This article explains Java NIO introduced in Java 1.4, covering its core components—Channels, Buffers, and Selectors—detailing channel types, buffer operations, non‑blocking behavior, selector usage, and code examples such as FileChannel and Pipe, and compares NIO with classic IO.
This article explains where the JVM resides within the JDK, describes its four main components—ClassLoader, Native Interface, Execution Engine, and Runtime Data Areas—and details memory management, garbage‑collection algorithms, collector types, diagnostic commands, and the Java class‑file structure.
The article presents a Java program where 100 threads each increment a volatile int 1,000 times, showing that the final value may be less than the expected 100,000, and explains that volatile only guarantees visibility, not atomicity, making it unsuitable for concurrent modifications.
This article introduces the java.util.concurrent package introduced since JDK 5, explains the five thread‑pool creation methods, demonstrates how to use Runnable and Callable, details BlockingQueue operations and implementations, and summarizes best practices for building robust, high‑concurrency Java applications.
This article introduces awk as a versatile text‑processing language, explains its origins and variants, details command‑line syntax and three invocation methods, and walks through practical examples—from extracting fields in system files to using built‑in variables, conditionals, loops, arrays, and formatted output with print and printf.
This article introduces sed as a powerful stream editor for text processing, explains its pattern‑space workflow, details command syntax, addressing methods, options, meta‑characters, and provides numerous concrete examples—including deletions, substitutions, range selections, multi‑command scripts, and file I/O operations—illustrating how each feature works in practice.
This guide explains how to use the Unix cut command to extract specific columns or character ranges from files or streams, detailing the -d, -f, and -c options with clear examples such as selecting fields from colon‑separated data.
This article introduces Linux’s built-in iptables (netfilter) firewall, explains its four tables and chains, and provides detailed command-line examples for starting, stopping, configuring, listing, and managing rules, including common options and extended matching techniques.
This article introduces the Linux shell as an interface and scripting language, explains how to execute scripts, manage system and user variables, use special variables, operators, conditional statements, loops, case constructs, and define functions, providing concrete syntax examples for each feature.
This article introduces the Linux shell as the user‑kernel interface, explains why Bash is the most popular shell, and covers script execution methods, variable handling, operators, control structures, and custom functions with concrete command examples.
