others+ or – To add or remove a permission from:r = Read, w = Write, x = Execute

chmod ugo+rwx lab1 Allows rwx to everyone!

Or to deny group and others rwx permissions:chmod go-rwx lab1

Unix Commands: chmod

Unix Commands: umask

Use umask to display or set the current value of the file-creation mask (default permissions, set in .profile)

/export/home/morris07/> umask

/export/home/morris07/> umask 022

umask: Calculating the umask

File Type Beginning File ModeNon-executable files 666Executable files 777Directories 777

From this initial mode, Unix subtracts the value of the umask.

For example, if I want a file permission of 644 on a regular file, the umask would need to be 022.

Unix Commands: cp

Use cp to copy the contents of one file to another file

cp {source file} {destination file}

> cp file1 file2 Copies the file to another file name

cp file1 ~/newdir/junk1 Copies the file1 to your home directory in the

directory newdir and renames the file to junk1 (newdir must already exist)

Unix Commands: mv

Use mv to move files to another directory or to a new name in the current directory

> mv {source file} {destination file}

> mv file1 file2 * Moves the file to another file name

> mv file1 newdir* Moves the file to another directory

Unix Commands: rmUse rm to remove files

> rm {file(s)}

> rm file1 file2

> rm –i file1 - Prompts for confirmation before removing the file

NOTE: You have to either be the owner of the file or have write permissions to the directory containing the file!

Unix Commands: mkdirUse mkdir to make a directory

> mkdir {directory}

> mkdir newdir

> mkdir –p newdir1/newdir2/newdir3

NOTE: You have to either be the owner of the file or have write permissions to the directory containing the new directory!

Unix Commands: rmdir

Use rmdir to remove a directory

> rmdir {directory}

> rmdir newdir

> rmdir –p newdir1/newdir2/newdir3only works if the directories become

empty

Break (10 Minutes)

Activity 3

Unix File Editors

vi (pronounced “vee-eye”) is a visual editor that was created by Bill Joy.

vi is a “right-handed” editor

Other Unix editors: pico, emacs

The vi Editor

Use vi to edit files

> vi {file}

NOTE: If the file does not already exist, vi will create it for you.

The vi Editor: Modes

vi has two different modes:

Command ModeIn Command Mode, the characters you type are interpreted as commands.

Input ModeIn Input Mode, everything you type is inserted into the editing buffer.

The vi Editor: Modes

vi starts in Command Mode by default

Type <Esc> to change from Input Mode to Command Mode

Hint: If you forget which mode you are in, hit the <Esc> key twice to get to Command Mode.

Hint: :set showmode will display the input mode in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

The vi Editor: Inserting Data

From Command Mode:

i changes to Input Mode: insert before current position

a changes to Input Mode: insert after current position

I changes to Input Mode: insert at start of current line

The vi Editor: Inserting Data

From Command Mode:

A changes to Input Mode: insert at end of current line

o changes to Input Mode: open below current line

O changes to Input Mode: open above current line

The vi Editor: Saving and Exiting

In Command Mode (colon commands)::w writes data to the file (saves changes):wq writes data to the file and quits:w filename writes buffer to the named file:q quits:q! quits without savingZZ quits and saves

The vi Editor: Moving the Cursor

In Command Mode:

h, move cursor one position to the left

j , move cursor one position downk , move cursor one position upl , move cursor one position to the

right


:set number:set nonumber:n <Return> Jump to line number nnG Jump to line number n1G Jump to first lineG Jump to the last line


w move cursor forward to first character of next word

<Return> Move cursor to beginning of next line

^F Move down one screenful^B Move up one screenful


0 move cursor to beginning of current line$ move cursor to end of current line

^ move cursor to first non-space/tab in the current line

- move cursor to beginning of previous line+ move cursor to beginning of next line

The vi Editor: Deleting Data

x delete character at cursorX delete character to left of cursorD delete from cursor to end of linedw delete one worddd delete the entire current line

The vi Editor: Replacing Data

r replace a single character at the cursor

ra* Replaces the current character with “a”

R replace characters by typing over

Rnew stuff* Replaces the text at cursor with “new stuff”

cw replace the word by typing over

The vi Editor: Copy and Paste

yy copies (yanks) the whole line to the buffer

p pastes data, insert before/above cursorP pastes data, insert after/below cursor

3yy* Copies (yanks) 3 lines

p* would paste the previously yanked lines at the

current cursor position!

The vi Editor: Cut and Paste

dd deletes a line (puts it in the buffer)p pastes data, after/below cursor

dd*Cuts

p*Pastes

The vi Editor: Searching

/{pattern} searches forwards for pattern in file/<Return> repeats forward search for pattern?{pattern} searches backwards for pattern in file?<Return> repeats backward search for pattern

n repeats search in same directionN repeats search in opposite direction

The vi Editor: Replacing

:s/{pattern}/{replace} Replaces a pattern*Only works on the first occurrence

:s/{pattern}/{replace}/g*Works on all occurrences in the current line

:%s/{pattern}/{replace}/g*Works on all occurrences in the file

:line#1,line#2,s/{pattern}/{replace} *Works on all occurrences between the line numbers

The vi Editor: Undo and Repeat

u undo last commandU restores the current line

. Repeat last command

The vi Editor: Bonus

J Join Lines

:!{command}<return> Pause vi, execute specified shell command.

:r !{command}<return> Insert output of command after current line

^L Redisplay the current screen.

The vi Editor: BonusHere is a helpful hint on controlling the length of lines in “vi” One-way to do this is to press <Enter> at the end of each

line. Pressing <Enter> will insert a newline character, which marks the end of the line.

You can automatically tell “vi” to let it break a line into two when it gets within “n” characters of the right margin. To have “vi” break your lines automatically when they get within 6 characters of the right margin, use the following command in “vi” (command mode):

:set wrapmargin=6or:set wm=6

The vi Editor: BonusThis is especially helpful when you are

typing a long paragraphs and don’t want it to be one continuous line.

If you don’t want to have to enter this “vi”

command every time you enter “vi”, you can put it in the .exrc file. This file, created by you, belongs in your home directory. “vi” will read and execute any commands that it finds in this file upon startup.

In the .exrc file you don’t need to start any commands with a colon (:).

The vi Editor: Bonus ~ (tilde) changes the case of the

current position

In Class Assignment #4

Login to einstein and copy file/export/home/morris07/examples/vitextinto your home directory. Open the fileusing ‘vi’. Follow the directions in the

file.Save the file and exit vi.

Change the permissions on file youcreated to allow rwx to user, and r togroup/others.

Wrap Up: What We Covered Unix file system structure File types and access permissions Create and use directories and files Edit files with vi Use the following Unix commands:

cd, chmod, cp, id, mkdir, mv, pwd, rm, rmdir, touch, umask, vi

Next Week Unix processes Redirection, pipes, and filters Unix utilities (e-mail, ftp, telnet) Use the following Unix commands:

elm, ftp, grep, jobs, kill, look, pine, ps, sort, spell, telnet, uniq, wc
