Problem 1: Concepts (35 Points, Please be concise)
a. [8 points] The standard I/O library offers two primary advantages over the low-level Unix interface. Name them and briefly explain why they are an advantage.
b. [6 points] When does random I/O provide an advantage over sequential I/O?
c. [8 points] In Unix, the write system call can fail (return -1) in a variety of ways. Describe two of them.
2

d. [8 points] Consider the code fragment below. The CPU executes the code in the order specified by the number. What is the value of X at points 3, 5, and 7?
1. int X = 3;
2. if (fork() != 0) {
4. X=4; 7. print X;
} else {
3. print X;
5. print X;
6. X = 7;
}
e. [5 points] A file contains 1K bytes and has the following names: /usr/f1, /usr/f2, /usr/f3. The directory entries for /usr are the following:
Name i-node
==========
f1 23
f2 23
f3 23
How much disk storage does this file occupy (for the file contents only)?

Problem 2: Analyze this! (15 Pts)
Consider the following code fragment. For each write statement, indicate where the I/O will be sent (e.g. file name, stdout, or an error). Also, show the state of the file descriptor (fd) tables for parent and child at points A and B.
int main () {
int fd1, fd2, fd3, fd4;
fd1 = open (“foo”, O_RDWR);
fd2 = open (“bar”, O_RDWR);
fd3 = open (“baz”, O_RDWR);
fd4 = open (“baw”, O_RDWR);
link (“foo”, “txt”);
dup2 (1, fd3);
dup2 (fd2, 1);
if (fork() == 0) {
dup2 (fd1, fd4);
close (fd1);
write (fd3, “aaa”, 3);
write (1, “bbb”, 3);
write (fd2, “ccc”, 3);
write (fd1, “ddd”, 3);
// point A }
else {
write (fd1, “fff”, 3);
dup2 (fd1, fd3);
write (fd3, “eee”, 3);
write (fd4, “ggg”, 3);
// point B }
}

Problem 3: Processes and IPC (25 Pts)
A parent process creates and communicates with a set of K child processes. The parent communicates a series of messages of type m_t specific to that child. The child does not know how many messages will be sent. You will use a pipe between each parent-child process pair – the parent will send the message and the child will receive the message. Close any file descriptors you do not need. Make sure all processes terminate correctly. The parent calls a function int get_next_msg_to_send (m_t *msg, int *id) that returns the next message to send to a child (msg) and the child id (id) is a value between [0, K-1]. When there are no more messages this function returns a 0. For each message received, the child calls do_something_with_msg (msg). Hint: an array of pipes will be handy. You do not need to put in any error checking. You do not need to program get_next_msg_to_send/ do_something_with_msg, just use them.
#define K 10
void main () {
m_t msg;
// fork processes and create pipes
// child code
// parent code
}

Problem 4: Programming I/O (25 Pts)
Write the function fputs_simple that writes a string to an open FILE (it is a simpler version of the stdio function). You may find the function int fileno (FILE *stream) useful: it returns the low-level file descriptor (fd) associated with a FILE stream. Recall that stdio functions such as fputs operate on internal buffers as will fputs_simple. Assume the buffer is a char array of size BufSize. You may use only low-level I/O routines to implement fputs_simple. You may also use strlen which returns the length of a string. You do not need to put in any error checking. Hint: think about when the internal buffer gets sent to the OS.
// Here are the declarations for internal buffering – add more declarations if needed
char internal_buf [BufSize];
// fputs returns the number of bytes written from the string str int fputs (char *str, FILE *f) {

System call signatures (not all may be needed):
pid_t fork();
int execl (const char *path, const char *arg0, … const char *argn);
int pipe (int ends[2]);
int dup2 (int fd1, int fd2);
off_t lseek (int fd, off_t offset, SEEK_SET);
pid_t wait (int *stat_loc);
pid_t waitpid (pid_t pid, int *stat_loc, int options); int strlen (char *str);
int fstat (int fd, struct stat *sb);
void exit (int status);
