ls –a Lists all files including hidden files (files beginning with .)
ls –x dirname To have specific listing of a directory.
ls –R Recursive listing of all files in the subdirectories
ls –l Long listing showing file access rights (read/write/execute-rwx for
user/group/others-ugo).
cmp file1 file2 Used to compare two files. Displays nothing if files are identical.
wc file It produces a statistics of lines (l), words(w), and characters(c).
chmod perm file Changes permission for the specified file. (r=4, w=2, x=1)
chmod 740 file sets all rights for user, read only for groups
and no rights for others
The commands can be combined using the pipeline (|) operator. For example, number of
users logged in can be obtained as.

Exp. No. 2a FORK SYSTEM CALL Date:-
Aim
To create a new child process using fork system call.
fork()
 The fork system call is used to create a new process called child process.
o
The return value is 0 for a child process.
o
The return value is negative if process creation is unsuccessful.
o
For the parent process, return value is positive
 The child process is an exact copy of the parent process.
 Both the child and parent continue to execute the instructions following fork call.
 The child can start execution before the parent or vice-versa.
getpid() and getppid()
 The getpid system call returns process ID of the calling process

 The getppid system call returns parent process ID of the calling process
Algorithm
1. Declare a variable x to be shared by both child and parent.
2. Create a child process using fork system call.
3. If return value is -1 then
Print "Process creation unsuccessfull"
Terminate using exit system call.
4. If return value is 0 then
Print "Child process"
Print process id of the child using getpid system call
Print value of x
Print process id of the parent using getppid system call
5. Otherwise
Print "Parent process"
Print process id of the parent using getpid system call
Print value of x
Print process id of the shell using getppid system call.
6. Stop

Program
/* Process creation - fork.c */#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
int main()
{
pid_t pid;
int x = 5;
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0)
{
printf("Process creation error");
exit(-1);
}
else if (pid == 0)
{
printf("Child process:\n");
printf("Process id is %d\n", getpid());
printf("Value of x is %d\n", x);
printf("Process id of parent is %d\n", getppid());
}
else
{
printf("Parent process:\n");
printf("Process id is %d\n", getpid());
printf("Value of x is %d\n", x);
printf("Process id of shell is %d\n", getppid());
}
return 0;
}Output
$ gcc fork.c
$ ./a.out
Child process:
Process id is 19499
Value of x is 6
Process id of parent is 19498
Parent process:
Process id is 19498
Value of x is 6
Process id of shell is 3266
Result
Thus a child process is created with copy of its parent's address space.
7
Exp. No. 2b WAIT SYSTEM CALL Date:
Aim
To block a parent process until child completes using wait system call.
Wait ()
 The wait system call causes the parent process to be blocked until a child terminates.
 When a process terminates, the kernel notifies the parent by sending the SIGCHLD signal
tothe parent.
 Without wait, the parent may finish first leaving a zombie child, to be adopted by init process
Algorithm

a. Print "Process creation unsuccessfull"
3. Terminate using exit system call.
4. If return value is > 0 then
a. Suspend parent process until child completes using wait system call
b. Print "Parent starts"
c. Print even numbers from 0–10
d. Print "Parent ends"
5. If return value is 0 then
a. Print "Child starts"
b. Print odd numbers from 0–10
c. Print "Child ends"
6. Stop
Program
/* Wait for child termination - wait.c */
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include
<sys/types.h>
#include
<sys/wait.h>
int main()
{
int i, status;
pid_t pid;
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0)
{
printf("\nProcess creation failure\n");
exit(-1);
}
else if (pid > 0)
{
wait(NULL);
8
printf("\nParent starts\nEven Nos: ");
for (i = 2; i <= 10; i += 2)
{
printf("%3d", i);
}
printf("\nParent ends\n");
}
else if (pid == 0)
{
printf("\nChild starts\nOdd Nos: ");
for (i = 1; i < 10; i += 2)
{
printf("%3d", i);
}
printf("\nChild ends\n");
}
return 0;
}
Output
$ gcc wait.c
$ ./a.out
Child starts
Odd Nos: 1 3 5 7 9
Child ends
Parent starts
Even Nos: 2 4 6 8 10
Parent ends
Result
Thus using wait system call zombie child processes were avoided.
9
Exp. No. 2c EXEC SYSTEM CALL Date:
Aim
To load an executable program in a child processes exec system call.
execl()
 The exec family of function (execl, execv, execle, execve, execlp, execvp) is used by
the child process to load a program and execute.
 execl system call requires path, program name and null pointer
Algorithm

