Inodes are allocated from a free inode list and contain information about the file as well as pointers to data blocks.
The document discusses signals and daemon processes in Unix system programming. It covers:
1) Signals are software interrupts that allow processes to handle asynchronous events. Processes can accept default signal actions, ignore signals, or catch signals using user-defined handlers.
2) Common signals include SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGKILL. The signal() function allows processes to set handlers for signals.
3) Daemons are long-running background processes that handle system services. Daemons detach from the controlling terminal and session.
Unix uses processes to run programs and operating system functions. There are two types of processes - system processes which execute OS code and user processes which execute user programs. Processes can be in different states like running, ready, blocked etc. The kernel manages processes using data structures like process table entry and user area. Important process management operations include forking to create new processes, wait/exit for process termination, and signals for inter-process communication.
The kernel manages processes, memory, and I/O. It has two levels - user level and kernel level. Processes interact with the kernel through system calls. A process contains text, data, stack, and a U area. The kernel uses process tables, region tables, and context switches to manage multiple simultaneous processes. The file system contains boot blocks, super blocks, inode lists, and data blocks to organize files on disk. Processes can create new processes using the fork system call.

What is a Kernel? : Introduction And Architecturepec2013
An Assembly car that has all stuffs except exteriors.This assembly is responsible for the movement of car and various other functions but we cannot travel in it as it has no seats or exteriors.
This assembly is analogous to kernel. Without it operating system is nothing. More formally, we can also call kernel a type of micro OS that handles all the very important functions.
While the main OS contains various other functions and kernel in the same way the car has shafts and tyres for rotations.
1) A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. Functions increase code reusability and improve readability.
2) There are two types of functions - predefined library functions and user-defined functions. User-defined functions are customized functions created by the user.
3) The main() function is where program execution begins. It can call other functions, which may themselves call additional functions. This creates a hierarchical relationship between calling and called functions.

function in in thi pdf you will learn what is fu...kushwahashivam413
Functions in C can be divided into library functions and user-defined functions. Library functions are predefined in header files while user-defined functions are created by the programmer. There are three aspects of a function - declaration, definition, and call. The function declaration specifies the return type and parameters. The function definition contains the actual body of statements. The function call executes the function. Functions can be passed arguments and return values. Arguments can be passed by value or by reference, affecting whether changes inside the function affect the original variables.
The document discusses functions and static variables in C++. It covers topics like:
- Creating functions, invoking functions, and passing arguments to functions.
- Determining the scope of local and global variables.
- Understanding the differences between pass-by-value and pass-by-reference.
- Using function overloading and dealing with ambiguous overloading.
- Using function prototypes for declaring function headers.
- Knowing how to use default arguments.
- Static variables.
1. Functions allow programmers to break complex problems into smaller, discrete tasks, making code more modular and reusable. Functions perform specific tasks and can optionally return values or receive parameters.
2. There are two types of functions - predefined functions from standard libraries like stdio.h and math.h, and user-defined functions created for specialized tasks. Functions have a name, parameters, return type, and body.
3. Functions improve code organization and readability. They separate implementation from interface and allow code reuse. Parameters can be passed by value, where copies are used, or by reference, where the function can modify the original arguments.

