Description
You answers will be in the form of a PDF/C Code.
In class we discussed the basics of fork and exec. Using your makeArgs.c and makeArgs.h
-
Copy makeArgs.c into the folder tokenize
-
I have provided a C file named cscd340Lab6.c. You must write the forkIt function in process.c This function will:
-
-
fork() and store the result
-
-
-
check the result of fork() if in the parent – issue a waitpid command waiting for the pid
-
-
-
if the result of the fork() indicates the child – issue the appropriate execvp command
-
-
-
Check the results of the exec command – if the execvp command was invalid issue an exit to kill the child
-
Run your code with multiple commands both valid and invalid and capture the valgrind output. Store the valgrind output in a PDF.
NOTE: The grader will be running simple commands (both valid and invalid) such as ls -l, pwd, pwe, ls – al, make, etc.
TO TURN IN
-
zip
Your PDF of your valgrind run Your C files
You will submit a zip file named your last name first letter of your first name lab6.zip (Example steinerslab6.zip)
