You can also put the input file direction first, if that makes the overall command easier for you to parse. So you can write
</dev/random fooprog
instead of
fooprog </dev/random
if you want. The observable effect is the same: `fooprog` will execute with its standard input set up t... (more) |

This isn't an answer specific to pacman, but if you're using bash, you can use command repetition with a prefix (or suffix).
For example:
$ ls /root
ls: cannot open directory '/root': Permission denied
$ sudo !!
sudo ls /root
[sudo] password for <user>:

@#53054 Done. However, please keep in mind that if an edit would invalidate existing answers, it is generally better to post a new question incorporating what you have learned and highlighting how the new is different, than to edit an original question in such a way that existing answers no longer ap...

@#61308 I would honestly not consider it a "small detail" whether you are interested in answers for, say, FreeBSD, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Mac OS X, Linux, or Illumos, to name just a few possibilities; especially for a question where answers are likely to touch on deep aspects of the workings of...

@#65946 That's odd; I tried my example in a Trixie VM and got the same results that I showed in my answer. Well, whatever works for you. Hopefully this will be useful for someone else. (more) |

When all else fails, there's always the brute force way.
I don't have abook installed, but based on the man page you linked it doesn't look like it supports an output format that will natively do what you want. However, based *only* on your one example, might this do the trick?

There might be some edge case where you need to use `sudo` for `ip addr show`, but generally, that's an unprivileged command. So there should be no need for `sudo` in this case. (more) |

I'm not up to writing an actual answer, and if someone wants to take this and turn it into an answer before I have a chance to then that's fine by me; but actually using the MAC address directly to generate an IPv6 address, as that page seems to do, has been broadly discouraged for a good while.

I believe it can have, at least in some circumstances. With the GNU coreutils 8.32 `ls` and GNU findutils 4.8.0 `find` on Debian 11/Bullseye, observe:

$ touch abc$'\n'def
$ /bin/ls -N
abc?def

While it doesn't solve your problem, I see that part of your frustration is with the fact that

@#56802 It works because `ls` defaults to `-1` behavior when the output is not a terminal. You can pass `-1` explicitly if you like; it won't hurt.
This is also typical behavior of many \*nix commands that produce column-oriented output when run from a terminal: if run in a context where standard ... (more) |

This might sound like nitpicking, but it's actually not. *Which "system clipboard" are you referring to?* For example, on Linux there's X11's two separate copy buffers and on the console something like GPM's copy functionality; Wayland probably offers something similar; and other \*nixes may do thing...

It's not a daemon, but I suspect most Linux wireless network UIs these days are simply front-ends to Network Manager, in which case perhaps something like `nmcli device wifi list --rescan` and `nmcli device wifi connect ...` might prove useful. See nmcli(1). (more) |

The domain name `mydomain.com` actually belongs to someone, so it's a poor choice for anonymization. RFC 2606 specifically reserves some easily-recognizable domain names, including `example.com`, for use for examples and documentation; those should be preferred. (There's also, for example, `home.arpa... (more) |

I don't have any OS X system to check on, but it [looks like](https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage) `brew leaves` will "List installed formulae that are not dependencies of another installed formula" whereas `brew list` will "List all installed formulae and casks".

@#8046 I wouldn't rule it out without at least checking. The fact that you're getting compilation errors that point toward files from `readline` at the very least strongly suggests that there's an issue there; it doesn't guarantee that that's the problem (some types of errors in the source code can m...

I get the feeling that this relates to readline, perhaps GNU readline, more so than Ruby, really. I suggest to check the installation documentation for mentions of readline version requirements, then look in your /usr/local/opt/readline to see if you can determine what version is actually on your sys...

I don't think that applies, at least not directly. This looks to me to be related to readline; that Github issue is for building with an OpenSSL version that hasn't been updated since 2019 (so almost two years now). (more) |

@#53919 `showkey` on Debian Bullseye (showing its version as `(console-tools) 0.2.3`) has three modes; `--scancodes`, `--keycodes` (default) and `--keymap`. I'm not sure what you're running, but judging by the man page, it's been like that for a long time. (more) |

| Comment | Post #284642 |
At least when I try (using `showkey`), it seems that the key down and key release events are very much distinct. I haven't tried using it as a modifier key, though; I already use that key for other purposes which would be incompatible with such use. (more) |

This works fine. I inverted the logic, though, to avoid having to put pretty much the entire main body of the loop inside an `if` statement, adding `test -z "${processed[$1]}" || { shift; continue; }` right near the top of the loop.

That's not what it does to me; with less 551, I get the expected semi-binary view rather than a hexdump-style view.

What other OSes sometimes call a "RAM disk" or a "RAM drive" is called a ramfs or RAM file system in Linux. Assuming that support is available in the running kernel, `sudo mount -t ramfs none /some/mountpoint` gives you one. (The `none` is just an artefact of how ramfs in particular works. The `mount...

@#53919 The `mpv` man page has several more options one can try; those are just the ones that happened to do the trick for me. Look at the "low latency playback" section.

I ended up having to add `--profile=low-latency --untimed` to avoid a few-seconds latency in playback due apparently to buffering, but this works nicely after I added my user account to the `video` group which owns the /dev/video\* device nodes. (more) |

The MySQL `root` user has nothing to do with the system `root` user; the two user namespaces are separate. Also, best practice is to avoid running processes, especially complicated programs, as uid root if possible. Is there any particular reason why you suggest using `sudo` when invoking `mysql`?
