Sure, here's an code of how to implement the ls command using kernel APIs in C:

EditFull ScreenCopy code

1#include <dirent.h>
2#include <sys/stat.h>
3#include <stdio.h>

5int main(int argc, char **argv) {
6 DIR *d;
7 struct dirent *dir;
8 struct stat file_stat;
9
10 d = opendir(".");

20}

This program uses the opendir, readdir, and closedir functions to open and iterate
through the current directory, and the stat function to get the file size.

To compile and run the program, save it to a file (e.g. myls.c), then run:

Algorithm:

1. Use the fork system call to create a child process.

2. Use the getpid and getppid system calls to obtain the process ID of both child
1. Terminate the parent process after the child process has finished.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

int main() {

pid_t child_pid = fork();

if (child_pid < 0) {

fprintf(stderr, "Fork failed\n");

printf("Child process: My PID is %d and my parent's PID is %d\n", getpid(), getppid());

 } else {

// Code executed by parent process

printf("Parent process: My PID is %d and my child's PID is %d\n", getpid(), child_pid);

return 0;

Output:

The output will display the process ID of both child and parent processes, and the parent
process will wait for the child process to finish before terminating.

Parent process: My PID is 1234 and my child's PID is 5678

Child process: My PID is 5678 and my parent's PID is 1234

10. File Management & I/O Management
10.1. File Allocation Strategies
Aim: To write a program to simulate file allocation strategies typically sequential,
indexed, and linked files.

Description: In this exercise, you will write a program to simulate file allocation
strategies, such as sequential, indexed, and linked files, to manage file storage and
retrieval.

Algorithm:

1. Create a list of files and their storage requirements.

2. Implement the sequential, indexed, and linked file allocation strategies to store
and retrieve the files.
3. Calculate the storage usage and access time for each strategy.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#define NUM_BLOCKS 10

// File allocation strategies enumeration

typedef enum {

CONTIGUOUS,

LINKED,

INDEXED
} AllocationStrategy;

// Structure for a block in linked allocation

typedef struct Block {

int data;

struct Block* next;

} Block;

// Function prototypes

void contiguous_allocation(int file_size);

void linked_allocation(int file_size);

void indexed_allocation(int file_size);

int main() {

int file_size;

printf("Enter file size: ");

scanf("%d", &file_size);

printf("\nContiguous Allocation:\n");

contiguous_allocation(file_size);
 printf("\nLinked Allocation:\n");

linked_allocation(file_size);

printf("\nIndexed Allocation:\n");

indexed_allocation(file_size);

return 0;

// Contiguous allocation strategy

void contiguous_allocation(int file_size) {

if (file_size > NUM_BLOCKS) {

printf("File size exceeds available disk space.\n");

return;

printf("Allocated blocks: ");

for (int i = 0; i < file_size; i++) {

printf("%d ", i);

printf("\n");

}
// Linked allocation strategy

void linked_allocation(int file_size) {

if (file_size > NUM_BLOCKS) {

printf("File size exceeds available disk space.\n");

return;

Block* head = NULL;

Block* current = NULL;

printf("Allocated blocks: ");

for (int i = 0; i < file_size; i++) {

Block* new_block = (Block*)malloc(sizeof(Block));

new_block->data = i;

new_block->next = NULL;

if (head == NULL) {

head = new_block;

current = new_block;

} else {

current->next = new_block;
 current = new_block;

printf("%d ", i);

printf("\n");

// Free allocated memory

current = head;

while (current != NULL) {

Block* temp = current;

current = current->next;

free(temp);

// Indexed allocation strategy

void indexed_allocation(int file_size) {

if (file_size > NUM_BLOCKS) {

printf("File size exceeds available disk space.\n");

return;

}
 int index_table[file_size];

printf("Index table: ");

for (int i = 0; i < file_size; i++) {

index_table[i] = i;

printf("%d ", index_table[i]);

printf("\n");

Output:

The output will display the file storage and retrieval for each file, as well as the
storage usage and access time for each strategy.

Enter file size: 5

Contiguous Allocation:

Allocated blocks: 0 1 2 3 4

Linked Allocation:

Allocated blocks: 0 1 2 3 4

Indexed Allocation:
Index table: 0 1 2 3 4

10.2. Multi-level Directory Structure

Aim: To write a program to simulate file organization of multi-level directory
structure.

Description: In this exercise, you will write a program to simulate file organization
of multi-level directory structure to manage file

Algorithm:

1. Create a list of disk requests and their

2. access times.
3. Implement the FCFS, SCAN, and C-SCAN disk scheduling algorithms to access and
retrieve the disk requests.
4. Calculate the access time and seek time for each algorithm.
CODE-
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAX_DEPTH 10
#define MAX_NAME_LENGTH 20

// Directory structure
typedef struct Directory {
char name[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
struct Directory* subdirectories[MAX_DEPTH];
int num_subdirectories;
} Directory;

// Function prototypes
Directory* create_directory(const char* name);
Directory* find_subdirectory(Directory* parent, const char* name);
void add_subdirectory(Directory* parent, Directory* subdirectory);
void navigate(Directory* current_directory);
void display_path(Directory* current_directory);

Directory* dir3 = create_directory("dir3");

add_subdirectory(root, dir1);
add_subdirectory(root, dir2);
add_subdirectory(dir2, dir3);

navigate(current_directory);

// Free allocated memory

free(root);

return 0;
}

// Function to create a new directory

Directory* create_directory(const char* name) {
Directory* new_directory = (Directory*)malloc(sizeof(Directory));
strcpy(new_directory->name, name);
new_directory->num_subdirectories = 0;
return new_directory;
}

// Function to find a subdirectory by name

Directory* find_subdirectory(Directory* parent, const char* name) {
for (int i = 0; i < parent->num_subdirectories; i++) {
if (strcmp(parent->subdirectories[i]->name, name) == 0) {
 return parent->subdirectories[i];
}
}
return NULL;
}

// Function to add a subdirectory to a parent directory

void add_subdirectory(Directory* parent, Directory* subdirectory) {
parent->subdirectories[parent->num_subdirectories++] = subdirectory;
}

// Function to navigate through directories

void navigate(Directory* current_directory) {
char input[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];

while (1) {
printf("\nCurrent Directory: ");
display_path(current_directory);
printf("\nCommands: cd <directory_name> | exit\n");
printf("Enter command: ");
scanf("%s", input);

if (strcmp(input, "exit") == 0) {
break;
} else if (strcmp(input, "cd") == 0) {
scanf("%s", input);
Directory* new_directory = find_subdirectory(current_directory, input);
if (new_directory != NULL) {
current_directory = new_directory;
 } else {
printf("Directory not found.\n");
}
} else {
printf("Invalid command.\n");
}
}
}

// Function to display the path of the current directory

void display_path(Directory* current_directory) {
Directory* temp = current_directory;
char path[MAX_DEPTH * MAX_NAME_LENGTH] = "";
while (temp != NULL) {
char temp_path[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
strcpy(temp_path, temp->name);
strcat(temp_path, "/");
strcat(temp_path, path);
strcpy(path, temp_path);
temp = temp->subdirectories[0];
}
printf("%s", path);
}

Output:

The output will display the disk access and retrieval for each disk request, as well as the
access time and seek time for each algorithm.
