Experiment 6(OSII)Write-up and Program

The document outlines an experiment focused on implementing various file operations in C, including Create, Open, Read, Write, Append, Fstat, and Dup. It provides a code example demonstrating these operations, such as creating a file, writing to it, reading from it, appending data, checking file status, and duplicating file descriptors. The aim is to familiarize users with file handling in programming.

Experiment 6

Title: Implementation of various operations on Files (Create, Open, Read, Write, Append, Fstat,
Dup etc.)

Aim: To Learn about various operations on Files (Create, Open, Read, Write, Append, Fstat, Dup
etc.)

Theory: write theory about various operations on Files (Create, Open, Read, Write, Append,
Fstat, Dup etc.)

(here write the use of each operation then syntax with short explanation)

Problem Statement: Implement various operations on Files (Create, Open, Read, Write,
Append, Fstat, Dup etc.)

Conclusion
#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

int main() {

// Create a new file

int fd = open("myfile.txt", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, 0644);

if (fd == -1) {

perror("open");

exit(1);

// Write some data to the file

char *data = "This is some data to be written to the file.";

int bytes_written = write(fd, data, strlen(data));

if (bytes_written == -1) {

perror("write");

exit(1);

// Close the file

close(fd);

// Open the file for reading


fd = open("myfile.txt", O_RDONLY);

if (fd == -1) {

perror("open");

exit(1);

// Read some data from the file

char buffer[1024];

int bytes_read = read(fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer));

if (bytes_read == -1) {

perror("read");

exit(1);

// Print the data that was read

printf("%s\n", buffer);

// Close the file

close(fd);

// Append some data to the file

fd = open("myfile.txt", O_APPEND | O_WRONLY);

if (fd == -1) {

perror("open");

exit(1);
}

// Write some data to the file

data = "This is some data to be appended to the file.";

bytes_written = write(fd, data, strlen(data));

if (bytes_written == -1) {

perror("write");

exit(1);

// Close the file

close(fd);

// Get the file status

struct stat st;

if (stat("myfile.txt", &st) == -1) {

perror("stat");

exit(1);

// Print the file size

printf("File size: %ld bytes\n", st.st_size);

// Duplicate the file descriptor

int fd2 = dup(fd);


if (fd2 == -1) {

perror("dup");

exit(1);

// Close the original file descriptor

close(fd);

// Write some data to the duplicated file descriptor

bytes_written = write(fd2, data, strlen(data));

if (bytes_written == -1) {

exit(1);

// Close the duplicated file descriptor
