Is a TEXT.IX file familiar to anyone? - database

Just curious which legacy DOS based system is responsible for a 'TEXT.IX' data file.
If anyone has come across it before please tell :-) Thanks.

Possibly Framemaker (Adobe Systems).

Do machine readable specifications exist somewhere for NXP processors?

this would really be helpful for getting the info on bitfields, instead of extracting them from the header file(s).
Any link or tip will be greatly appreciated.

Writing to sys/class/net in linux

I'm thinking of saving data in /sys/class/net from a C program.
Is this possible?
Is there a process explaining how to use this file system for writing?
Thanks in advance for any help.

What would be a good tracing library for a C multithreaded program?

I'm writing a multithreaded server using Ptrheads and I want to trace the execution of individual threads.
What would be a good tracing library for this?
cTrace is an good option.
NPTL sounds exactly like what you need. I have tried unsuccessfully to install it, though, and it seems dated a bit but the features are great. If you succeed in installing it, drop me a line through here! There is also PAPI, but it's tough to handle, and there's finally Valgrind (particularly Cachegrind) for certain subset of debugging needs. Hope this helps.

Parsing NTFS Partition in C

I'm just a beginner and I have a need to parse a NTFS partition for the purpose of extracting Security Descriptors. (I been trying to use the native functions of the Windows API, but my conclusion is that something is seriously wrong with the functions' behavior, or their documentation.)
I was wondering if anybody here experienced with such requirement, and could give me few hints, references, guidance... where to begin?
(I've found www.ntfs.com, seems to have NTFS structure information, but I'm afraid I'll need something more to get started...)
My intention is to use it under Windows XP.
Here's some pretty low-level documentation:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-ntfs/files/NTFS%20Documentation/
Also, have you looked at Microsoft's technical reference for NTFS?:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758691(WS.10).aspx
Otherway to start with linux based open source NTFS projects like linux-ntfs or captive or NTFS-3G . That will give you some idea about NTFS read/write operations

reading FAT12 image file in C

I have a FAT12 image file and I have to open it and read it. I would like to view this image file(directories/files with in) so I can have an idea of what outcomes I should be getting. Anyone know of a good software that would let me view this FAT12 image file? Also can someone guide towards the right directions when trying to read the content of this image file?
There are a number of open source FAT filesystem implementations around.
One which I think has nice clear portable code, though there are bugs, particularly in FAT12 implementation, is http://www.larwe.com/zws/products/dosfs/index.html.
On Linux you can just mount it using the loopback device.
There is Segger files system called emFile. It is portable fs, i have emFile working on number of embedded operating system with minimal (almost none, a few simple function that need to be implemented for each os) development effort. It's not expensive as well,i mean if you doing something for fun you probably don't want to spend money at all , but for commercial use it's cheap.
