When your program starts, it shall do the following: Create a file, named QUOTE.txt, in the current directory (cwd). Have your running process write it’s pid (Process ID) followed by a Carriage Return and Newline into the file. Close the file QUOTE.txt Create a semaphore named FLAG which the threads will use to manage access to the file QUOTE.txt. Create 7 threads. Use the POSIX version of threads (i.e., pthread_create()) Block/wait for all seven threads to complete their work. Once all threads are done, destroy the semaphore, then exit gracefully, printing a friendly message to the console
