Network settings, get IP, bring up DNS settings, set namespace:

    bind -a '#I0' /net

    ip/ipconfig   # use DHCP server to get IP

    ndb/cs        #
    ndb/dns -r    # name resolution servers

    cat /net/ndb  # check network settings

Unicode in Plan9:

    str() -> utf()

Rune is 16bit Unicode representation.

The equivalent of Ctrl-C is DEL.

Typing Cyrillic symbols may be via Alt combinaations:

    Alt @ya  --- я
    Alt @a   --- а
    Alt @v   --- в
    ...

Unicode translation table for Cyrillic is from 0400 to 0500:

    0430 --- а     0410 --- А
    044f --- я     042f --- я

unicode command may be used to translate symbols to codes and back:

    unicode я      # gives 044f
    unicode 044f   # gives я

Compiling on i386 (platform code 8):

    8c -FNw a.c      # produces a.8
    8l -o a.out a.8  # link object file to a.out executable

Libraries to link with:

libhu.a
libhm.a

Compiler option to trigger compilation with memory debugging builtin:

-qheapdebug

Available functions under DBX:

_heap_check()
_dump_allocated()
_dump_allocated_delta()

Functions available from C/C++ to improve results of debugging with memdbg:

_uheap()
_uheapset()
_uheapwalk()

The fast way to change malloc behaviour is to introduce shell variable:

MALLOCTYPE=3.1

Means switch to legacy implementation of malloc, BSD style aka power of 2 boundaries allocations.
