To read standard input into a shell script use the read command. For example: echo "Please enter your name:" read name echo "Welcome to Edinburgh $name" . This prompts the user for input, assigns this to the variable name and then displays the value of this variable to standard output . ...

... I am developing an Informed Prefetching and Caching system as part of the kernel in which it is very important that the memory assigned to hold the data does not get swapped to disk. Without any thought to swapping I used vmalloc() to assign memory to the data structures of the Informed prefetching system. ... I later realized that most probably the pages assigned using vmalloc() were getting swapped to the disk and when I referenced them, they were brought from the disk rather than memory. ...