a. Print "Process creation unsuccessfull"
3. Terminate using exit system call.
4. If return value is > 0 then
a. Suspend parent process until child completes using wait system call
b. Print "Child Terminated".
c. Terminate the parent process.
If return value is 0 then
d. Print "Child starts"
e. Load date program into child process using exec system call.
f. Terminate the child process.
5. Stop
Program
/* Load a program in child process - exec.c */#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main() {
pid_t pid;
int status;
// Create a child process

pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
// Child process
execl("/bin/date", "date", NULL);
perror("execl");
exit(1);
} else if (pid > 0) {
// Parent process
wait(&status);
printf("Child process terminated with status %d\n", status);
} else {
perror("fork"); exit(1); }
return 0;
10
}
Output
$ gcc exec.c
$ ./a.out Tue
Apr 2
13:37:53 UTC
2024
Child process
terminated
with status 0
Result
Thus the child process loads a binary executable file into its address space.
11
Exp. No. 2d STAT SYSTEM CALL Date:
Aim
To display file status using stat system call.
exit ()
 The exit system call is used to terminate a process either normally or abnormally
 Closes all standard I/O streams.
stat ()
 The stat system call is used to return information about a file as a structure.
Algorithm
1. Get filename as command line argument.
2. If filename does not exist then stop.
3. Call stat system call on the filename that returns a structure
4. Display members st_uid, st_gid, st_blksize, st_block, st_size, st_nlink, etc.,
5. Convert time members such as st_atime, st_mtime into time using ctime function
6. Compare st_mode with mode constants such as S_IRUSR, S_IWGRP, S_IXOTH and
display file permissions.
7. Stop
Program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{
struct stat file;
int n;
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: %s <filename>\n", argv[0]);
exit(-1);
}
if ((n = stat(argv[1], &file)) == -1)

{
perror(argv[1]);
exit(-1);

printf( (file.st_mode & S_IWOTH) ? "w" : "-");
printf( (file.st_mode & S_IXOTH) ? "x" : "-");
printf("\n");
if(S_ISREG(file.st_mode)) printf("File type : Regular\n");

if(S_ISDIR(file.st_mode)) printf("File type : Directory\n");
return 0;
}
Output
$ gcc stat.c
$ ./a.out fork.c
User id : 0
Group id : 0
Block size : 4096
Blocks allocated : 8
Inode no. : 16627
Last accessed : Fri Feb 22 21:57:09 2013
Last modified : Fri Feb 22 21:56:13 2013
File size : 591 bytes

File type : Regular
Result
Thus attributes of a file is displayed using stat system call.
13
Exp. No. 2 READDIR SYSTEM CALL Date:
Aim
To display directory contents using readdir system call.
opendir(), readdir()and closedir()
 The opendir system call is used to open a directory

o
It returns a pointer to the first entry
o
It returns NULL on error.
 The readdir system call is used to read a directory as a dirent structure
o
It returns a pointer pointing to the next entry in directory stream

Exp. No. 3c CP COMMAND Date:
Aim
To simulate cp command using UNIX system call.
Algorithm
1. Get source and destination filename as command-line argument.

2. Declare a buffer of size 1KB
3. Open the source file in readonly mode using open system call.
5. Create the destination file using creat system call.
6. If file cannot be created, then stop.
7. File copy is achieved as follows:
a. Read 1KB data from source file and store onto buffer using read system call.
b. Write the buffer contents onto destination file using write system call.
c. If end-of-file then step 8 else step 7a.
8. Close source and destination file using close system call.
9. Stop.

Exp. No. 4 SHELL PROGRAMMING Date:
Aim
To write simple shell scripts using shell programming fundamentals.
The activities of a shell are not restricted to command interpretation alone. The shell
also has rudimentary programming features. Shell programs are stored in a file (with
extension .sh). Shell programs run in interpretive mode. The original UNIX came with the
Bourne shell (sh) and it is universal even today. C shell ( csh) and Korn shell (ksh) are also
widely used. Linux offers Bash shell (bash) as a superior alternative to Bourne shell.
Preliminaries
1. Comments in shell script start with #.
2. Shell variables are loosely typed i.e. not declared. Variables in an expression or output
must be prefixed by $.
3. The read statement is shell's internal tool for making scripts interactive.
4. Output is displayed using echo statement.
5. Expressions are computed using the expr command. Arithmetic operators are + -
* / %. Meta characters * ( ) should be escaped with a \.
6. The shell scripts are executed
$ sh filename
Decision-making
Shell supports decision-making using if statement. The if statement like its
counterpart in programming languages has the following formats.
if [ condition if [ condition if [condition ]then

