What does the MaxOccurs property of Mono.GetOptions.OptionAttribute do? - command-line

Mono Documentation
The documentation is missing here. What does it do?

It's the maximum number of times you can specify a particular option. For example, if MaxOptions is 2 for a particular option -c, something like foo -c apple -c banana is fine, but foo -c apple -c banana -c coconut is an error. If you leave MaxOccurs at 0, there is no limit to the number of times you can include an option.

Filtering tshark output for .csv. Preventing errors from missing fields

I am trying to filter a pcap file in tshark wit a lua script and ultimately output it to a .csv. I am most of the way there but I am still running into a few issues.
This is what I have so far
tshark -nr -V -X lua_script:wireshark_dissector.lua -r myfile.pcap -T fields -e frame.time_epoch -e Something_UDP.field1 -e Something_UDP.field2 -e Something_UDP.field3 -e Something_UDP.field4 -e Something_UDP.field5 -e Something_UDP.field6 -e Something_UDP.field15 -e Something_UDP.field16 -e Something_UDP.field18 -e Something_UDP.field22 -E separator=,
Here is an example of what the frames look like, sort of.
frame 1
time: 1626806198.437893000
Something_UDP.field1: 0
Something_UDP.field2: 1
Something_UDP.field3:1
Something_UDP.field5:1
Something_UDP.field6:1
frame 2
time: 1626806198.439970000
Something_UDP.field8: 1
Something_UDP.field9: 0
Something_UDP.field13: 0
Something_UDP.field14: 0
frame 3
time: 1626806198.440052000
Something_UDP.field15: 1
Something_UDP.field16: 0
Something_UDP.field18: 1
Something_UDP.field19:1
Something_UDP.field20:1
Something_UDP.field22: 0
Something_UDP.field24: 0
The output I am looking for would be
1626806198.437893000,0,1,1,,1,1,1,,,,,
1626806198.440052000,,,,,,,,,1,0,,1,1,1,,0,0,,,,
That is if the frame contains one of the fields I am looking for it will output its value followed by a comma but if that field isn't there it will output a comma. One issue is that not every frame contains info that I am interested in and I don't want them to be outputted. Part of the issue with that is that one of the fields I need is epoch time and that will be in every frame but that is only important if the other fields are there. I could use awk or grep to do this but wondering if it can all be done inside tshark. The other issue is that the fields being requested will com from a text file and there may be fields in the text file that don't actually exist in the pcap file and if that happens I get a "tshark: Some fields aren't valid:" error.
In short I have 2 issues.
1: I need to print data only it the fields names match but not if the only match is epoch.
2: I need it to work even if one of the fields being requested doesn't exist.
I need to print data only it the fields names match but not if the only match is epoch.
Try using a display filter that mentions all the field names in which you're interested, with an "or" separating them, such s
-Y "Something_UDP.field1 or Something_UDP.field2 or Something_UDP.field3 or Something_UDP.field4 or Something_UDP.field5 or Something_UDP.field6 or Something_UDP.field15 or Something_UDP.field16 or Something_UDP.field18 or Something_UDP.field22"
so that only packets containing at least one of those fields will be processed.
I need it to work even if one of the fields being requested doesn't exist.
Then you will need to construct the command line on the fly, avoiding field names that aren't valid.
One way, in a script, to test whether a field is valid is to use the dftest command:
dftest Something_UDP.field1 >/dev/null 2>&1
will exit with a status of 0 if there's a field named "Something_UDP.field1" and will exit with a status of 2 if there isn't; if the scripting language you're using can check the exit status of a command to see if it succeeds, you can use that.

