- Notes on Using the Scripts in This Subdirectory
-
- The scripts in this subdirectory are examples of post-processing
- lsof field output. They are written in AWK, Perl 4 (4.036), and
- Perl 5 (5.001e and 5.001m). AWK scripts have a suffix of ``.awk'';
- Perl 4 or Perl 5 scripts have a ``.perl'' suffix; and Perl 5 scripts,
- ``.perl5''.
-
- Supply AWK scripts to your AWK interpreter with its -f option. Supply
- lsof field output via a pipe -- e.g.,
-
- lsof -F | awk -f list_fields.awk
-
- The Perl scripts use the Unix command interpreter line feature to
- specify the location of Perl -- i.e., the first line begins with
- ``#!'' and the path to the Perl interpreter follows. If your system
- supports the command interpreter feature, but your Perl interpreters
- have different paths to them, just change the interpreter lines in
- the scripts. These scripts assume:
-
- Path to: Is:
- ======= ==
-
- Perl 4 /usr/local/bin/perl
-
- Perl 5 /usr/local/bin/perl5
-
- If your system doesn't support the command interpreter feature,
- you'll have to supply the scripts to your Perl interpreter on its
- command line -- e.g.,
-
- lsof -F | /<path_to_your_perl_4> list_fields.perl
-
- Some scripts also declare a path to lsof -- e.g., the count_pf.perl*
- ones -- as ``../lsof'' on the assumption that you'll run them from
- the scripts subdirectory and that an lsof executable is in ``../lsof''.
- If those assumptions are incorrect for you, you'll have to modify
- the scripts.
