comment create a /proc symlink
You're probably better off taking the accepted answer to that question, and editing the binary to look for /proc/drivers/gpu/./0 (assuming you can't recompile the app). (The gpu/./ is to match the length of cards/.)

comment Script not getting executed as per expectation
The problem is that the kernel doesn't start perl because you told it to look for perl\r. Perl can handle scripts with CRLF line endings; it's the kernel that has an issue with them.

I abbreviated the explanation of q because it's only the first line of output that's significant.

comment What does 'patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line' mean?
The GitHub link is broken, and since you didn't summarize what it said, this answer is now practically useless.

comment POSIX head and tail not feature equivalent
@l0b0, but it needs to work on non-seekable pipes, so it can't depend on seek. (It might have an optimization for seekable files, but it must have a fallback.)

comment Is there any way for group “owners” to have full rights of a file or directory owner?
Tools like rm will usually warn you before deleting a file you don't have write permission for, but that's a UI thing. The underlying unlink call doesn't care.

comment Is there any way for group “owners” to have full rights of a file or directory owner?
To delete a file, you don't need any permissions on the file itself. You need write permission on the directory containing the file. If you have that, you can delete a file you can't even read.

comment Why does a software package run just fine even when it is being upgraded?
To clarify, under Linux you can't modify an executable file while it's running. But you can unlink the file and replace it with a new file of the same name.