] then ] then statements
statements elif [ condition ]then
statements
fi else statements
statements .. .
fi else
statements
fi
36
The set of relational operators are –eq –ne –gt –ge –lt –le and logical operators used
in conditional expression are –a –o !
Multi-way branching
The case statement is used to compare a variables value against a set of constants. If
it matches a constant, then the set of statements followed after ) is executed till a ;; is
encountered. The optional default block is indicated by *. Multiple constants can be
specified in a single pattern separated by |.
case variable in
constant1)
statements ;;
constant2)
statements ;;
...
*)
statements
esac
Loops
Shell supports a set of loops such as for, while and until to execute a set of statements
repeatedly. The body of the loop is contained between do and done statement.
The for loop doesn't test a condition, but uses a list instead.
for variable in list

do
statements
done
The while loop executes the statements as long as the condition remains true.
while [ condition
] do
statements
done
The until loop complements the while construct in the sense that the statements are executed
as long as the condition remains false.
until [ condition
] do
statements
done

Exp. No. 5a FCFS SCHEDULING Date:
Aim
To schedule snapshot of processes queued according to FCFS scheduling.
Process Scheduling
 CPU scheduling is used in multiprogrammed operating systems.
 By switching CPU among processes, efficiency of the system can be improved.
 Some scheduling algorithms are FCFS, SJF, Priority, Round-Robin, etc.
 Gantt chart provides a way of visualizing CPU scheduling and enables to understand
better.
First Come First Serve (FCFS)

 Process that comes first is processed first
 FCFS scheduling is non-preemptive
 Not efficient as it results in long average waiting time.
 Can result in starvation, if processes at beginning of the queue have long bursts.
Algorithm
1. Define an array of structure process with members pid, btime, wtime & ttime.
2. Get length of the ready queue, i.e., number of process (say n)
3. Obtain btime for each process.
4. The wtime for first process is 0.
5. Compute wtime and ttime for each process as:
a. wtime
i+1 = wtimei + btimei
b. ttimei = wtimei + btimei
6. Compute average waiting time awat and average turnaround time atur
7. Display the btime, ttime and wtime for each process.

Exp. No. 5d ROUND ROBIN SCHEDULING Date:-
Aim
To schedule snapshot of processes queued according to Round robin scheduling.
Round Robin
 All processes are processed one by one as they have arrived, but in rounds.
 Each process cannot take more than the time slice per round.
 Round robin is a fair preemptive scheduling algorithm.
 A process that is yet to complete in a round is preempted after the time slice and put
at the end of the queue.
 When a process is completely processed, it is removed from the queue.
Algorithm
2. Obtain Burst time Bi for each processes Pi.
3. Get the time slice per round, say TS
4. Determine the number of rounds for each process.
5. The wait time for first process is 0.
6. If Bi > TS then process takes more than one round. Therefore turnaround and waiting
time should include the time spent for other remaining processes in the same round.
7. Calculate average waiting time and turn around time
8. Display the GANTT chart that includes
a. order in which the processes were processed in progression of rounds
b. Turnaround time Ti for each process in progression of rounds.
9. Display the burst time, turnaround time and wait time for each process (in order of
rounds they were processed).

