2. What is operating system:
An operating system (OS) is software that
manages the resources of a computer
Like most managers, the OS aims to manage
its resources in a safe and efficient way
Examples of computer resources are: CPU,
RAM, disk memory, printers, displays,
keyboard, mouse, etc
The OS also isolates users and application
programmers from the underlying computer

3. Common features of O.S: Process management. Interrupts
Memory management
File system
Device drivers
Networking (TCP/IP)
Security

4. History of UNIX:
In the late 1960’s i.e.nearly 1969-Summer Unix was developed at AT&T’s Bell’s lab where a joint project to develop an ambitious multi-using,multi-tasking O.S. for mainframe computers known as MULTICS(Multiplexed Information and Computing System).MULTICS failed ,but it inspired Ken Thompson a researcher at Bell’s lab to have a write for simpler operating system himself.
Ken Thompson then teamed up with Dennis Ritchie ,the author of first C compiler in 1973.They wrote UNIX kernel in C-which was a big step for system portability…..
Recently,UNIX standards were nearly as numerous as its variants

6. Characteristics of unix:
1.Memoryalloction : It keeps tracks of primary memory i.e which part of it is in use or not and by whom , as well as it allocates memory when a program requests.
2.Processer management :It allocate the C.P.U for a process or deallocates if not required…..
3.DeviceManagement:Keep tracks of all devices It decides for how much time and to whom should be given the priority.
4.FileManagement:It allocates and deallocates the resources.it also decides to whom should the resources be give…
5.Security:By means of password and some other techniques,preventing unauthorized access to program and data.

7. Features of UNIX O.S:
1.Portable: Unix can be installed on many hardware platforms.its widespread use can be traced to develop it using C language…
2.Multi-user: The UNIX users allow multiple users to concurrently share hardware and software.
3.Multi-tasking:Unix allows a user to run more than one program at a time.
In fact more than one program are running at the background while user is working on the foreground.
4.Networking: While UNIX was developed to an interactive, multiuser, multitasking system,networking is incorporated in the heart of the operating system.

8. 5.Organized file system : UNIX has a very organized file and directory system that allows users to organize and maintain files..
6.Device independence:UNIXtreats input,output devices as ordaniryfiles.The destination of file input and outputis easily controlled through UNIX design feature called redirection.
7.Utilities:UNIX provides a rich library of utilities that can increase user’s productivity

9. Difference between unix and windows:
Unix o.s
Windows o.s
1.It is an open source.
2.It has very high security system.
3.It is a command based O.S.
4.The file system is arranged in hierichial manner.
5.unix is not user friendly.
1.It is a close source.
2.It has low security system.
3.It is a not command based O.S.
4.The file system is arranged in a parallel manner
5 . It is user friendly

10. Architecture of Unix O.S :
An system architecture is the conceptual model that define the structure, behaviour and more view of the system. Unix is a layered operating system . It consist of following parts: 1.Hardware 2.Kernel. 3.Shell. 4.User and utilities
Bamuengine.com

11. Two main parts of UNIX OS is:
1.Kernel
2.Shell
Bamuengine.com

12. Kernel:
The kernel is a program that costitute the central core of a computer operating system It has complete control over everything that occurs in the system. The kernel is the core of the computer of the operating system. It is loaded in memory when the system is booted and communicate directly with the hardware.

14. Unix System Kernel Three major tasks of kernel: Process Management
Device Management
File Management
Three additional Services for Kernel:
Virtual Memory
Networking
Network File Systems
Experimental Kernel Features:
Multiprocessor support
Lightweight process (thread) support

16. The Shell:
The shell acts as an interface(command interpreter) between user and kernel.
It is the interpreter that translates the command
that are typed into the terminal.
The series of commands are called shell script.

19. Internal and External commands
1.Internal commands: When we type a command the shell won’t look in its path to locate it.Rather,it will execute it from it’s own set of built-in commands
That are not stored as separate files.These built in commands are known as internal commands
e.g. $ type echo
echo is a shell built in command
2.External commands: A program or file having an independent existence in the /bin directory(or /use/bin),it is branded as an external command.Most of the commands in UNIX are external in nature…
e.g: $ ls (then press enter)

20. verb [options] [arguments]
Command structure :
Unix commands takes the following general form:
verb [options] [arguments]
where verb it is the command name that can be take a set of optional options and one or more optional arguments.
Eg: ll -l note
Bamuengine.com

