UNIX SIMP Questions-The TIE Review Team: Module-5 (Easiest Module, Start First)

This document outlines seven modules of questions for a UNIX SIMP exam. Module 1 covers basic UNIX commands and file system concepts. Module 2 focuses on file permissions and regular expressions. Module 3 involves APIs for memory allocation, IPC, and process operations. Module 4 explores IPC methods like pipes, message queues, and client-server programming. Module 5 is described as the easiest and involves signals, timers, and daemon processes. The last two modules involve more advanced topics like inter-process communication and kernel operations.
