Operating System Code Examples

Note: While I can provide examples of code snippets from various operating systems, it's
important to understand that operating systems are complex pieces of software with millions
of lines of code. These examples are intended to illustrate key concepts and functionalities.

Process Management

Example: Creating a new process (Unix-like systems)

C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
pid_t pid = fork();

if (pid < 0) {
perror("fork failed");
return 1;
} else if (pid == 0) {
// Child process
printf("Child process: PID = %d\n", getpid());
} else {
// Parent process
printf("Parent process: PID = %d, Child PID = %d\n", getpid(),
pid);
}

return 0;
}
Use code with caution.

Memory Management

Example: Memory allocation and deallocation (C)

C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
int *ptr = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int));
if (ptr == NULL) {
printf("Memory allocation failed\n");
return 1;
}

*ptr

= 10;
printf("Value: %d\n", *ptr);

free(ptr);
return

0;
}
Use code with caution.

File System

Example: Creating a file and writing to it (C)

C
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
FILE *fp;
char str[] = "Hello, world!";

fp = fopen("example.txt", "w");
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1;
}

fprintf(fp, "%s\n", str);


fclose(fp);

return 0;
}
Use code with caution.

Device Drivers

Example: A simplified device driver for a keyboard (pseudocode)

void keyboard_interrupt_handler() {
char key = read_keyboard();
// Process the key input (e.g., update keyboard buffer, send to
application)
}

Synchronization

Example: Using a mutex to protect a shared variable (C++)

C++
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <mutex>
using namespace std;

int shared_variable = 0;
mutex mtx;

void increment() {
mtx.lock();
shared_variable++;
mtx.unlock();
}

int main() {
thread t1(increment);
thread t2(increment);

t1.join();
t2.join();

cout << "Shared variable: " << shared_variable << endl;

return 0;
}
Use code with caution.

Note: These are just simplified examples. Real-world operating system code is much more
complex, involving numerous system calls, data structures, and algorithms.

Would you like to explore any specific area of operating systems in more detail?
