PART A

Q1. 1.Write a C Program to display a menu and perform respective tasks ?

*****************************************
*** 1. Search User info by UID ***
*** 2. Search User info by user Name ***
*** 3. Display Info. Of all users ***
*** 4. Quit ***
********************************************
Ans:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
uid_t uid;
gid_t gid;
struct passwd *pw;
uid = getuid();
gid = getgid();
printf("User is %s\n", getlogin());
printf("User IDs: uid=%d, gid=%d\n", uid, gid);
pw = getpwuid(uid);
printf("UID passwd entry:\n name=%s, uid=%d, gid=%d, home=%s,
shell=%s\n",
pw−>pw_name, pw−>pw_uid, pw−>pw_gid, pw−>pw_dir,
pw−>pw_shell);
pw = getpwnam("root");
printf("root passwd entry:\n");
printf("name=%s, uid=%d, gid=%d, home=%s, shell=%s\n",
pw−>pw_name, pw−>pw_uid, pw−>pw_gid, pw−>pw_dir,
pw−>pw_shell);
exit(0);
}

2. Write a C program to display a menu and do following tasks

*****************************************************
 *** 1. Display System time (low level) ***
*** 2. Display date in year-month – day format ***
*** 3. Add current user & time in Log file ***
*** 4. Display date & time without gmtime() ***
*****************************************************

Ans :- with gm time

#include<time.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
Int main()
{
Struct tm, *tm_ptr;
Time_t t;
(void) time(&t);
Int i;
Tm_ptr = gmtime(&tm);
For(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
T= time((time_t *) 0);
Printf(“the time in %d\n”,t);
Sleep(2);
Break;
}
Printf(“gmtime is %d\n%d\n%d”,tm_ptr->tm_mday,(tm_ptr->tm_mon+1),
(tm_ptr->tm_year+1900));
Exit(0);
}
Without gm time
#include<time.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
Int main()
{
Time_t t;
(void) time(&t);
Printf(“raw time is %d”,t);
Printf(“ctime is %s”,ctime(&t));
Exit(0);
}

3. Write a C program to create a temporary file and display its name

and time of creation and name of user who created it.

Ans:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char tmpname[L_tmpnam];
char *filename;
FILE *tmpfp;
filename = tmpnam(tmpname);
printf("Temporary file name is: %s\n", filename);
tmpfp = tmpfile();
if(tmpfp)
printf("Opened a temporary file OK\n");
else
perror("tmpfile");
exit(0);
}

PART B

4. Write a C program to check if any key is hit and make change in the
terminal settings as follows:
c- Switch to canonical mode.
n- Switch to non canonical mode.
s- Does not allow the signal keys like ctrl+D etc.
o- Reset the original settings.
q- Quit from program.
And while waiting for any key to hit it should print the message “Please
press any key”.
Ans :-
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<fcntl.h>
#include<term.h>
#include<curses.h>
#include<termios.h>
Int main()
{
Char ch;
While ()

5. Write a C program to maintain student record. It should also allocate

memory dynamically for the following structure.
Struct student
{
Char name [20];
Int Rollno;
Float marks;
};

The program menu should be:

1. Add new record.
2. Delete a record.
3. Display records.
4. Quit.

Ans:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
char *menu[] = {
"a − add new record",
"d − delete record",
"q − quit",
NULL,
};
int getchoice(char *greet, char *choices[], FILE *in, FILE *out);
int main()
{
int choice = 0;
FILE *input;
FILE *output;
if(!isatty(fileno(stdout))) {
fprintf(stderr,"You are not a terminal, OK.\n");
}
input = fopen("/dev/tty", "r");
output = fopen("/dev/tty", "w");
if(!input || !output) {
fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open /dev/tty\n");
exit(1);
}
do {
choice = getchoice("Please select an action", menu, input, output);
printf("You have chosen: %c\n", choice);
} while(choice != 'q');
exit(0);
}
int getchoice(char *greet, char *choices[], FILE *in, FILE *out)
{
int chosen = 0;
int selected;
char **option;
do {
fprintf(out,"Choice: %s\n",greet);
option = choices;
while(*option) {
fprintf(out,"%s\n",*option);
option++;
}
do {
selected = fgetc(in);
} while(selected == '\n');
option = choices;
while(*option) {
 if(selected == *option[0]) {
chosen = 1;
break;
}
option++;
}
if(!chosen) {
fprintf(out,"Incorrect choice, select again\n");
}
} while(!chosen);
return selected;
}
The program should de-allocate the memory occupied before exiting from the
program.

Q6 WAP to create a file with name provided as command line argument and place a
write lock on it

ANS:

Create a Write Lock with fcntl

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
 
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
  char* file = argv[1];
  int fd;
  struct flock lock;
 
  printf ("opening %s\n", file);
  /* Open a file descriptor to the file.  */
  fd = open (file, O_WRONLY);
  printf ("locking\n");
  /* Initialize the flock structure.  */
  memset (&lock, 0, sizeof(lock));
  lock.l_type = F_WRLCK;
  /* Place a write lock on the file.  */
  fcntl (fd, F_SETLKW, &lock);
  printf ("locked; hit Enter to unlock... ");
  /* Wait for the user to hit Enter. */
  getchar ();
 
  printf ("unlocking\n");
  /* Release the lock. */
  lock.l_type = F_UNLCK;
  fcntl (fd, F_SETLKW, &lock);
 
  close (fd);
  return 0;
}
