SYSTEM CALLs AND APIs
MULTIPROCESSING:
fork();
exec( *parameter(s) );
execlp( *parameter(s) );
wait( *parameter(s) );
sleep( *parameter(s) );
FILE READING/WRITING:
read( *parameter(s) );
write( *parameter(s) );
open( *parameter(s) );
close( *parameter(s) );
IPC:
shm_fd = shm_open(name, O CREAT | O RDWR, 0666);
ftruncate(shm_fd, 4096);
mmap( *parameter(s) );
munmap( *parameter(s) );
PIPES:
pipe( *parameter(s) ); //ordinary/unnamed/anonymous pipes
mkfifo( *parameter(s) ); //named pipes
unlink( *parameter(s) );
PTHREADING:
pthread_create( *parameter(s) );
pthread_join( *parameter(s) );
pthread_exit( *parameter(s) );
pthread_cancel( *parameter(s) );
pthread_attr_init( *parameter(s) );
pthread_attr_setdetachstate( *parameter(s) );
pthread_attr_destroy( *parameter(s) );
signal( *parameter(s) );
