Unix aimed for simplicity and minimalism → Modularity : Multics was built for mainframe computing architecture How do we make it lean? Why do we want a leaner version of the OS ? Welcome to OS! Operating System (OS): An operating system is like the boss of your computer. It manages all the tasks, like running programs, handling files, and talking to hardware (like your screen and keyboard). It makes sure everything runs smoothly. Kernel: Think of the kernel as the core of the operating system. It's like the brain of the boss. It talks directly to the hardware, controls how programs use the computer's resources, and keeps everything organized and safe. The interface to the kernel is a layer of software called the system calls. Libraries of common functions are built on top of the system call interface, but applications are free to use both. The shell is a special application that provides an interface for running other applications. 4 Polling question Operating system a: is a collection of programs b: provides user interface c: is a resource manager d: all of the above e: none of the above 5 Polling question The kernel layer manages all the hardware dependent functions 1) True 2) False 6 UNIX Kernel • A large C program that implements a general interface to a computer to be used for writing programs: fd = open(“/dev/tty”, O_WRONLY); write(fd, “Hello world!”, 12); Applications Programs UNIX system services UNIX kernel in C computer 7 c lib C and libc C Application Programs libc - C Interface to UNIX system services UNIX system services UNIX kernel in C computer Diff ? "C" refers to the C programming language used to write the Unix operating system itself, while "libc" is the C Standard Library that provides a standardized set of functions and routines used by C programs, 33 9 What is a shell? ● A shell is a computer program that presents a command line interface ● Allows you to control your computer using commands entered with a keyboard ○ instead of controlling graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with a mouse/keyboard combination. ● On a Mac or Linux machine, you can access a shell through a program called Terminal ● The shell allows you to manipulate thousands of files (search, edit, track), store your history (reproducibility) 10 Shell • The shell (sh) is a program (written in C) that interprets commands typed to it, and carries out the desired actions. • The shell is that part of Unix that most users see. Therefore there is a mistaken belief that sh is Unix. • sh is an application program running under Unix • Other shells exists (ksh, csh, tcsh, bash) Shell UNIX system services UNIX kernel in C computer 37 What is a “Shell”? ▪ The “Shell” is simply another program on top of the kernel which provides a basic human-OS interface. • It is a command interpreter ⬥ Built on top of the kernel ⬥ Enables users to run services provided by the UNIX OS • A script or Shell program is a series of commands in a file ⬥Saves having to retype commands to perform common tasks ▪ How to know what shell you use echo $SHELL 38 UNIX Shells ▪ sh Bourne Shell (Original Shell) (Steven Bourne of AT&T) ▪ bash Bourne Again Shell (GNU Improved Bourne Shell) ▪ csh C-Shell (C-like Syntax)(Bill Joy of Univ. of California) ▪ ksh Korn-Shell (Bourne+some C-shell)(David Korn of AT&T) ▪ tcsh Turbo C-Shell (More User Friendly C-Shell). 39 Which Shell should you Use? ▪ All Linux versions use the Bash shell (Bourne Again Shell) as the default shell • Bash/Bourn/ksh/sh prompt: $ • All UNIX system include C shell and its predecessor Bourne shell. • Csh/tcsh prompt: % •sh (Bourne shell) was considered better for programming •csh (C-Shell) was considered better for interactive work. •tcsh and korn were improvements on c-shell and bourne shell respectively. •bash is largely compatible with sh and also has many of the nice features of the other shells 40 Which one do you have currently? The shell is a fundamental component of the operating system and is responsible for executing user commands, managing processes, handling input/output redirection, and providing features like scripting and automation. ▪ To check shell: • $ echo $SHELL (shell is a pre-defined variable) ▪ To switch shell: • $ exec shellname (e.g., $ exec bash or simply type $ bash) Tools and Applications vi cat more date gcc gdb … SH UNIX system services UNIX kernel in C computer 41 Questions? 17 Section #2 UNIX File Abstraction and File System Organization 18 What is a File? • A file is the most basic entity in a UNIX system. • Several different kinds of files: – Regular File – Directory – Character Special – Block Special – Socket – Symbolic Link – Hard Link • They are accessed through a common interface (i.e. you need only learn how to use one set of systems calls to be able to access any sort of file.) 44 Regular Files • Regular files are used to store: – English Text – Numerical Results – Program Text – Compiled Machine Code – Executable Programs – Databases – Bit-mapped Images – etc... 45 Regular Files • A regular file is a named, variable length, sequence of bytes. • UNIX itself assumes no special structure to a regular file beyond this. • Most UNIX utility programs, however, do assume the files have a certain structure. • E.g. a regular text file: $ cat file hello world! $ ls -l file -rw-r--r-1 bill 13 May 8 16:44 file 46 Directories & Filenames homes bill file tmp cs131 accounts • Directories are special kinds of files that contain references to other files and directories. • Directory files can be read like a regular file, but UNIX does not let you write to them. • There are two ways of specifying a filename – absolute: /homes/bill/file cs131/accounts – relative: • With an absolute pathname the search for the file starts at the root directory. 47 Relative Pathnames • With a relative pathname the search for the file starts at the current working directory. • Every process under UNIX has a CWD (current working directory). This can be changed by means of a system call. • e.g. $ pwd /homes/bill $ cd cs131 $ pwd /homes/bill/cs131 $ cd / $ pwd / 48 Commands that will “grow” on you man ls cd pwd mkdir rmdir rm 24 Commands that will “grow” on you grep egrep fgrep cut tr join sed awk 25 Polling question Which command lists your files? 1) 2) 3) 4) ls -latr ls ls -lat All of these commands 26 Wildcards on command line and in regex’s ? matches exactly one character * matches zero or more characters Try ls with wildcards ls *.txt ls ?.txt 27 Using wildcards vs. find and xargs Wildcards, e.g.: ls ./*.txt These get expanded by the Bash shell command line As a result you cannot work with directories that have many-many files if you use wild-cards If you use find on the other hand this will run inside the program Thus you can search directories with many-many files find ./ -type f -name “*.txt” 28 How to tar files List files: tar tvf tarred_file.tar | grep xxx Extract tar.gz: tar zxvf tarred_file.tar.gz Extract tar: tar xvf tarred_file.tar Compress: tar cvf tarred_file.tar directory tar cvf tarred_file.tar --exclude “*pattern*” directory 29 man command for help manual Try in terminal (Mac or Ubuntu): $ man tar Most commands differ between linux distributions, good idea to check the man/help page. $ tar --help $ tar -h $ tar –usage Or, use stackoverflow and google 30 Sockets and Pipes • Pipes are special files used to pass bytes between two processes. Process writeread A Process B Pipe • Sockets are similar, but are used to connect two processes on different machines across a network. 56 CS 131.01 Processing Big Data: Tools and Techniques 2.
