thwarted / bash-multiassign.sh
Last active June 10, 2022 22:31
defines a function `assign` that allows returning multiple values from a function/command
#!/bin/bash
# assign var1 varN... = c arg...
# execute c and assign captured values to the list of variables
#
# values can be output from c by redirecting/writing to:
# >${outvar[x]}
# >&x
# where x is the index of the variable you want to return the value
# in

thwarted / simple-iscsi-setup-in-linux.md
Created January 16, 2015 20:57
Simple ISCSI setup in Linux

Mostly gleaned from the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ISCSI_Initiator to setup the initiator.

Overview of the steps:

server1 is serving the targets and has IP 10.1.1.1/24 desktop1 is initiator. Both machines are in the 10.1.1.0/24 subnet.

  • installed netbsd-iscsi (yum install netbsd-iscsi in my case for Centos 6.5)
  • updated the netmask in /etc/iscsi/targets to be 10.1.1.0/24.
  • created the empty file that would be the backing store for the target with dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/iscsi-target0 bs=1024 count=100000 (this matches what's in the sample config in /etc/iscsi/targets)

thwarted / FOR_EACH.cmacros.h
Created September 17, 2014 00:17
a FOR_EACH C Preprocessor macro that works under both GNU CC and Visual Studio 2013/MSVC
/* all this verbosity is required for this to work reliably and predictably
* on both GCC and MSVC
*/
/* because gcc cpp doesn't recursively expand macros, so a single CALLIT
* macro can't be used in all the FE_n macros below
*/
#define FE_CALLITn01(a,b) a b
#define FE_CALLITn02(a,b) a b
