Key Concepts

For this test, you should understand the following terms and how they interrelate at a high level:

  • execve semantics
  • how command line variables are processed by execve
  • how environment variables are processed by execve
  • signal handlers
  • concurrent operation with fork
  • producer/consumer
  • semaphores
  • basic pthreads
  • System V init scripts versus launchd
  • mounting filesystems
  • loopback mounting
  • sparse files
  • basic filesystem implementation, VFS abstraction

You will also likely need material covered in Test 1.
