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.