Key functions described include ring_ext.h for defining extension modules, ring_ext.c for loading the modules, and ring_vm_funcregister for registering C functions in Ring. Extension modules are organized with include files, registration functions, and following the Ring API for parameter checking and returning values.
An Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a functional block of any
processor. It is used to perform arithmetical and logical
operations. ALU’s are designed to perform integer based
operations. In this module, we have designed an ALU which
performs certain specific operations on 32 bit numbers.
The arithmetic operations performed are: Addition, subtraction
and multiplication. The logical operations performed are: AND,
OR, XNOR, left shift and right shift.
The behavioral Verilog code and testbench were simulated using
MODELSIM to verify the functionality.
The individual gates (INVERTER, NAND2, NOR2, XOR2, OAI3222,
AOI22, MUX2:1) which constituted to the cell library were laid out
in CADENCE. The DRC and LVS run were successfully completed
to ensure usage. These individual layouts were combined and the
combined DRC was run without any errors.
The D flip flop (DFF) was laid out and the static timing analysis
were done using Waveform viewer and it’s functionality was
verified and the D flip flop times were calculated.
By putting together these cells which were designed, the ALU was
developed and the outputs were obtained.
Y. N. D. Aravind presents on functions in C programming. The presentation covers:
- The objectives of functions, parameters, arrays, and recursion.
- The definition of a function as reusable block of code that performs a specific task.
- The four categories of functions based on arguments and return values.
- Passing arguments to functions by value (copying) versus by reference (address).
The document discusses different types of functions in C programming. It begins by explaining what functions are and their basic components like function name, arguments, return type, etc. It then describes the four categories of functions:
1) Functions with no arguments and no return values
2) Functions with arguments but no return values
3) Functions with arguments and return values
4) Functions with no arguments but return values
Examples of each category are provided to illustrate how they work. The document also covers other topics like library functions, user-defined functions, and differences between local and global variables.
The document introduces different types of functions in C++ including user-defined internal and external functions, and describes how to define functions with parameters and return types, declare function prototypes, and call functions from within a main program or from other functions. It provides examples of functions that calculate the absolute value of a number, add up hours, minutes and seconds, print a diamond pattern, and calculate the area of a circle.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
3. MAIN FUNCTION
PROTOTYPE:
int main(int argc, char *argv[ ]);
Argc – is the number of command line
arguments
argv [ ] – is an array of pointers to the
arguments
3
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
4. A C program is started by a kernel
A special start up routine is called before
the main function is called
This start up routine takes values from the
kernel and sets things up so that the main
function is called
4
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
5. Process termination
Normal termination
* return from main
* calling exit
* calling _exit
Abnormal termination
* calling abort
* terminated by a signal
5
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
6. exit and _exit functions
_exit returns to kernel immediately
exit performs certain cleanup processing
and then returns to kernel
PROTOTYPE
#include <stdlib.h>
void _exit (int status)
void exit (int status)
6
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
7. The exit status is undefined if
1. Either of these function is called without
an exit status
2. Main does a return without a return value
3. Main “falls of the end”
7
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
8. At exit function
With ANSI C a process can register up to
32 functions that are called by exit ---called
exit handlers
Exit handlers are registered by calling the
atexit function
#include <stdlib.h>
Int atexit (void (*clearfun) void));
8
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
9. Atexit function calls these functions in
reverse order of their registration
Each function is called as many times as
it was registered
9
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
10. #include "ourhdr.h"
static void my_exit1(void), my_exit2(void);
int main(void)
{
if (atexit(my_exit2) != 0)
err_sys("can't register my_exit2");
if (atexit(my_exit1) != 0)
err_sys("can't register my_exit1");
if (atexit(my_exit1) != 0)
err_sys("can't register my_exit1");
printf("main is donen");
return(0);
}

12. Command-line arguments
/* program to echo command line
arguments*/
int main (int argc, char* argv[ ])
{
for(int i=0;i<argc ;i++)
{
printf(“argv[%d]:%s n”,i,argv[i]);
}
}
12

