Chapter 2, Problem 47RQ

Explanation of Solution

Comparison on volatile and non-volatile memory elements:

Volatile memory elementsNonvolatile memory elements
Volatile memory loses all its stored information when there is no power supply connected to it.Nonvolatile memory can retain its stored information even when the power is accidentally or intentionally removed.
Here, the memory can be easily altered.Here, the memory cannot be altered.
They have effects on the system performance...

Whentheuserenters!!,themostrecentcommandinthehistoryisexecuted.In the example above, if the user entered the command: Osh> !! The ‘ls -l’ command should be executed and echoed on user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command. Whentheuserentersasingle!followedbyanintegerN,theNthcommandin the history is executed. In the example above, if the user entered the command: Osh> ! 3 The ‘ps’ command should be executed and echoed on the user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command. Error handling: The program should also manage basic error handling. For example, if there are no commands in the history, entering !! should result in a message “No commands in history.” Also, if there is no command corresponding to the number entered with the single !, the program should output "No such command in history."

2. UNIX Shell and History Feature [20 points] This question consists of designing a C program to serve as a shell interface that accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process. A shell interface gives the user a prompt, after which the next command is entered. The example below illustrates the prompt osh> and the user's next command: cat prog.c. The UNIX/Linux cat command displays the contents of the file prog.c on the terminal using the UNIX/Linux cat command and your program needs to do the same. osh> cat prog.c The above can be achieved by running your shell interface as a parent process. Every time a command is entered, you create a child process by using fork(), which then executes the user's command using one of the system calls in the exec() family (as described in Chapter 3). A C program that provides the general operations of a command-line shell can be seen below. #include #include #define MAX LINE 80 /* The maximum length command */ { int…
