If you're looking to get into Awk, and you learn well from a lecture style, I put together a talk for Linux Fest Northwest some years ago and recorded it for Youtube: https://youtu.be/E5aQxIdjT0M

Re awk (which equally has its r/awk), the combination of presentation, exercise and GitHub repo of training data by Benjamin Porter is a nice resource, too.

For people that know Ruby, if you haven't explored Ruby's CLI abilities, you definitely, definitely should. When I was building my (free and open source) awk course[1] I fell in love with awk. When I later found out that Ruby has some of the same features, it changed my life: I

Awk: Hack the Planet It has a youtube vid and problems to work through.

Kind of a shameless plug, but you mentioned wanting to get better at Awk. I had that same desire and created a small course based on what I learned. The course got great feedback.

There is a video presentation, and a set of "challenges" you can use to incrementally get more complex with awk, starting from super simple.

The challenges repo is on github here: https://github.com/FreedomBen/awk-hack-the-planet

If you want to watch the videos, there are links in the github repo but for convenience:

Yes. It's incredibly easy with NetBSD, and while the GENERIC kernel works for most cases, you might sometimes want to change a few things or remove unused things.

If anyone wants to review the NetBSD implementation, see:

I would disagree with the responses that say there isn't much in the way of idiomatic C. C is a domain-specific language for writing operating systems, so, I would take a look at the Linux kernel, the source code for the different BSDs, etc. The Linux kernel even has its own style guide (which, incidentally, recommends against using that of the GNU project, also worth taking a look at). There's also a style called Kernel Normal Form (KNF), developed by none other than the authors of C and UNIX themselves. I'd also suggest Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language.

You can view /etc/words in any unix source repository and use the search function. Modern unices keep the wordlist somewhere else, like here: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/share/dict/web2
