What is the purpose of the setuid bit on a Linux file?

setuid is a unix access rights flag that allow users to run an executable file with the permissions of the executable's owner and to change behavior in directories. These (setuid and setgid) are often used to allow users on a computer to run programs with temporarily elevated privileges in order to perform specific tasks.


How do you identify executable files in Linux?

Open a terminal, browse to the directory where the files are, and run the command "ls -l". On the left-most side there will read something that looks like -rwx-. "r" means readable, "w" means writable, and "x" means that the file is executable. If the "x" is not there, then the file is not executable.

How can I get a batch file (that calls on an executable file and a .fil file) that is made for a 32 bit application to work on a 64 bit win 7?


What does stick bit for a directory and a executable file signify?

The sticky bit on an executable really isn't used that much anymore, but in earlier Unix systems it meant that the executable file should be loaded from the swap file rather than from the file system. For commonly executed programs this resulted in a much faster loading time for users. Modern Unix systems will still let you set the sticky bit on an executable but it doesn't have the same meaning as it used to, since current day loaders are much better at determining where programs are. The sticky bit on a directory means that only the user may delete a file or directory in that directory. This is usually used in a file system such as /tmp, which is world writable. Without the sticky bit, any user could delete someone else's file. With the sticky bit, they have to be the owner to do that.


How do you reverse every word in a filter with assembly language in Linux 64-bit?

To reverse every word in a filter with assembly language in Linux 64-bit is easy. All you have to do is assemble the language file in an object file.


How do you open 16-bit .dll files?

You can't. DLL file ( Dynamic Link Library ) can only be opened by an executable ( EXE ) or compiler.


In Linux how can I write a shared library function so that when running in user space it and only it can extend a specific data file owned by root user?

If you do not have write access to the file and you are not the owner, then you cannot write to the file with a program running as some other user. Although, setting the setuid bit on the executable of a custom helper program or daemon might be set up in some fashion to do what you want.


What is the standard file header for an executable file?

There is no such standard since different architectures support different executable formats while some support multiple formats. For instance, Windows 32-bit supports MZ (DOS) and PE format, while 64-bit also supports PE32+, all of which have an EXE file extension. Windows also supports the older COM (DOS) format. But, as with most file extensions, the extension is simply a method of organising files by type and for associating file types to specific applications, but they tell you nothing about the file itself. Only by physically loading the file and examining its header (if it has one) can the operating system determine its actual type. In other words, renaming a COM file to an EXE file doesn't actually change the file type; it has to be completely recompiled from source. The Apple Mac doesn't use extensions in the same way Windows does (many Mac files have no extension at all), but machine code executables are in the Preferred Executable Format (PEF), also known as Code Fragment Manager (CFM) files. Linux (and Unix) typically use the Executable and Link Format (ELF). Although each format obviously has its own standard header, there is no standard header that applies to all executables across all architectures.


Why are Windows and Linux executables different?

At least two major reasons, 3 when you consider Linux runs on far more architectures than Windows: 1. Windows and Linux use completely different binary formats: Windows uses a poor excuse of a COFF-format ripoff called PE (Portable Executable, a name that has no meaning whatsoever because NO PE binaries are portable, and not all of them are executable.), Linux uses the almost universally standard format used by everyone and their dog except WINDOWS called ELF (Executable and Linkable Format, a name that actually is accurate to what the format actually is, executable or linkable. Note that even your PS3s and Wiis use ELF.) 2. They're two completely different operating systems! You can't expect them to have matching APIs or ABIs at all, and those are two things any kind of binary has to rely on to work. Thus, even if you get a binary in ELF format, just because it works in Linux A, doesn't necessarily mean it'll work on Linux B, especially if Linux B is on a different architecture or uses a different library set. 3. (Applies only in some cases.) You're trying to run a 32-bit Windows PE-executable on a 64-bit SPARC port of a Linux distribution, where the binary itself is not even going to be anything the system understands without emulation.

Can I play games on Linux and what is linux?

Linux is just an OS (Operating system like macOS, android, Windows...). But the different things are that Linux is a bit hard to learn. Linux is used by hackers (Linux is a "hacking machine", a bit like hacking in movies. And yes u can play games on Linux (There is some games that doesn't support Linux.)


For each what system calls give a condition that causes it to fail fork exec and unlink?

exec: Program file does not exist; file exists, but does represent a valid executable file (e.g., it is a spreadsheet); file exists, but the user does not have permission to execute it (e.g., the file does not have the exec bit set, or the user does not have permission to access the file unlink: File does not exist; user does not have permission to access the file. fork: No more processes (OS out of memory).
