Read chapter 12 of the book Linux system call categories file management process management error handling note that these categories are loosely defined and much is behind included, e.g. communication. Why? 1 System calls File management system call hierarchy you may not see some topics as part of “file management”, e.g., sockets 2 System calls Process management system call hierarchy 3 System calls Error handling hierarchy 4 Error Handling Anything can fail! System calls are no exception Try to read a file that does not exist! Error number: errno every process contains a global variable errno errno is set to 0 when process is created when error occurs errno is set to a specific code associated with the error cause trying to open file that does not exist sets errno to 2 5 Error Handling error constants are defined in errno.h here are the first few of errno.h on OS X 10.6.4 #define EPERM 1 /* Operation not permitted */ #define ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */ #define ESRCH 3 /* No such process */ #define EINTR 4 /* Interrupted system call */ #define EIO 5 /* Input/output error */ #define ENXIO 6 /* Device not configured */ #define E2BIG 7 /* Argument list too long */ #define ENOEXEC 8 /* Exec format error */ #define EBADF 9 /* Bad file descriptor */ #define ECHILD 10 /* No child processes */ #define EDEADLK 11 /* Resource deadlock avoided */ 6 Error Handling common mistake for displaying errno from Linux errno man page: 7 Error Handling Description of the perror () system call.

    11.7 the Windows 2000 File System

    830 CASE STUDY 2: WINDOWS 2000 CHAP. 11 11.7 THE WINDOWS 2000 FILE SYSTEM Windows 2000 supports several file systems, the most important of which are FAT-16, FAT-32, and NTFS (NT File System). FAT-16 is the old MS-DOS file system. It uses 16-bit disk addresses, which limits it to disk partitions no larger than 2 GB. FAT-32 uses 32-bit disk addresses and supports disk partitions up to 2 TB. NTFS is a new file system developed specifically for Windows NT and car- ried over to Windows 2000. It uses 64-bit disk addresses and can (theoretically) support disk partitions up to 264 bytes, although other considerations limit it to smaller sizes. Windows 2000 also supports read-only file systems for CD-ROMs and DVDs. It is possible (even common) to have the same running system have access to multiple file system types available at the same time. In this chapter we will treat the NTFS file system because it is a modern file system unencumbered by the need to be fully compatible with the MS-DOS file system, which was based on the CP/M file system designed for 8-inch floppy disks more than 20 years ago. Times have changed and 8-inch floppy disks are not quite state of the art any more. Neither are their file systems. Also, NTFS differs both in user interface and implementation in a number of ways from the UNIX file system, which makes it a good second example to study. NTFS is a large and complex system and space limitations prevent us from covering all of its features, but the material presented below should give a reasonable impression of it.