Exp. No. 6 SEMAPHORE IMPLEMENTATION Date:
Aim
To demonstrate the utility of semaphore in synchronization and multithreading.
Semaphore
 The POSIX system in Linux has its own built-in semaphore library.
 To use it, include semaphore.h.
 Compile the code by linking with -lpthread -lrt.
 To lock a semaphore or wait, use the sem_wait function.
 To release or signal a semaphore, use the sem_post function.
 A semaphore is initialised by using sem_init(for processes or threads)
 To declare a semaphore, the data type is sem_t.
Algorithm
1. 2 threads are being created, one 2 seconds after the first one.
2. But the first thread will sleep for 4 seconds after acquiring the lock.
3. Thus the second thread will not enter immediately after it is called, it will enter 4 – 2
= 2 secs after it is called.
4. Stop.
Program
/* C program to demonstrate working of Semaphores */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <unistd.h>
sem_t mutex;
void* thread(void* arg)
// Wait
sem_wait(&mutex);
59
printf("\nEntered..\n");
// Critical Section
sleep(4);
// Signal
printf("\nJust Exiting...\n");
sem_post(&mutex);
return NULL;
int main()
sem_init(&mutex, 0, 1);
pthread_t t1, t2;
pthread_create(&t1, NULL, thread, NULL);
sleep(2); // Introducing a delay to ensure the
first thread enters the critical section first
pthread_create(&t2, NULL, thread, NULL);
pthread_join(t1, NULL);
pthread_join(t2, NULL);
sem_destroy(&mutex);
return 0;
60

Output
$ gcc sem.c -lpthread
$ ./a.out

Exp. No. 7 Fibonacci & Prime Number Date:
Aim
To generate 25 fibonacci numbers and determine prime amongst them using pipe.
Interprocess Communication
 Inter-Process communication (IPC), is the mechanism whereby one process can
communicate with another process, i.e exchange data.
 IPC in linux can be implemented using pipe, shared memory, message queue,
semaphore, signal or sockets.
Pipe
 Pipes are unidirectional byte streams which connect the standard output from one
process into the standard input of another process.
 A pipe is created using the system call pipe that returns a pair of file descriptors.
 The descriptor pfd[0] is used for reading and pfd[1] is used for writing.
 Can be used only between parent and child processes.
Algorithm
1. Declare a array to store fibonacci numbers
2. Decalre a array pfd with two elements for pipe descriptors.
3. Create pipe on pfd using pipe function call.
a. If return value is -1 then stop
4. Using fork system call, create a child process.
5. Let the child process generate 25 fibonacci numbers and store them in a array.
6. Write the array onto pipe using write system call.
7. Block the parent till child completes using wait system call.
8. Store fibonacci nos. written by child from the pipe in an array using read system call
9. Inspect each element of the fibonacci array and check whether they are prime
a. If prime then print the fibonacci term.

Exp. No 7d Shared Memory Date:-
Aim
To demonstrate communication between process using shared memory.
Shared memory
 Two or more processes share a single chunk of memory to communicate randomly.

4. Display shmid.
5. Attach server process to the shared memory using shmmat with shmid as parameter.
a. If pointer to the shared memory is not obtained, then stop.
6. Clear contents of the shared region using memset function.
7. Write a–z onto the shared memory.
8. Wait till client reads the shared memory contents

Exp. No 7 Producer-Consumer problem
Date:
Aim
To synchronize producer and consumer processes using semaphore.
Semaphores
 A semaphore is a counter used to synchronize access to a shared data amongst
multiple processes.
 To obtain a shared resource, the process should:
o
Test the semaphore that controls the resource.
o
If value is positive, it gains access and decrements value of semaphore.
o
If value is zero, the process goes to sleep and awakes when value is > 0.
 When a process relinquishes resource, it increments the value of semaphore by 1.
Producer-Consumer problem
 A producer process produces information to be consumed by a consumer process
 A producer can produce one item while the consumer is consuming another one.
 With bounded-buffer size, consumer must wait if buffer is empty, whereas producer
must wait if buffer is full.
 The buffer can be implemented using any IPC facility.
Algorithm
1. Create a shared memory segment BUFSIZE of size 1 and attach it.
2. Obtain semaphore id for variables empty, mutex and full using semget function.
3. Create semaphore for empty, mutex and full as follows:
a. Declare semun, a union of specific commands.
b. The initial values are: 1 for mutex, N for empty and 0 for full
c. Use semctl function with SETVAL command
a. Make the parent process to be the producer
b. Make the child process to the consumer
5. The producer produces 5 items as follows:
a. Call wait operation on semaphores empty and mutex using semop function.
b. Gain access to buffer and produce data for consumption
c. Call signal operation on semaphores mutex and full using semop function.
6. The consumer consumes 5 items as follows:
a. Call wait operation on semaphores full and mutex using semop function.
b. Gain access to buffer and consume the available data.
c. Call signal operation on semaphores mutex and empty using semop function.
7. Remove shared memory from the system using shmctl with IPC_RMID argument

