COMP3000 Operating Systems W22: Tutorial 3

In this tutorial, you will be experimenting with and extending 3000shell.c, a proof-of-concept program to show you how a Linux shell works. Also, you will be learning to read and modify C code, which prepares you for subsequent tutorials and assignments.

Make sure you use the original code from 3000shell for each question.

Tutorials are graded based on participation and effort (so no need to try to have the “correct” answers — what matters is the process), but you should still turn in your work. Submit your answers on Brightspace as a single text file named "<username>-comp3000-t3.txt" (where username is your MyCarletonOne username). The first four lines of this file should be "COMP 3000 Tutorial 3", your name, student number, and the date of submission.

The deadline is usually four days after the tutorial date (see the actual deadline on the submission entry). Note that the submission entry is enforced by the system, so you may fail to get the effort marks even if it is one minute past the deadline.

You should also check in with your assigned TA online (by responding to the poll in the Teams channel tutorials-public or the private channel). Your TA will be your first point of contact when you have questions or encounter any issues during the tutorial session.

You get 1.5 marks for submitting answers that shows your effort and 0.5 for checking in, making this tutorial worth 2 points total.
