* Unix_Concepts: Only mark up I/O operations as code and not commaHEADmasterPaul Menzel2024-04-24
| | | | | | | Currently, the spacing is a little off, because the comma is also marked up as code. So only mark up the I/O operations. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll <maan@tuebingen.mpg.de>
* Improve explanation of fifos.Andre Noll2024-01-24
| | | | | | | | | Fifos are introduced as one of the seven file types but the explanation given there does not include typical use cases. Add a paragraph about fifos in the section on pipes and redirections to elaborate a little how fifos facilitate inter process communication. Suggested-by: Andrea Movilli <andrea.movilli@tuebingen.mpg.de>

* Initial commit.Andre Noll2020-01-10
These files were created 2015 and orginally contained only the material that was used for the Unix courses held back then at the MPI for development biology in Tübingen. Over time, more content was added and existing contents have been improved. Development was tracked within the non-public "user-info" git repository that also contains unrelated contents for internal use within the institute. In 2019-12 the title was changed to "Advanced Problems in the Linux Environment" and the pages were made public. To give interested readers access to the source code, contents were moved to a dedicated repository that was made public in 2020-01. No attempts were made to filter out the 269 commits of the user-info repo that touched the files of the unix course.
