Program Plan Intro

I/O Multiplexing:

  • The idea of I/O multiplexing is to use “select” function to ask kernel to suspend process.
  • It returns control to application only after one or more I/O events had occurred.
  • It denotes waiting for a set of descriptors that is ready for reading.
  • The “select” function would manipulate sets of type “fd_set”, that denotes descriptor sets.
  • It takes two inputs: a descriptor set called “read set” and cardinality of read set.
  • It blocks until at least one descriptor in read set is ready for reading.
  • A descriptor “k” is ready for reading if and only if a request to read 1 byte from that descriptor would not block.
  • The “fd_set” is been modified that points to argument “fdset” to indicate subset of read set called “ready set”.
  • The value returned by function indicates cardinality of ready set.

Create a static function in C# where poachers appear and attempt to hunt animals. It gets the location of the closest animal to itself. Take account of that the animal also move too, so it should update the closest location (x, y) everytime it moves to a new location. Use winforms to show the movements of poachers.
