Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: deadbeef (Actually Oracle-related)
Interesting, when you convert it from hex to decimal you end up with 3,735,928,559. Wonder what that has to do with anything?

Subject: deadbeef (Actually Oracle-related)
Came across this while debugging Oracle (dis)connections with "tusc" on Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 / HPUX 11.11 (apparently similar to "truss" on other platforms):
write(8, "\09c\0\006\0\0\0\0\0deadbeef\092".., 156) read(8, "\07f\0\006\0\0\0\0\0deadbeef\0u ".., 2064)
Interestingly enough, there appears to be a reason (albeit a weak one) for this:

Just thought it was something for the archives, in case someone else runs over deadbeef. :)
