lowercase head is a Computer program program on Unix and Unix like systems used to display the first few lines of a text Computer file file or pipe computing pipe d data. The command syntax is head options < file name> By default, tt head tt will print the first 10 lines of its input to the standard output . The number of lines printed may be changed with a command line option. The following example shows the first 20 lines of filename head n 20 filename This displays the first 5 lines of all files starting with foo head n 5 foo Some versions omit the n and just let you say 5. Flags c x number of bytes Copy first x number of bytes.

The effect of code strip code can be achieved directly by the compiler . For instance, in GNU Compiler Collection this option is code s code .

Unix International or UI was an association created in 1988 to promote open standards, especially the Unix operating system . Its most notable members were AT&T and Sun Microsystems , and in fact the commonly accepted reason for its existence was as a counterbalance to the Open Software Foundation OSF , itself created in response to AT&T s and Sun s Unix partnership of that time. UI and OSF thus represented the two sides of the Unix Wars in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In May 1993, the major members of both UI and OSF announced the Common Open Software Environment COSE initiative. This was followed by the merging of UI and OSF into a new OSF in March 1994, which in turn merged with X Open in 1996, forming The Open Group .

User Time vs System Time The term user CPU time can be a bit misleading at first. To be clear, the total CPU time is the combination of the amount of time the CPU s spend performing some action for a program and the amount of time the CPU s spend performing system call s for the kernel computer science kernel on the program s behalf.

Bell Unix The Programmer s Workbench PWB UNIX was an early version of the Unix operating system created in the Bell Labs Computer Science Research Group of AT&T . Prior to 1976 Unix development at AT&T was a project of a small group of researchers in Department 1127 of Bell Labs . As the usefulness of Unix grew, the company decided to develop a version of Unix tailored to support programmer s in production work, not just research. The Programmer s Workbench was started in 1973, ref name Mashey John R. Mashey 2004 . http queue.acm.org detail.cfm?id 1039532 Languages, Levels, Libraries, and Longevity . ACM Queue 2 9 . ref by Evan Ivie and Rudd Canaday to support a computer center for a 1000 employee Bell Labs division, which would be the largest Unix site for several years. PWB UNIX was to provide tools for teams of programmers to manage their source code and collaborate on projects with other team members. While the PWB group managed their source code on Unix systems, programs were often written to run on other legacy operating systems. For this reason, PWB included software for Batch processing submitting jobs to IBM System 370 , UNIVAC 1100 series, and Scientific Data Systems XDS SDS Sigma 5 Sigma 5 computers. In 1978 PWB supported a user community of about 1100 users in the Business Information Systems Programs BISP group of Bell Labs. Two major releases of Programmer s Workbench were produced. PWB UNIX 1.0, released July 1, 1977 was based on Version 6 Unix PWB 2.0 was based on Version 7 Unix .

lowercase tt getty tt , short for get teletype , is a Unix program running on a host computer that manages physical or virtual Computer terminal terminals tty . When it detects a connection, it prompts for a username and runs the login program to authenticate the user. It is usually called by init . Originally, on traditional Unix systems, getty handled connections to serial terminals often teletype machines connected to a host computer. The tty part of the name stands for teletype, but has come to mean any type of text terminal . One getty process serves one terminal. In some systems, for example Solaris operating system Solaris , getty was replaced by ttymon. Personal computer s running Unix like operating system s, even if they do not provide any remote login services, may still use getty as a means of logging in on a local Virtual console PC virtual console . Instead of the login program, getty may also be set up by the system administrator to run any other program, for example a Point to Point Protocol PPP Daemon computer software daemon to provide dial up Internet access.

On Unix like computer systems, factor is a utility for Factorization factoring an integer into its prime factors . factor first appeared on Fifth Edition Unix 5th edition Research Unix in 1974, as a user maintained utility section 6 of the man page manual . In the Seventh Edition Unix 7th edition in 1979, it was moved into the main commands section of the manual section 1 . From there, the factor utility was copied to all other variants of Unix , including commercial Unixes and BSD . In some variants of Unix, it is classified as a game more than a serious utility, and therefore documented in section 6. A free software version of the factor utility was written for the GNU project by Paul Rubin , in 1986. It is now available on all Linux distributions as part of the GNU Core Utilities . In 2008, GNU factor started to use GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library GNU MP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, allowing it to factor integers of any length, not limited by the machine s native integer type .

The play is about Kafka, Milton, and Swift, three intelligent chimpanzees who are put in a cage together under the experimenting eye of a Unseen character never seen Dr. Rosenbaum, a scientist testing the hypothesis that three apes hitting keys at random on typewriters for an infinite amount of time will almost surely produce Hamlet a variation on the infinite monkey theorem . The show s title is a reference to a line from Shakespeare s play. The performance comprises the ape characters humorously confronting and conversing with each other in order to understand the purpose of the exercise put upon them. Although clearly a comedy, the ending tone of the play can differ much from production to production, and generally will depend on the actor s and director s interpretation of the Swift character.
