How do you get nano/pico running on OpenSolaris?

We're setting up an OpenSolaris server on Amazon's EC2 service. However, vi/vim doesn't work properly, and pkg doesn't have nano/pico. Is there any other text-editor maybe?

Are there any standard bit manipulation routines/macros available, e.g. SETBIT, CLEARBIT-like. I found atomic bit operations in man -s9f atomic_bits, is there anything else? Thanks.

OracleSolaris 11.2 - locate capability of PCI device

I need solaris analogue to linux's pci_find_capability kernel function. I grepped through /usr/src/ for some similarities, but didn't find anything close to it. What do pci/pcie drivers normally use to find capabilities supported by devices? Thanks.

OracleSolaris 11.2 -- character device in /dev/*

Normally in Linux PCI drivers may expose a control interface to user-land via a character device, e.g. /dev/drv_ctl, and a user application can read/write I/O control commands with ioctl() on the open file descriptor. In Linux we create this with…

OracleSolaris 11.2 -- similar mechanism to Linux procfs

In Linux it is common to use proc FS as a means to talk with a kernel module, receive statistics from the kernel or set up some flags. What can be used for these in Solaris?

I'm trying to figure out the way to see number of CPU cores available, its frequency, cpu flags etc. as well as RAM amount, i.e. what I can get in Linux via /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo. Both OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana only maintain process IDs…

writing device drivers for OpenIndiana

Given that OpenIndiana is a fork of OpenSolaris, is it fair to say that writing device drivers for OpenIndiana should not be different from writing it on OpenSolaris? I'm also looking for some references, or a "linux device drivers"-alike manual for…

Method of programmatically getting CPU time for thread, in C, that works on both OpenSolaris and Linux

I have a small daemon that I'm writing in C and I need a way to get the current CPU time on a thread. Linux apparently supplies a number of ways to go about doing this, clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, ...), pthread_getcpuclockid(),…

In OpenSolaris OS, when I run makefile generated by Eclipse CDT on the Linux OS, I get an error on the first -include line. The same error was in FreeBSD, and was solved by executing gmake instead of make. In OpenSolaris (just installed) gmake…
