Question –1 Simulate CP linux command using C.
Code-:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *fp = fopen(argv[1], "r");
FILE *fp1 = fopen(argv[2], "w");
char c;
while ((c = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
{
fputc(c, fp1);
}
fclose(fp);
fclose(fp1);
}
Output-:

Question-2 Simulate MV linux command using C


Code-:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *fp = fopen(argv[1], "r");
FILE *fp1 = fopen(argv[2], "w");
char c;
while ((c = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
{
fputc(c, fp1);
}
fclose(fp);
fclose(fp1);
remove(argv[1]);
}
Output-: a.txt got deleted and its content is copied to b.txt

Question-3 Perform arithmetic operations using command line arguments.


Code-:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int a, b, result;
char opr;
a = atoi(argv[1]);
b = atoi(argv[2]);
opr = argv[3][0];
switch (opr)
{
case '+':
result = a + b;
break;
case '-':
result = a - b;
break;
case '*':
result = a * b;
break;
case '/':
result = a / b;
}
printf("Result: %d %c %d = %d\n", a, opr, b, result);
return 0;
}
Output-:
Question-4 Check whether the given string is palindrome or not and ensure to
take the input while executing the program.
Code-:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int n = strlen(argv[1]);
int j = n - 1;
int i = 0;

while (i <= j)
{
if (argv[1][i] == argv[1][j])
{
j--;
i++;
}
else
{
printf("Not a valid Palindrom");
break;
}
}
}
Output-:

Question - 5 Create 3 child processes from the same parent process and show
the child processes are created from the same parent process.
Code-:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
pid_t child1, child2, child3;
child1 = fork();
if (child1 == 0)
{
printf("Child 1: PID = %d, PPID = %d\n", getpid(), getppid());
return 0;
}
child2 = fork();
if (child2 == 0)
{
printf("Child 2: PID = %d, PPID = %d\n", getpid(), getppid());
return 0;
}
child3 = fork();
if (child3 == 0)
{
printf("Child 3: PID = %d, PPID = %d\n", getpid(), getppid());
return 0;
}
printf("Parent: PID = %d, PPID = %d\n", getpid(), getppid());
return 0;
}
Output-:

Question – 6 Discuss the use of Command line arguments in C


Answer -: Command line arguments are strings of text passed to a program when it
is run from the command line. In C, we can access the command line arguments
passed to a program using the argc and argv arguments of the main () function.
The argc argument is an integer that indicates the number of command line
arguments passed to the program and it is always at least 1, because the program's
name is considered the first command line argument.
The argv argument is an array of pointers to strings that contain the actual
command line arguments. The first element of the array (argv[0]) is the name of the
program, and the subsequent elements are the command line arguments passed to
the program.