Writing __fish_is_first_arg, but includes the arg's parameter

I'm writing a completions file for cwebp, Google's to-webp converter. Its help says that -preset should come before all other arguments. With that in mind, I tried restricting its availability with __fish_is_first_arg, like this:
complete -c cwebp -x -n '__fish_is_first_arg' -o preset -a 'default photo picture drawing icon text' -d 'Preset setting'
This would make it so cwebp -o -pres<Tab> would not suggest -preset, which is what I wanted.
Meanwhile, cwebp -pres<Tab> would fill out the argument to its full -preset, which is also what I wanted.
However, when I press the Tab key at cwebp -preset <Tab>, the only suggestions given are the files and directories in the current directory. This is not what I wanted.
With this in mind, I figured I had to write a "is first or second option" function. However, it's not going well. Here's what I have so far:
function __fish_cwebp_is_first_option_or_its_argument
set -l tokens (commandline -co)
# line alpha
switch (count tokens)
case 1
return 0
case 2
if test \( "$tokens[2]" = '-preset' \)
return 0
end
return 1
case '*'
# line beta
breakpoint
return 1
end
end
This function body, as far as I can tell, works the same way as return 0 ((true)). No matter what, -pres<Tab> completes to -preset, even when the line looks like cwebp -h -H -version -pres<Tab>.
When I put a breakpoint on line alpha, I can echo $tokens and see all the tokens that I've totally typed out (there needs to be at least one space between the last token and the cursor). However, when I have only a breakpoint on line beta as shown here, I can't even get the breakpoint to trigger. Not even with cwebp -h -H -version -pres<Tab> as mentioned above.
What am I doing wrong?
switch (count tokens)
should be:
switch (count $tokens)
(For others reading this: the $ activates variable expansion. count $tokens expands the variable tokens and counts its values, while count tokens counts only the single literal "tokens").

Variable not being recognized after "read"

-- Edit : Resolved. See answer.
Background:
I'm writing a shell that will perform some extra actions required on our system when someone resizes a database.
The shell is written in ksh (requirement), the OS is Solaris 5.10 .
The problem is with one of the checks, which verifies there's enough free space on the underlying OS.
Problem:
The check reads the df -k line for root, which is what I check in this step, and prints it to a file. I then "read" the contents into variables which I use in calculations.
Unfortunately, when I try to run an arithmetic operation on one of the variables, I get an error indicating it is null. And a debug output line I've placed after that line verifies that it is null... It lost it's value...
I've tried every method of doing this I could find online, they work when I run it manually, but not inside the shell file.
(* The file does have #!/usr/bin/ksh)
Code:
df -k | grep "rpool/ROOT" > dftest.out
RPOOL_NAME=""; declare -i TOTAL_SIZE=0; USED_SPACE=0; AVAILABLE_SPACE=0; AVAILABLE_PERCENT=0; RSIGN=""
read RPOOL_NAME TOTAL_SIZE USED_SPACE AVAILABLE_SPACE AVAILABLE_PERCENT RSIGN < dftest.out
\rm dftest.out
echo $RPOOL_NAME $TOTAL_SIZE $USED_SPACE $AVAILABLE_SPACE $AVAILABLE_PERCENT $RSIGN
((TOTAL_SIZE=$TOTAL_SIZE/1024))
This is the result:
DBResize.sh[11]: TOTAL_SIZE=/1024: syntax error
I'm pulling hairs at this point, any help would be appreciated.
The code you posted cannot produce the output you posted. Most obviously, the error is signalled at line 11 but you posted fewer than 11 lines of code. The previous lines may matter. Always post complete code when you ask for help.
More concretely, the declare command doesn't exist in ksh, it's a bash thing. You can achieve the same result with typeset (declare is a bash equivalent to typeset, but not all options are the same). Either you're executing this script with bash, or there's another error message about declare, or you've defined some additional commands including declare which may change the behavior of this code.
None of this should have an impact on the particular problem that you're posting about, however. The variables created by read remain assigned until the end of the subshell, i.e. until the code hits a ), the end of a pipe (left-hand side of the pipe only in ksh), etc.
About the use of declare or typeset, note that you're only declaring TOTAL_SIZE as an integer. For the other variables, you're just assigning a value which happens to consist exclusively of digits. It doesn't matter for the code you posted, but it's probably not what you meant.
One thing that may be happening is that grep matches nothing, and therefore read reads an empty line. You should check for errors. Use set -e in scripts to exit at the first error. (There are cases where set -e doesn't catch errors, but it's a good start.)
Another thing that may be happening is that df is splitting its output onto multiple lines because the first column containing the filesystem name is too large. To prevent this splitting, pass the option -P.
Using a temporary file is fragile: the code may be executed in a read-only directory, another process may want to access the same file at the same time... Here a temporary file is useless. Just pipe directly into read. In ksh (unlike most other sh variants including bash), the right-hand side of a pipe runs in the main shell, so assignments to variables in the right-hand side of a pipe remain available in the following commands.
It doesn't matter in this particular script, but you can use a variable without $ in an arithmetic expression. Using $ substitutes a string which can have confusing results, e.g. a='1+2'; $((a*3)) expands to 7. Not using $ uses the numerical value (in ksh, a='1+2'; $((a*3)) expands to 9; in some sh implementations you get an error because a's value is not numeric).
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -e
typeset -i TOTAL_SIZE=0 USED_SPACE=0 AVAILABLE_SPACE=0 AVAILABLE_PERCENT=0
df -Pk | grep "rpool/ROOT" | read RPOOL_NAME TOTAL_SIZE USED_SPACE AVAILABLE_SPACE AVAILABLE_PERCENT RSIGN
echo $RPOOL_NAME $TOTAL_SIZE $USED_SPACE $AVAILABLE_SPACE $AVAILABLE_PERCENT $RSIGN
((TOTAL_SIZE=TOTAL_SIZE/1024))
Strange...when I get rid of your "declare" line, your original code seems to work perfectly well (at least with ksh on Linux)
The code :
#!/bin/ksh
df -k | grep "/home" > dftest.out
read RPOOL_NAME TOTAL_SIZE USED_SPACE AVAILABLE_SPACE AVAILABLE_PERCENT RSIGN < dftest.out
\rm dftest.out
echo $RPOOL_NAME $TOTAL_SIZE $USED_SPACE $AVAILABLE_SPACE $AVAILABLE_PERCENT $RSIGN
((TOTAL_SIZE=$TOTAL_SIZE/1024))
print $TOTAL_SIZE
The result :
32962416 5732492 25552588 19% /home
5598
Which are the value a simple df -k is returning. The variables seem to last.
For those interested, I have figured out that it is not possible to use "read" the way I was using it.
The variable values assigned by "read" simply "do not last".
To remedy this, I have applied the less than ideal solution of using the standard "while read" format, and inside the loop, echo selected variables into a variable file.
Once said file was created, I just "loaded" it.
(pseudo code:)
LOOP START
echo "VAR_A="$VAR_A"; VAR_B="$VAR_B";" > somefile.out
LOOP END
. somefile.out

