INTRODUCTION
This lab is a key component of your academic journey, aimed at providing hands-on
experience with the foundational concepts of operating systems. The primary objective
of this lab is to equip you with practical skills in areas such as process management,
inter-process communication (IPC), synchronization techniques, memory management,
and file systems. These are essential elements that drive the functionality of modern
operating systems, and your proficiency in these areas will be critical to your success as
a computer science professional.

During the lab sessions, you will work extensively in a Linux environment, learning how
to navigate and control system resources using shell programming, C/C++ compilers,
and system-level commands. The lab begins with the fundamentals of Linux and shell
scripting to ensure a solid foundation. As the course progresses, you will be tasked with
more advanced activities, such as creating and managing threads, system calls, and
implementing IPC using pipes, shared memory, and sockets.

One of the key outcomes of this course is your ability to solve synchronization and
concurrency problems. You will be working with semaphores and shared memory to
address these challenges, culminating in complex exercises like the Readers-Writers
Problem. Additionally, the course will cover file allocation strategies and organization
techniques, which are critical for understanding how data is managed and stored in an
operating system.

This lab is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical
application, preparing you for advanced system-level programming and professional
roles in IT infrastructure management.

Note:

Please ensure that you adhere to all lab rules and deadlines. Missing sessions or
assignments may affect your overall performance in the course. Each session builds upon
the previous one, so consistent attendance and practice are essential.
