| T |
Project 4 - Writing your own shell More system calls: fork(), wait(), waitpid(), execvp(), dup2(), and pipe(). demo.c: The code demonstrates
|
|||
| W |
More system calls: fork(), wait(), waitpid(), execvp(), dup2(), and pipe(). waitUseStatus.c demonstrates how to use WIFEXITED, WEXITSTATUS, WIFSIGNALED, and WTERMSIG to determine if child terminated normally or was killed by a signal. You will need to use these macros for project 4. execDemo_l.c demonstrates the use of execl, WIFEXITED, WEXITSTATUS, WIFSIGNALED, and WTERMSIG. execDemo_lp.c demonstrates the use of execlp. This member of the exec family uses the PATH variable to "find" the executable. execDemo_vp.c demonstrates the use of execvp. This member of the exec family uses an array of C strings to hold the command and its arguments and it uses the PATH variable to "find" the executable. This program also demonstrates how a shell would do output redirection. Input redirection would be very similar except you would change where file descriptor 0 pointed. You should use this system call in Project 4. |
