Bookmark or Share- osx - Is Mac OS X UNIX? - Unix & Linux Stack ExchangeRe Linux-like userland: OS X's userland is closer to FreeBSD. Examples: OS X uses BSD find which requires the directory (it doesn't default to . as GNU find does); BSD commands lack --long-options; GNU commands have more options than in BSD; OS X lacks /proc; OS X's primary GUI is almost entirely different from Linux's (X11 is a mere sidecar on OS X); OS X's dynamic linkage system is entirely ...
- Understanding UNIX permissions and file typeschmod is a command in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It allows you to change the permissions (or access mode) of a file or directory. You can alter permissions in two different ways: - Text-based chmod - Number-based chmod. Text method
- How can I use a Bash-like shell on Windows? - Super UserCygwin aims to make porting Linux applications on Windows easy. If some C program was designed for Unix and expects to use features such as pipes, Unix-style file and directory access e.t.c. then you can compile it for Cygwin and Cygwin will act as a compatibility layer between the code and the foreign OS (Windows). This allows the same C ...
- Non-Windows, non-Unix-like OS's? - Super UserWhile X11 acts like an afterthought, all the CLI Unix is there once you open Terminal.app. I don't know about the development process, as Apple is rather secretive about such things. Still, they took advantage of the fact that MacOSX is Unix, basing the XCode development system on freely available Unix-based software.
- Is there a way to download pure Unix? - Unix & Linux Stack ExchangeYou can trace UNIX from there to either (closed-source) System V UNIX or BSD. If you want to go down the BSD path, FreeBSD is a good option. For a System V-like system, your only real free option would be OpenSolaris. But nowadays, Linux is as pure a unix-like system as any, with its own, even messier heritage. (You can get a taste of it here.)
