I have been writing Unix Shell scripts, but I am inexperienced in proper formatting. There were many instances where I had to write long lines to be executed as a single command.



Question is: is there a way that I can split a single long line of Unix command into multiple lines, yet make it execute as a single command?



Thanks.

          Either break apart the long string into smaller, and maybe more readable, components or use a trailing "" to denote a break in the line.



          from 'man bash':




          If a pair appears, and the backslash is not itself
          quoted, the is treated as a line continuation (that is, it
          is removed from the input stream and effectively ignored).

                    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...