Ex. No. 10 Threading and Synchronization
Date:
Aim
To demonstrate threading and synchronization using mutex.
Description
 Thread synchronization is defined as a mechanism which ensures that two or more
concurrent processes or threads do not simultaneously execute some particular
program segment known as critical section.
 Processes’ access to critical section is controlled by using synchronization techniques.
 When one thread starts executing the critical section (serialized segment of the
program) the other thread should wait until the first thread finishes.
 If proper synchronization techniques are not applied, it may cause a race condition
where the values of variables may be unpredictable
 A Mutex is a lock that we set before using a shared resource and release after using it.
 When the lock is set, no other thread can access the locked region of code. So this
ensures a synchronized access of shared resources in the code.
Algorithm
1. Create two threads
2. Let the threads share a common resource, say counter
3. Even if thread2 si scheduled to start while thread was not done, access to shared
resource is not done as it is locked by mutex
4. Once thread1 completes, thread2 starts execution
5. Stop
Program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
pthread_t tid[2];
int counter;

void* trythis(void *arg)

{
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
unsigned long i = 0;
counter += 1;
printf("\nJob %d has started\n", counter);
for(i = 0; i < (0xFFFFFFFF); i++);
printf("\nJob %d has finished\n", counter);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
return NULL;
}

int main()
{
int i = 0;
int error;
if (pthread_mutex_init(&lock, NULL) != 0)

printf("\nMutex init has failed\n");
return 1;
}
while (i < 2)
{
error = pthread_create(&(tid[i]), NULL, &trythis, NULL); if
(error != 0)
printf("\nThread can't be created: [%s]", strerror(error)); i++;
}
pthread_join(tid[0], NULL);
pthread_join(tid[1], NULL);
pthread_mutex_destroy(&lock);
return 0;
}
Output
$ gcc filename.c -lpthread
$ ./a.out
Job 1 started
Job 1 finished
Job 2 started
Job 2 finished
Result
Thus concurrent threads were synchronized using mutex lock.

Aim
To allocate memory requirements for processes using first fit allocation.
Memory Management
 The first-fit, best-fit, or worst-fit strategy is used to select a free hole from the set of
available holes.
First fit
 Allocate the first hole that is big enough.
 Searching starts from the beginning of set of holes.
Algorithm
1. Declare structures hole and process to hold information about set of holes and
processes respectively.
2. Get number of holes, say nh.
3. Get the size of each hole
4. Get number of processes, say np.
5. Get the memory requirements for each process.
6. Allocate processes to holes, by examining each hole as follows:
a. If hole size > process size then
i. Mark process as allocated to that hole.
ii. Decrement hole size by process size.
b. Otherwise check the next from the set of hole
7. Print the list of process and their allocated holes or unallocated status.
8. Print the list of holes, their actual and current availability.

Exp. No. 13 FIFO Page Replacement
Aim
To implement demand paging for a reference string using FIFO method.
FIFO
 Page replacement is based on when the page was brought into memory.
 When a page should be replaced, the oldest one is chosen.
 Generally, implemented using a FIFO queue.
 Simple to implement, but not efficient.
 Results in more page faults.
 The page-fault may increase, even if frame size is increased (Belady's anomaly)
Algorithm
1. Get length of the reference string, say l.
2. Get reference string and store it in an array, say rs.
3. Get number of frames, say nf.
4. Initalize frame array upto length nf to -1.
5. Initialize position of the oldest page, say j to 0.
6. Initialize no. of page faults, say count to 0.
7. For each page in reference string in the given order, examine:
a. Check whether page exist in the frame array
b. If it does not exist then
i. Replace page in position j.
ii. Compute page replacement position as (j+1) modulus nf.
iii. Increment count by 1.
iv. Display pages in frame array.
8. Print count.

Exp. No. 13b LRU Page Replacement Date:-
Aim
To implement demand paging for a reference string using LRU method.
LRU
 Pages used in the recent past are used as an approximation of future usage.
 The page that has not been used for a longer period of time is replaced.
 LRU is efficient but not optimal.
 Implementation of LRU requires hardware support, such as counters/stack.
Algorithm
1. Get length of the reference string, say len.
2. Get reference string and store it in an array, say rs.
3. Get number of frames, say nf.
4. Create access array to store counter that indicates a measure of recent usage.
5. Create a function arrmin that returns position of minimum of the given array.
6. Initalize frame array upto length nf to -1.
7. Initialize position of the page replacement, say j to 0.
8. Initialize freq to 0 to track page frequency
9. Initialize no. of page faults, say count to 0.
10. For each page in reference string in the given order, examine:
a. Check whether page exist in the frame array.
b. If page exist in memory then
i. Store incremented freq for that page position in access array.
c. If page does not exist in memory then
i. Check for any empty frames.
ii. If there is an empty frame,
 Assign that frame to the page
 Store incremented freq for that page position in access array.
 Increment count.
iii. If there is no free frame then
 Determine page to be replaced using arrmin function.
 Store incremented freq for that page position in access array.
 Increment count.
iv. Display pages in frame array.

