Experiment 5 (OSII)

The document outlines an experiment focused on file management using low-level file access system calls, detailing the definitions and syntax of key system calls such as Open, Read, Write, and Close. It includes example C programs demonstrating each system call's functionality. The aim is to enhance understanding of file management through practical implementation.

Experiment 5

Title : Study & Implement File Management using Low Level file Access System calls.
Aim: To Learn about File Management using low level file access system calls.

Theory: write theory about low level file access system calls.

 Def of System Call


 System Calls are divided in 5 categories:
1. Process control
2. File management
3. Device management
4. Information maintenance
5. Communication
 File management system calls:

Conclusion

1) Open():
// C program to illustrate

// open system call

#include <errno.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

extern int errno;

int main()

// if file does not have in directory

// then file foo.txt is created.

int fd = open("foo.txt", O_RDONLY | O_CREAT);

printf("fd = %d\n", fd);

if (fd == -1) {

// print which type of error have in a code

printf("Error Number % d\n", errno);

// print program detail "Success or failure"

perror("Program");

return 0;
}

2) Close():

// C program to illustrate close system Call

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main()

int fd1 = open("foo.txt", O_RDONLY);

if (fd1 < 0) {

perror("c1");

exit(1);

printf("opened the fd = % d\n", fd1);

// Using close system Call

if (close(fd1) < 0) {

perror("c1");

exit(1);

printf("closed the fd.\n");

3) Read():
// C program to illustrate

// read system Call

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main()

int fd, sz;

char* c = (char*)calloc(100, sizeof(char));

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

if (fd < 0) {

perror("r1");

exit(1);

sz = read(fd, c, 10);

printf("called read(% d, c, 10). returned that"

" %d bytes were read.\n",

fd, sz);

c[sz] = '\0';

printf("Those bytes are as follows: % s\n", c);

return 0;
}

4) Write():

// C program to illustrate

// write system Call

#include<stdio.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

main()

int sz;

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

if (fd < 0)

perror("r1");

exit(1);

sz = write(fd, "hello geeks\n", strlen("hello geeks\n"));

printf("called write(% d, \"hello geeks\\n\", %d)."

" It returned %d\n", fd, strlen("hello geeks\n"), sz);

close(fd);
