UNIX Lab


The Unix and Compiler design Laboratory is designed for the undergraduate students to have the experiment related to the Unix system programming courses. The Experiment analysis using Linux platform in C programming. The Course is primarily about system programming. In particular, it covers the Following parts of the kernel API, general I/O structure, device and terminal control, the system interface, pro cess and thread management, signals and inter-pro cess communication methods. It also covers-a bit about event driven programming and the curses library. This course devotes a small amount of time to shells and UNIX tools, and significant emphasis on system programming, in spite of the title of the course .Over the years, many of the students who have taken this course and graduated Have contacted me afterwards to tell me that it was this course that landed Them their rest jobs.

Facilities available
Sufficient numbers of systems with required C programming and Linux operating systems
Projectors for lab experimental demos
