Osy Notes

The document discusses the key services provided by operating systems, including: 1) Providing a user interface like command line or graphical interfaces. 2) Managing program execution including loading, running, and terminating programs. 3) Facilitating input/output operations between the user and hardware devices. 4) Providing file manipulation services like creating, deleting, and backing up files.

Environment for the


execution of the program
Different Services of Operating System:
A View of Operating System Services:
1. User Interface
CLI: Command
Line Interface

Batch Interface

GUI: Graphical
User Interface

CLI: which uses text commands and a method for entering them
Batch Interface: commands are entered into files, and those files are
executed.
graphical user interface (GUI) is used. Here, the interface is a window system with a
pointing device to direct I/O, choose from menus, and make selections and a keyboard to
enter text.
2. Program Execution:
 OS provide facility to user to create program then it loads in memory and
finally get executed.
 After successful execution, program get terminated successfully (Normal
Execution)
 After unsuccessful execution , program terminated abnormally by indicating
errors (Abnormal Execution)

Following are the major activities of an operating system with respect to program
management −
 Loads a program into memory.
 Executes the program.
 Handles program's execution.
 Provides a mechanism for process synchronization.
 Provides a mechanism for process communication.
 Provides a mechanism for deadlock handling.
3. I/O operation:

 It provide facility to perform input/output operation with hardware or


different process.

 OS manages the communication between user and device drivers


 e. g read or write data on I/O device.
3. File Manipulation:
 Program needs to read a file or write a file.

 The operating system gives the permission to the program for operation on
file.

 Permission varies from read-only, read-write, denied and so on.

 Operating System provides an interface to the user to create/delete


files/directories.

 Operating System provides an interface to create the backup of file system


4. Error Detection:
 OS needs to detect and correct the errors constantly

 Errors may occur in


 CPU
 Memory
 I/O devices &
 In user programs.

 For each type of error, OS must take corrective step to recover from that.
5. Communication:
 One process needs to exchange information with another process

 Exchange of information can be placed on the same computer or on


different systems tried together by a network.

 Communication Implemented via


• Shared memory : in which two or more processes read and write to a shared
section of memory
• Message passing: which packets of information in predefined formats are moved
between processes by the operating system.
6. Protection:
 Protection refers to mechanism or a way to control the access of programs,
processes, or users to the resources defined by a computer systems.

 OS ensures that external I/O devices are protected from invalid access
attempts.

 OS provides authentication feature for each user by means of a password.


7. Resource Allocation:
 Allocating resources to multiple users or multiple jobs running at the same
time.

 Resource may be hardware – CPU, Memory, I/O Device or software-


Programs.

 It must handle situation in such manner that all user get resources
whenever they demand
8. Accounting:
 Keep track of which users use how much and what kinds of
computer resources
 This record keeping used for accounting
 It can be use to detect error or to add some resources or for
protection purpose.
Summary
So today we learn-
 Different services of operating system.
