environment variables
|
| |
Hello, If I have an rc script and I don't specify any rfork in it, then the namespace and the environment should be shared. So, having an 'a' script ...a = hello cd c #later on... and a 'b' script: ...a echo $a and running the 'b' script, I'd expect that the 'a' variable would be set to 'hello' and written out. But it does not work like that, thanks to some... more »

9P libraries for Go

|
| |
amuzing bug 'o the day. while 9c isn't in the standard distribution, if one has OS=9* and does a mk clean in /sys/src/cmd/fossil, you will remove 9.h since 9.h looks like a temporary name for a command named "h" for the power64 architecture. - erik
