System calls & Libraries
- System call library
- OS service in the form of C function call
- Standard library, User library
- Linked with the programs at compile time and are part of the user program

File Subsystem (2)
- Managing files and structures of file system
- Allocating file space
- Administering free space
- Controlling access to files
- Retrieving data for users
- Interact with set of system calls
- open, close, read, write, state, chown, chmod …

Process Control Subsystem (2)
- Managing process structures (proc table, u table,…)
- Process scheduling
- Interprocess communication (IPC)
- Memory management
- Responsible for process synchronization.
- Communicate with file subsystem
- Loading a file into memory for execution
- Interact with set of system calls
- fork, exec, exit, wait, brk, signal …
Process Control Subsystem (3)
- Memory management module
- Control the allocation of memory to a process
- Scheduler module
- Allocate the CPU to processes
- Interprocess communication
- There are several forms.

Hardware Control (2)
- Responsible for handling interrupts and for communicating with the machine.
- Devices such as disks or terminals may interrupt the CPU while a process is executing
Topics to be covered
- File subsystem
- Process control subsystem
- (Memory Management)
- Signal
- IPC (Inter-Process Communication), Synchronization
- UNIX System Programming (System Calls)
Reference Books
- The design of the UNIX Operating System, M. J. Bach
- UNIX Internals : The New Frontiers, U. Vahalia
- Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment, 2nd Edition, W. R. Stevens, S. A. Rago