Exp. No. 15a Contiguous Allocation Date:-
Aim
To implement file allocation on free disk space in a contiguous manner.
File Allocation
The three methods of allocating disk space are:
1. Contiguous allocation
2. Linked allocation
3. Indexed allocation
Contiguous
 Each file occupies a set of contiguous block on the disk.
 The number of disk seeks required is minimal.
 The directory contains address of starting block and number of contiguous block
(length) occupied.
 Supports both sequential and direct access.
 First / best fit is commonly used for selecting a hole.
Algorithm
1. Assume no. of blocks in the disk as 20 and all are free.
2. Display the status of disk blocks before allocation.
3. For each file to be allocated:
a. Get the filename, start address and file length
b. If start + length > 20, then goto step 2.
c. Check to see whether any block in the range (start, start + length-1) is
allocated. If so, then go to step 2.
d. Allocate blocks to the file contiguously from start block to start + length – 1.
4. Display directory entries.
5. Display status of disk blocks after allocation
6. Stop
Program
/* Contiguous Allocation - cntalloc.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int num = 0, length[10], start[10];
char fid[20][4], a[20][4];
void directory()
121
{
int i;
printf("\nFile Start Length\n");
for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
printf("%-4s %3d %6d\n", fid[i],
start[i], length[i]);
void display()
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
printf("%4d", i);
printf("\n");
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
printf("%4s", a[i]);
int main()
int i, n, k, temp, st, nb, ch, flag;
char id[4];
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
strcpy(a[i], "");
122
printf("Disk space before
allocation:\n");
display();
do
printf("\nEnter File name (max 3
char) : ");
scanf("%s", id);
printf("Enter start block : ");
scanf("%d", &st);
printf("Enter no. of blocks : ");
scanf("%d", &nb);
strcpy(fid[num], id);
length[num] = nb;
flag = 0;
if ((st + nb) > 20)
printf("Requirement exceeds
range\n");
continue;
for (i = st; i < (st + nb); i++)
if (strcmp(a[i], "") != 0)
123
flag = 1;
if (flag == 1)
printf("Contiguous allocation
not possible.\n");
continue;
start[num] = st;
for (i = st; i < (st + nb); i++)
strcpy(a[i], id);
printf("Allocation done\n");
num++;
printf("\nAny more allocation (1.
yes / 2. no)? : ");
scanf("%d", &ch);
} while (ch == 1);
printf("\n\t\t\tContiguous
Allocation\n");
printf("Directory:");
124
directory(); printf("\
nDisk space after
allocation:\n");
display();
return 0;}
Output
Disk space before allocation:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Enter File name (max 3 char) :

cp Enter start block : 14
Enter no. of blocks :
3 Allocation done
Any more allocation (1. yes / 2. no)? : 1

tr Enter start block : 18
Enter no. of blocks : 3
Requirement exceeds
range

tr Enter start block : 10
3 Allocation done

mv Enter start block : 0
2 Allocation done

ps Enter start block : 12
Enter no. of blocks : 3
Contiguous allocation not possible.
Contiguous Allocation
Directory:
File Start
Length cp 14
3
tr 10 3
mv 0 2
Disk space after allocation:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
mv mv tr tr tr cp cp cp
Result
Thus contiguous allocation is done for files with the available free blocks.
125
Ex. No. 15b LINKED FILE ALLOCATION Date:
Aim
To st
Linked
 Each file is a linked list of disk blocks.
 The directory contains a pointer to first and last blocks of the file.
 The first block contains a pointer to the second one, second to third and so on.
 File size need not be known in advance, as in contiguous allocation.
 No external fragmentation.
 Supports sequential access only.
Indexed
 In indexed allocation, all pointers are put in a single block known as index block.
 The directory contains address of the index block.
 The ith entry in the index block points to ith block of the file.
 Indexed allocation supports direct access.
 It suffers from pointer overhead, i.e wastage of space in storing pointers.
Algorithm
1. Get no. of files
2. Accept filenames and no. of blocks fo each file
3. Obtrain start block for each file
4. Obtain other blocks for each file
5. Check block availability before allocation
6. If block is unavailable then report error
7. Accept file name
8. Display linked file allocation blocks for that file
9. Stop
Program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
static int b[20], i, j, blocks[20][20];
char F[20][20], S[20];
int sb[20], eb[20], x, n;
printf("\n Enter no. of Files ::");

scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)

