Information on Unix and OS/161

Rather than duplicate/retype information from the Wikis from past editions of CS 134, when possible I have decided to simply link to important information from the Wiki for those courses. This page contains useful hints on how to work with OS/161 and related software (including Subversion and Unix).

General Unix-Related Information

• SubversionHowTo: How Subversion works and how to use it.
• CscopeHowTo: How cscope works and how to use it
• ManualPages Various sources for Unix/POSIX manual pages
• UnixHowTo: How to customize the Linux environment. Ignore anything related to tcsh; you (thankfully) don't have to use it.

OS/161 et al

• Assignment Setup for how to prepare to do assignments on Knuth.
• How to build a toolchain for working with OS/161 on your own machine. (Warning: this can be time-consuming!)
• Coding conventions for OS/161. It is critical that you follow the existing conventions and style when working with a large code base; otherwise the code will quickly become an unreadable mess.
