PRACTICAL 2
Aim: To implement all the process creation and termination in Linux.
1. PROCESS CREATION:

2. WAITING FOR PROCESS TERMINATION:

3. SIGNAL HANDLING:
4. PROCESS TERMINATION:

5. INTER PROCESS COMMUNICATION VIA PIPES :


PRACTICAL 3
Aim: To implement thread programming
In a process, a thread refers to a single sequential activity being executed. These activities
are also known as thread of execution or thread control. Now, any operating system
process can execute a thread. We can say, that a process can have multiple threads.
Multithreading is a technique used in operating systems to improve the performance and
responsiveness of computer systems. Multithreading allows multiple threads to share the
same resources of a single process.