{
printf("\n Enter file %d name ::", i + 1);
scanf("%s", F[i]);
printf("\n Enter No. of blocks::");
126
scanf("%d", &b[i]);
}
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)

{
printf("\n Enter Starting block of file%d::", i + 1);
scanf("%d", &sb[i]);
printf("\nEnter blocks for file%d::\n", i + 1);
for (j = 0; j < b[i]; j++)
{
printf("\n Enter the %d block ::", j + 1);
scanf("%d", &x);
if (b[i] != 0)
{
blocks[i][j] = x;
}
else
{
printf("\n Invalid block::");
}
}
}
127
printf("\nEnter the Filename :");
scanf("%s", S);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)

{
if (strcmp(F[i], S) == 0)
{
printf("\nFname\tBsize\tStart\tBlocks\n");
printf("\n\t\n");
printf("\n%s\t%d\t%d\t", F[i], b[i], sb[i]);
printf("%d->", sb[i]);
for (j = 0; j < b[i]; j++)
{
if (b[i] != 0)
printf("%d->", blocks[i][j]);
}
}
}
printf("\n\t\n");
return 0;
}
Output
Enter no. of Files ::2
Enter file 1 name ::fcfs

Enter No. of blocks::3
Enter file 2 name ::sjf

Enter No. of blocks::2
Enter Starting block of file1::8

Enter blocks for file1::
Enter the 2block ::3
128
Enter Starting block of file2::2
Enter blocks for file2::
Enter the Filename ::fcfs
Fname Bsize Start Blocks

---------------------------------------------
fcfs 3 8 8->3->5
-------------------------------------------
Result
Thus blocks for file were allocation using linked allocation method.

1 BASIC UNIX COMMANDS Date :

[vijai@localhost /]$ cd /home/vijai/shellscripts/loops/

$ cat > greet

$ cat >> greet

$ cmp list.sh fact.sh

$ chmod ug+x list.sh

getpid() and getppid()

 The getpid system call returns process ID of the calling process

1. Create a child process using fork system call.

1. Create a child process using fork system call.

// Create a child process

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

if ((n = stat(argv[1], &file)) == -1)

printf("User id : %d\n", file.st_uid);

if(S_ISREG(file.st_mode)) printf("File type : Regular\n");

Thus attributes of a file is displayed using stat system call.

opendir(), readdir()and closedir()

 The opendir system call is used to open a directory

main(int argc, char *argv[])

if((dname = opendir(argv[1])) == NULL)

/* File creation - fcreate.c */

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0644);

printf("Press Ctrl+D at the end of a new line:\n");

1. Declare a character buffer buf to store 100 bytes.

/* File Read - fread.c */

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

/* File append - fappend.c */

int main(int argc, char

while((n = read(STDIN_FILENO,buf, sizeof(buf))) > 0)

To simulate ls command using UNIX system calls.

/* ls command simulation - list.c */

struct dirent **namelist;

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)

$ gcc list.c -o list

Thus the filenames/subdirectories are listed, similar to ls command

To simulate grep command using UNIX system call.

1. Get filename and search string as command-line argument.

/* grep command simulation - mygrep.c */

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

printf("%s does not exist\n",

while (fgets(str, sizeof(str), fd) !=

for (i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++)

for (k = 0; k <= strlen(str)

temp[m] = str[k + m];

$ gcc mygrep.c -o mygrep

$ ./mygrep printf dirlist.c

To simulate cp command using UNIX system call.

1. Get source and destination filename as command-line argument.

/* cp command simulation - copy.c */

#define SIZE 1024

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

int src, dst, nread;

<filename> <newfile>\n", argv[0]);

O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0644))

while ((nread = read(src, buf,

if (write(dst, buf, nread)
