Why doesn't the following work?



function xyz() touch $1; 
xyz temp1.txt


I get an error



touch: missing file operand
Try `touch --help' for more information.





bash shell-script

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:


  • "Questions describing a problem that can't be reproduced and seemingly went away on its own (or went away when a typo was fixed) are off-topic as they are unlikely to help future readers." – DopeGhoti, mosvy, steeldriver, GAD3R
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.













  • Welcome to Unix&Linux at StackExchange! I just tried your two exact commands on bash and it worked for me... Can you double check your setup? Try type xyz to see what bash thinks the definition of your function is...

    Did you perhaps run something more interesting, like xyz "file name with spaces"?

            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...