How to limit to N newest entries with Hg Log when specifying a Revset?

This question is not a duplicate of hg log - How to get the last 5 log entries? - it is easy to apply a limit. The problem is that the log output, when limited, does not appear to always be ordered descending by log date - the behavior changes with the addition of a revset.
For example, the simple log work "as expected" and it is displays the newest five log entries.
hg log -l5
However, when using a revset the result is the oldest nodes first (as observed without -l); hence the following shows the oldest five entries which is not desired.
hg log -r "user('Me')" -l5
How can can hg log, with a revset, be instructed to order by the log date descending ("as expected") so that the limit has a predictable1 and meaningful effect?
$ hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 3.6.1)
1 I don't consider throwing random reverse calls in a revset predictable, but if that is the "best" way..
There are a couple of options you have.
First, you can use reverse() in conjunction with your existing revset, e.g.:
hg log -r 'reverse(user("me"))' -l 5
As a shorthand, you can also use -f or --follow, which – when used in conjunction with -r – will wrap the revision in reverse(...). Example:
hg log -f -r 'user("me")' -l 5
Or you can encode the limit in the changeset, e.g.:
hg log -r 'last(user("me"), 5)'
Note that revset aliases can be useful to avoid having to type out revsets over and over. So, you can put something like this in your .hgrc:
[revsetalias]
lastby($1) = last(user($1), 5)
And then do:
hg log -r 'lastby("me")`
Important addendum answer: do not use reverse blindly for this task. While it will work in many cases, the better/reliable generic solution is to use sort, as in:
hg log -r 'sort(user("me"), "-date")' -l 5
This is because reverse does not guarantee the source set order is well-ordered - as such it may still result in final output that does not meet the requested criteria of 'newest'.
The use of sort above guarantees the behavior as it sorts by the date, descending, and then selects the top 5 per hg log's limit option.
(Otherwise, see Reimer's answer.)

memcacheq ,the message body is not longer enough

memcacheq ,the message body is not longer enough,I start with "
memcacheq -u root -d -r -H /data1/memcacheq -N -R -v -L 2048 -B 65530 > /data1/mq_error.log 2>&1"
log show that "larger than database's maximum record length 1024"
but it doesn't work. how can I resize the body length.
According to multiple documentations:
So we have a limit on the message body size with a max of a bit less than *64K*.
It doesn't seem like there is a work around for this limitation.
EDIT: This was provided by one of the authors as a work around for body length, but it really seems that MemcacheQ has a size limitation.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
