<p> Unix-Linux 1</p><p>Source code – ASCII format Binary code – runable binary format Object code – special intermediate code</p><p>Library (archive) Files  /usr/lib  /usr/local/lib</p><p> Library Functions -- Runtime Library Procedures o Static Libraries  collections stored in object code to be used during linking phase</p><p> o Shared Object Libraries  relocatable objects to be shared by more than one process</p><p> o library file prefix – lib o library file extension -- .a</p><p> Unix archive utility – ar  used to create libraries  modify libraries  extract members from a library  insert members into an existing library </p><p>Unix Manual Appendix A  Synopsis Section o List of the required “include” files, function prototypes, external variables, etc. e.g., $man perror  #include <stdio.h> void perror(const char *s) #include<error.h> const char *sys_errlist[ ]; Int sys_nerr; Managing Failure – see text</p><p>Process Memory  Text Segment  Data Segment  Stack Segment  u-Area Process Memory Addresses The addresses of the external variables  etext  edata  end correspond respectively to the first valid address above the segments  text  initialized data  unutilized data</p><p>Creating a Process  Startup – kernel BSD Unix Solaris o swapper pid 0 sched or fsflush o init pid 1 init o pagedaemon pid 2 pageout  User – children of init, i.e., pid 1</p><p>Process Environment  Process Group ID  parent is process group leader  parent pid == process group pid o descendents of the parent are members of the group o signals to process group  getpgpid( )  returns process group pid to the calling member of the group  setpgpid(pgpid)  changes process group to the specified group-pid, i.e., pgpid  stpgpid(0)  calling process becomes the group leader</p><p>Permissions $ls –l  displays permission numbers of all files listed $ls .*  displays all hidden files in current directory e.g., .exrc  startup info for vi :set numbers  files r w x  directories o r  display o w  files/links can be inserted or deleted o x  directory can be traversed, i.e., files listed in the directory can be accessed creation mask  executable files 777  directories 777  text files 666</p><p> umask  default – system administrator – 022  .login or .profile file o $umask nnn where nnn is the  new umask value  new umask value XOR creation mask value  the desired new permission number</p><p> e.g., to obtain permission numbers of 700 for all new text files, the umask value should be set to 166  e.g., to obtain permission numbers of 700 for all new  executable files  directories the umask value should be set to 077</p><p>Privacy  create new files, directories, executable files  check the permissions granted  after creation, use chmod( ) to change the mode to the desired setting </p><p>Real User & & ID’s Effective Group </p><p> real user ID (UID) user real group ID (GID)  maps to group names stored in /etc/group maximum(UID, GID) found in the defined constant maxid located in <sys.param.h> file File Systems</p><p>User Space</p><p>Kernel Space u-area u-area fd fd</p><p>System System File Inode Table Table System Calls  status  stat data structure o stat o lstat o fstat  change mode o chmode – char * reference o fchmod – integer file descriptor number  umask o returns old umask value o which, if saved, can be used to restore the previous setting  getcwd -- returns a pointer to the current working directory pathname  chdir – change directory o no argument  returns to the users home directory o /  root directory o ../  parent directory o ./comp322 subdirectory 322</p><p>Resource Limits  Resources o cputime o filesize o datasize – data+stack segment size o stacksize -- stack segment size o coredumpsize – core dump file size o descriptors – number of file descriptors</p><p> $limit  soft limits – limits that can be changed by the user  $limit –h  hard limits – limits that can only be increased by the superuser  ulimit  getrlimit  setrlimit  sysconfig</p><p>Signaling Processes  event requiring attention  signal  signal – software generated  generated by o hardware  attempt to address space outside its own address space  divide by zero o kernel – notifying process that an I/O device is available o other processes – child process notifying parent process that it is terminating o user – keyboard signal  quit  interrupt  stop signal Potential Process Actions  perform the system-specified default action a) notify parent of termination b) generate a core file – current memory image c) terminate  ignore the signal a) cannot ignore SIG-STOP (23) b) cannot ignore SIGKILL (9)  catch the signal a) invoke a special signal handling routine b) after execution of the routine, the process, if appropriate, resumes where it left off c) exceptions o cannot catch SIG-STOP (23) o cannot catch SIGKILL (9)</p><p>Command Line Values void main(int argc, char *argv[ ]) { for( ;

 environmental variables are stored in Process Memory o Process Memory is fixed in size o environmental variables can be modified by the process but not expanded </p><p> changing environmental variables by o adding new variables o modifying variables in such a way that it requires additional storage space is discouraged unless one investigates the ramifications very carefully!</p><p> addresses associated with environmental variables are changed when a new environmental variable is added  child processes inherit a copy of the environmental variables from the parent</p>
