It's easy to accept a date in a specified but non-standard format (date -j -f "EXISTING_DATE_FORMAT" "EXISTING_DATE" "OUTPUT_FORMAT"), and easy to adjust a date with the same command (date -j -v+1y "OUTPUT_FORMAT").



I have a date/time in a text string, that I need to convert (so date can understand it) and then adjust, before echoing it in a given format.



Unfortunately date -j -v+1y -f "EXISTING_DATE_FORMAT" "EXISTING_DATE" "OUTPUT_FORMAT" doesn't seem to be permitted, or at least isn't working for me. How can I get this effect?

  • Use a second date command inside $(command substitution) to convert from the existing format

  • Can you enter this as an answer (hopefully with a simple example to show the exact syntax)? Then I can mark it as correct.

  • Sorry, I only commented, because I don't have a FreeBSD machine to verify.

  • Take the last example in the FreeBSD manual page for date as a further guide, and you can answer your own question. (-:

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
