Hi,

I want to edit/view some files that were encrypted using
'crypt' command on HP-UX machines. HP-UX vi had an
-x option for editing such files, but unfortunately, Linux
vim has no such option. Does anyone know of a way to edit
such files in Linux? Can emacs be used to do that?

Thanks in advance,

-SS

I'm trying to make a program that simply ejects the CD-ROM. The reason
why is that
I'd like to learn more about the ioctl() call.

Maybe I've misunderstood everything, but here's my code which doesn't
work:

    FILE *fd = fopen("/dev/cdrom", "w");
    int x;

    ioctl (fd, CDROMEJECT, &x);

     (I'm not really sure why I'm using 'x', but I saw it being used in
another example and I saw that
       ioctl() took a third argument also)
     (I found CDROMEJECT in the man-page ioctl_list)

Thanks in advance!
