CSE 190 Sp 2000 -- Lecture 2 -- April 6, 2000

Unix history. 7th Edition; System III; System V; BSD; SunOS/Solaris; Linux. Filesystem. Persistent objects: files, directories, devices, FIFOs, etc; directories map names to inode numbers.

Explained the reason why the following program worked the way it does with interactive execution versus output to a file:

int main(void)
{
	printf("Hello world\n");
	if (fork() == 0) {
		printf("Goodbye cruel world\n");
	}
	return 0;
}
