Exercise Problem Statements CO PO

Number

1. a) Write a C program to display the file content in reverse order using lseek CO1 PO 1-3
system call.
b) Write a C program to create a child process and show how parent
and child processes will share the text file and justify that both
parent and child share the same file offset.

2. a) Write a C program to display various details of a file using stat CO1 PO 1-3
structure (At least 5 fields).
b) Write a C program to simulate system function.

3. a) Write a C program to remove empty files from the given directory. CO1 PO 1-3
b) Write a C program to implement ls –li command which lists the
files in a specified directory. Your program should Print 5 attributes
of files.

4. a) Write a C program to demonstrate the creation of soft links and CO1 PO 1-3
hard links. CO2
b) Write a C program to
i. To create a child process.
ii. The child should execute an interpreter file by passing a few
arguments
iii. Create an interpreter file that has the path of echoall.c file and
pass one argument
iv. Create echoall.c file which prints the arguments received from
both child process and interpreter file.

5. a) Write a program to copy access and modification time of a file to CO2 PO 1-3
another file using utime function. CO3
b) Write a C program using sigaction system call which calls a signal
handler on SIGINT signal and then reset the default action of the
SIGINT signal.

6. a) Write a program to read n characters from a file and append them CO1 PO 1-3
back to the same file using dup2 function. CO2
b) Consider the last 100 bytes as a region. Write a C program to check
whether the region is locked or not. If the region is locked, print pid
of the process which has locked. If the region is not locked, lock
the region with an exclusive lock, read the last 50 bytes and unlock
the region.

7. a) Write a C program to illustrate the effect of setjmp and longjmp CO2 PO 1-3
functions on register and volatile variables.
b) C program to simulate copy command by accepting the filenames
from the command line. Report all errors.

8. a) Write a C program that takes the file name as an argument and prints CO1 PO 1-3
the type of the given file. CO2
b) Write a C program to perform the following operations
i. To create a child process
ii. The child process should execute a program (using exec( )) to
show the use of the access function
iii. The parent process should wait for the child process to exit
iv. Also print the necessary process IDs

9. a) Write a C program to demonstrate the usage of umask and chmod CO1 PO 1-3
functions.
b) Write a C program
i. To read the first 20 characters from a file
ii. seek to 10th byte from the beginning and display 20 characters
from there
iii. seek 10 bytes ahead from the current file offset and display 20
characters
iv. Display the file size

10. a) Write a C program such that it initializes itself as a Daemon Process. CO3 PO 1-3
b) Demonstrate the working of wait and waitpid system calls with a CO2
program

11. a) Write a program to differentiate between dup and dup2 functions CO1 PO 1-3
HOD, Dept. of CSE
 b) Write a program to perform the following operations CO3
i) To create a child process
ii) The child process should execute a separate program (using exec
function) that calculates the addition of two numbers by passing two
integer values.
iii) The parent process should wait for a child to complete

12. a) Write a program to demonstrate the zombie state of a process and CO2 PO 1-3
provide the solution for the same.
b) Write a C program to perform the following operations
i) To create a child and parent process with the use of an echoall
file.
ii) The Child should execute a process that prints the user defined
values of environment variables
iii) The Parent should execute a process that prints default values
for the environment variables.
