| cc [options] [file[s]] | (L) | |||||||||||||||||
| C compiler. Comes as cc and gcc for GNU, pgcc for Portland and icc for Intel. See start of chapter for common options. | ||||||||||||||||||
| cpp [options] [file[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| The C language preprocessor. Is usually integrated into the C compilers, but sometimes abused as a standalone macro processor, therefore existing as a separate command. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| cvs [options] command [command_options] [command_args] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Concurrent Versions System based on RCS. The commands are similar to the more recent svn system. For a list of commands use cvs help | ||||||||||||||||||
| ddd [--help] [-gdb] [more_options] [program [corefile]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Graphical interface for the source-level debugger gdb and other debuggers. | ||||||||||||||||||
| gdb [options] [program [corefile]] | (L) | |||||||||||||||||
| Source-level debugger. Consult manuals for instructions or use ddd. Besides gdb for GNU there is pgdbgfor Portland and idb for Intel. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| gfortran [options] [file[s]] | () | |||||||||||||||||
| GNU Fortran 95 compiler. Alternatives are the pgf95, pghpf, pgf90 and pgf77 (Portland ) and ifort (Intel) compilers. The old GNU compilers f77 and g77 should only be used for compatibility reasons. See start of chapter for common options. | ||||||||||||||||||
| git [options] command [arg[s]] | () | |||||||||||||||||
| Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system. The most commonly used git commands can be displayed using the option --help. | ||||||||||||||||||
| gprof [options] [program [profile_file]] | (L) | |||||||||||||||||
| Display the execution profile of a program compiled with -pg. There is also a pgprof profiler for the Portland compiler. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| java [options] [classfile] [argument[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| java [options] -jar jarfile [argument[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Java interpreter. Executes compiled java code. For advanced use please consult the manuals. Alternate versions might have been provided, please run ini and look for the string jdk. | ||||||||||||||||||
| javac [options] [file[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Java compiler. For advanced use please consult the manuals. | ||||||||||||||||||
| ld [options] [file[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Linker. Combines object and archive files to create executables or prelinked modules. Usage similar to cc. Environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH influence the linking process. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| ldd [file[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Prints the shared libraries required by file[s]. | ||||||||||||||||||
| lsof -p pid | ||||||||||||||||||
| List information about files opened by a process with a given pid. | ||||||||||||||||||
| ltrace [-p pid] [command] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Run a command and print dynamic library calls made in the program. It can be attached (-p) to an already running program with a given pid. | ||||||||||||||||||
| m4 [-es] [-Dmacro[=defn]] [-Umacro] [file[s]] | F | |||||||||||||||||
| Macro processor. Process file[s] or STDIN (and define or undefine macros with -D and -U). Enable line sync output for cpp (#line lines) with -s. | ||||||||||||||||||
| make [-deinprt] [-f makefile] [target[s]] [macro=def] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Make utility to maintain groups of programs. Targets in Makefile (or makefile) are brought up to date according to dependency rules. For compatibility among platforms gmake is recommended on non Linux systems. -d print debugging information -e environment variables override makefiles -i ignore errors from commands -n no execution mode. Print commands only -p print out the complete set of macro definitions and target descriptions -r disable the built-in implicit rules -t touch targets instead of remaking them | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| nm [-Cgu] [-t radix] [file[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| List symbols from object files. Use -C for C++ files, -u to print undefined symbols, -g to print external symbols only. The radix determines the radix for printing offsets. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| patch [-pnum] < patchfile | f | |||||||||||||||||
| Apply a diff file to an original. With -p strip the smallest prefix containing num leading slashes from each file name found in the patch file. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||

| Run a command and print system calls and signals made in the program. It can be attached (-p) to an already running program with a given pid. | ||||||||||||||||||
| strip [file[s]] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Discard symbols from object file[s]. Used to reduce the size of executables. | Documentation | |||||||||||||||||
| svn command [options] [args] | ||||||||||||||||||
