Pipe System Call in Linux

Write a C program to run on Linux to do the following.

 1. Parent process creates a pipe using the pipe() system call.

 2. Parent process creates a child process.

 3. Parent process sends a message "Hello from Parent" to the child.

 4. Child process prints the message to the screen.

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(){
    int pid,pipe_ends[2];
    char received_string[20];

    pipe(pipe_ends);
    pid=fork();
   
    if(pid>0){
    close(pipe_ends[0]);
    write(pipe_ends[1], "Hello From Parent", 18);
    close(pipe_ends[1]);
    exit(0);
    }
    else{
    close(pipe_ends[1]);
    read(pipe_ends[0], received_string, 18);
    printf("Message - %s\n", received_string);
    close(pipe_ends[0]);
    exit(0);
    }
}

Programming Using GNU Octave

Image
  Questions: 1 A small object is projected from a toy gun to travel some distance and land on the ground. 1. Write a function to model the dynamics of the object in Octave called f_trajectory. f_trajectory will accept following arguments in the same order (measured in the given units). Also specify the default values for each parameter as given in brackets. i. h(5) : Initial height of the projectile (m) ii. g(9.81) : acceleration from gravity (m/s/s) iii. v(25) : speed at initial release (m/s) iv. theta(π/4) : angle of release (radians) v. t : a vector representing the points in time For default values of t check if the variable ‘exist’ with name ‘t’ and type ‘var’ if not initialize it as a row vector starting from 0 and goes to 5 with increments of 0.1. If x is distance and y is height, the equations below describe their dependence on time and all the other parameters. 𝑥(𝑡)=𝑣𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜃)𝑡 ----------------(eq1) 𝑦(𝑡)=ℎ+𝑣𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜃)𝑡− 12𝑔𝑡2 ---------------(eq2) Convert the abo...

Stack Implementation

Implement a malloc

Image
Implement a malloc-like memory allocation library 1. Declare an array of 25000 bytes. 2. You must implement a function that is like malloc(). Call it MyMalloc(). Its signature is similar to malloc(). You should also implement MyFree() which has a signature and functionality that are similar to free(). 3. MyMalloc() allocates memory only from the previously mentioned array of 25000 bytes. 4. All the data structures that are required to manage the memory must also reside within the same array. 5. MyMalloc() and MyFree() must be in a file called mymalloc.c. You should also provide a suitable header file mymalloc.h. 6. Our test program contains the main() and it includes mymalloc.h. Do not include a main() in your mymalloc.c. Sample Code in C: #include <stdio.h> #include <stddef.h> #include "mymalloc.h" struct node *freearray=(void*)array; // to point the first place in array[25000] void *mymalloc(size_t bytes){ // get the value of bytes that...
