System calls serve as the bridge between user-space and kernel-space, allowing user programs to request kernel services. Interrupts: Interrupts include soft interru ...

Signal Handlign Examples 1. Capturing SIGINT This program demonstrates capturing the SIGINT signal (Ctrl+C) with a custom handler. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> void sigint_handler(int sig_num) { if (sig_num == SIGINT) { printf("Ctrl+C was pressed.\n&quot ...