13. Environment list
Environment list – is an array of character
pointers ,where each pointer contains the
address of a null terminated C string
The address of array of pointers is
contained in global variable environ
extern char **environ;
each string is of the form name=value
13
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
15. Memory layout of a C program
Text segment – sharable copy
Initialized data segment – variables
specifically initialized in the program
Uninitialized data segment – “bss”
segment
data is initialized to arithematic 0 or null
Stack – return address and information
about caller’s environment
Heap – dynamic memory allocation takes
place on the heap
15
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
17. The size(1) command reports
the sizes (in bytes) of the text,
data, and bss segments#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}
.
17
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
18. Shared libraries
Shared libraries remove the common
library routines from the executable file ,
instead maintaining a single copy of the
library routine some where in memory
that all processes reference
Advantage: reduces size of executable
file,
easy to replace with a newer version
Disadvantage: some- runtime overhead
18
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
19. Linking: Here is where all of the object files and
any libraries are linked together to make your
final program. Note that for static libraries, the
actual library is placed in your final program,
while for shared libraries, only a reference to the
library is placed inside.
19
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
21. Memory allocation
malloc : allocates specified number of
bytes of memory
calloc : allocates specified number of
objects of specified size
realloc : changes size of previous
allocated area
21
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
22. #include <stdlib.h>
void *malloc (size_t size);
void *calloc (size_t nobj, size_t size);
void *realloc (void *ptr, size_t newsize);
realloc may increase or decrease the
size of previously allocated area .If it
decreases the size no problem occurs
But if the size increases then………….
22
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
23. 1. Either there is enough space then the
memory is reallocated and the same
pointer is returned
2. If there is no space then it allocates new
area copies the contents of old area to
new area frees the old area and returns
pointer to the new area
23
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
24. Alloca function
It is same as malloc but instead of
allocating memory from heap, the memory
allocated from the stack frame of the
current function
24
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
25. Environment variables
Environment strings are of the form
name=value
ANSI C defined functions
#include <stdlib.h>
char *getenv (const char *name);
int putenv (const char *str);
int setenv (const char *name, const char
*value ,int rewrite);
void unsetenv (const char *name);
25
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
26. Getenv : fetches a specific value from the
environment
Putenv : takes a string of the form
name=value , if it already exists then
old value is removed
Setenv : sets name to value. If name
already exists then a) if rewrite is non zero,
then old definition is removed
b) if rewrite is zero old definition is
retained
Unsetenv : removes any definition of name
26
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
27. Removing an environment variable is
simple just find the pointer and move all
subsequent pointers down one
But while modifying
* if size of new value<=size of old value
just copy new string over the old string
* if new value >oldvalue use malloc obtain
room for new string, replace the old
pointer in environment list for name
with pointer to this malloced area
27
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
28. While adding a new name call malloc
allocate room for name=value string and
copy the string to this area
If it’s the first time a new name is added ,
use malloc to obtain area for new list of
pointers. Copy the old list of pointers to
the malloced area and add the new
pointer to its end
If its not the first time a new name was
added ,then just reallocate area for new
pointer since the list is already on the
heap
28
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
29. Set jump and long jump
To transfer control from one function to
another we make use of setjmp and
longjmp functions
#include <stdio.h>
int setjmp (jmp_buf env);
void longjmp (jmp_buf env, int val);
29
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
30. env is of type jmp_buf ,this data type is
form of array that is capable of holding all
information required to restore the status
of the stack to the state when we call
longjmp
Val allows us to have more than one
longjmp for one setjmp
30
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
31. #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
int main()
{ int val;
jmp_buf env_buffer; /* save calling environment
for longjmp */
val = setjmp( env_buffer );
if( val != 0 )
{ printf("Returned from a longjmp() with value =
%sn", val); exit(0); }
31
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
32. printf("Jump function calln");
jmpfunction( env_buffer );
return(0); }
void jmpfunction(jmp_buf env_buf)
{ longjmp(env_buf, “RLJITCSE"); }
Output:
Jump function call
Returned from a longjmp()
with value = RLJITCSE 32
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor

33. getrlimit and setrlimit
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
int getrlimit (int resource ,struct
rlimit *rlptr);
int setrlimit (int resource ,const struct
rlimit *rlptr);
33
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
34. Struct rlimit
{
rlim_t rlim_cur; /*soft limit*/
rlim_t rlim_max; /*hard limit */
}
1. Soft link can be changed by any process
to a value <= to its hard limit
2. Any process can lower its hard limit to a
value greater than or equal to its soft
limit
3. Only super user can raise hard limit
34
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
35. RLIMIT_CORE – max size in bytes of a
core file
RLIMIT_CPU – max amount of CPU time in
seconds
RLIMIT_DATA – max size in bytes of data
segment
RLIMIT_FSIZE – max size in bytes of a file
that can be created
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK – locked in-memory
address space
35
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
36. RLIMIT_NOFILE – max number of open
files per process
RLIMIT_NPROC – max number of child
process per real user ID
RLIMIT_OFILE – same as RLIMIT_NOFILE
RLIMIT_RSS – max resident set size in
bytes
RLIMIT_STACK – max size in bytes of the
stack
RLIMIT_VMEM – max size in bytes of the
mapped address space
36
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
42. Kernel support for processes
File descriptor table
Current directory
root
text
data
stack
Per process u-area
Per process region table
Kernel region table
Process table
42
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
43. A process consists of
A text segment – program text of a
process in machine executable
instruction code format
A data segment – static and global
variables in machine executable format
A stack segment – function arguments,
automatic variables and return addresses
of all active functions of a process at any
time
U-area is an extension of Process table
entry and contains process-specific data
43
Sunil Kumar R.M Assistant Professor
RLJIT
45. Besides open files the other properties
inherited by child are
Real user ID, group ID, effective user ID,
effective group ID
Supplementary group ID
Process group ID
Session ID
Controlling terminal
set-user-ID and set-group-ID
Current working directory