21. The command use file name as argument .
Options are also arguments, but given a special name because they are predetermined. An options is normally preceded by a minus sign (-).
The command use file name as argument .
The commands with its option and argument
is known as command line.
Exceptions: Some commands in UNIX like pwd do
not take any options and arguments .
who may or may not be specified with argument
ls can be have combinations of both i.e. without argument (ls), with only options (ls –l),
with only file name(ls f1), or using combinations
Of both (ls –l f1).
Bamuengine.com

22. Flexibility of command usage:
UNIX provides flexiblility in using the commands.
Combining commands: UNIX allows you to specify more than one command in the single command line . Each command is separted from other by a semicolon (;).
Eg: wc sample.txt; ls –l sample.txt
Here “ ; “ is known as metacharacter.
Bamuengine.com

23. Entering a command before previous commands has finished:
Subsequently commands entered at the keyboard
are stored in a buffer ( a temporary storage in memory) that is maintained by the kernel for all keyboard input.
The next command will be passed on to the shell for interpretation after the previous command has completed its execution.

24. Concept of mountpoint:
Files in unix system are organized into a single
Tree structure . It is however possible to have several partitions using a mechanism called mounting which makes it possible to connect a partition to connect a partition to directory
in the main tree structure . So the fact of mounting a partition in the directory /mnt/partition makes all the files in the partition accessible from this directory, called
the “mount point”.

25. File system:
“On a UNIX system, everything is a file, if something is not a file, it is a process.” Some exceptions: Directories : files that are lists of other files. Special files and Device files: All device and peripherals are represented by files. To read or write a device you have to perform these operation on its assosiated file. Most special are in /dev. Links : a system to make a file or directory visible in multiple parts of the system’s file tree.

26. (Domain) socket: a special file type , similar toTCP/IP sockets , providing inter-process networking protected by the file systems’s access control. Named piped: act more or less like sockets and form a way for processes to communicate with each other ,without using network sockets semantics.
Bamuengine.com

27. Ordinary file: This is the most common file type. An ordinary
File can be either a text file or a binary file.
Text file: it contain only printable character and you can view and edit them. Every line of the text file is terminated with the newline character.
Binary file: It contain both printable and nonprintable character that cover the entire ASCII range. Sound and video files are also binary file
Bamuengine.com

28. Directory file:
A directory contain no data ,but keeps details of the files and subdirectories that it contains. A directory file contain one entry for every file and subdirectory that it houses. Each entry has two component namely , the filename and a unique identification number of the file or directory(called the inode number).
Bamuengine.com

29. Device files:
All the operations on the devices are performed by reading or writing the file representing the devices. Device filename are found in a single directory structure , /dev. A device file is not really a stream of character. It is the attributes of the file that entirely govern the operation of the device. The kernel identifies a device from its attributes and uses them to operate the device.

31. /bin : Essential low-level system utilities
/ The "root" directory
/bin : Essential low-level system utilities
/usr/bin : Higher-level system utilities and application programs
/sbin : Superuser system utilities (for performing system administration tasks)
/lib : Program libraries (collections of system calls that can be included in programs by
a compiler)for low-level system utilities
/usr/lib : Program libraries for higher-level user programs
/tmp : Temporary file storage space (can be used by any user)
/home : User home directories containing personal file space for each user. Each directory
is named after the login of the user.
/etc : UNIX system configuration and information files
/dev : Hardware devices
/proc : A pseudo-filesystem which is used as an interface to the kernel Includes a subdirectory for each active program
(or process).

32. File handling and directory handling commands:
Unix have the same utilities for dealing with files and directories - only some of the names have been changed:
· ls is the UNIX version of dir (list files in directory)
Syntax: ls -l shows long (detailed) listing.
Syntax: ls -last shows long listing - newest first.
· cp: copy file
Syntax: cp file1 file2
Bamuengine.com

33. Bamuengine.com

34. rm :Replaces the DOS delete command. Syntax: rm filename
· mv it will rename filename
Syntax: mv file1 file2
· mkdir creates a new directory.
Syntax: mkdir dirname
· rmdir : deletes a directory.
Syntax: rmdir dirname
** all files and subdirectories must be removed first!

35. Inode :
Mode
Owner info
Size
Timestamp
Direct block
Indirect block
Double indirect
Triple indirect
Inode: a structure that store all file attributes except the file name .
Maintained in a special area of the disk and copy is loaded into memory when a file is open.
Inode number: a number identifying an anode for a file
Which is unique in a single system.
Displayed with ls -i
