great playlist of videos! for some reason it doesn't have an order in UA-cam, can you please list the reasonable order in which one should watch the videos? Thanks a lot!
Some videos on the channel don't have an order in which they should be watched although this one does and it's in the Unix Processes playlist: code-vault.net/course/46qpfr4tkz:1603732431896 or on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/play/PLfqABt5AS4FkW5mOn2Tn9ZZLLDwA3kZUY.html
Family of exec function is not working in visual studio on Windows connected to WSL UBUNTU Linux . Fork() is working fine but exec family is not working neither it is showing any error it's just ignored in program 😦 Please help is, there anything with directory @CodeVault
well done. Could you give a link at the end of your video to the next video, please? And when you mention some previous lessons, please, also make a link. It is easier to navigate than just keep watching videos in a random order. Thank you.
Remember: The exec arguments you pass in are actually the argv for the program you're launching. So, even trying to pass "&" like so: execlp("ping", "ping", "-c", "3", "google.com", "&", NULL); Wouldn't work because it would be passed to the ping program and ping wouldn't know what to do with it, thus giving an error. "ping google.com &" in a terminal is a bash script that does more than just executing one program. Bash knows that '&' isn't supposed to be sent to ping and treats it in a special way so it executes the program without passing that '&' and then moves that program to the background.
The VSCode instance is actually a remote connection to a Linux machine I do use Linux as my desktop dev environment although I am not confident on the recording aspect... it has some weird quirks. I might give it a try at some point
@@CodeVault You're right and I always love how your videos are portable hahah many people don't take the time to explain which library you should use for different OS.
The first "ping" is the program's name. Everything else is what the argv array will be in that program's main function. By standard you have to pass the name (or the full path) of the executable as the first element in that argv array
You just explained everything i needed to know to do my project at school-42 thanks a lot 😁

There's a playlist available on our site: code-vault.net/course/46qpfr4tkz:1603732431896/lesson/as15alvu0a:1603732432433

I can't ping, I wrote the code you wrote execl().. but nothing happens when I execute my program. It says ping: socket: operation not permitted.
Ah right.... I got this issue as well. My quick solution was to just run the process as root
curiosity: would it work if i used exec() and pass "&" as an argument to skip forking?
Pass & as an argument to what?
Remember: The exec arguments you pass in are actually the argv for the program you're launching.
So, even trying to pass "&" like so:
execlp("ping", "ping", "-c", "3", "google.com", "&", NULL);

Grande, muy bien explicado!
Now I understand why node js use exec function in child process module . That is aswom
Very useful and explicative!
how we can execute a process in background, like using "&" in terminal?
There's this video on the topic, hope it helps: ua-cam.com/video/7ud2iqu9szk/v-deo.html
I love your videos keep it up! Although I would love them more if you used Linux hahahahahah Cheers!

thx fot this video ,
Q: how can i execute a process in the background ?
What do you mean by: "in the background"?
@@CodeVault run the process in the terminal without blocking by put (&) in the end of the command
Ex: firefox&
can this be done in windows visual studio code or is a linux system a requirement
This is basically only for Linux (and Mac). But you can install WSL on Windows and execute the code through that
Awesome... well explained.
Thanks for video
good asf
why do you write "ping", "pong", 2 times and it works ?
The first "ping" is the program's name. Everything else is what the argv array will be in that program's main function. By standard you have to pass the name (or the full path) of the executable as the first element in that argv array
@codevault I want to execute multiple programs not just one,
one after another using fork and exec
One way to do that is call bash and have it execute a shell script which in turn calls the programs. Or do multiple forks.
Thank you!!
thanks bro
make a video using execve instead of execlp and use it for simulate a pipe from shell, plis u.u
There's actually already a video on this topic. You can find it here: code-vault.net/lesson/oxyoxbvnak:1603732432935
