Introduction
What is Operating System?
- Operating System can be defined as an interface between user and the hardware.
- An operating system is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and
provides common services for computer programs.
- It provides an environment to the user so that, the user can perform its task in convenient and
efficient way.
- It performs all the basic tasks like file management, memory management, process management,
handling input and output, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.
- Some popular Operating Systems include Linux Operating System, Windows Operating System.
- Today, Operating systems is found almost in every device like mobile phones, personal computers,
mainframe computers, automobiles, TV, Toys etc.

Introduction
Functions of Operating System
- Resource Management: The OS manages and allocates memory, CPU time, and other hardware
resources among the various programs and processes running on the computer.
- Process Management: The OS is responsible for starting, stopping, and managing processes and
programs. It also controls the scheduling of processes and allocates resources to them.
- Memory Management: The operating system manages the computer’s primary memory and
provides mechanisms for optimizing memory usage.
- Security: The operating system provides a secure environment for the user, applications, and data by
implementing security policies and mechanisms such as access controls and encryption.
- File Management: The operating system is responsible for organizing and managing the file system,
including the creation, deletion, and manipulation of files and directories.

Introduction
Functions of Operating System
- Device Management: The operating system manages input/output devices such as printers,
keyboards, mice, and displays. It provides the necessary drivers and interfaces to enable
communication between the devices and the computer.
- Networking: The operating system provides networking capabilities such as establishing and
managing network connections, handling network protocols, and sharing resources such as
printers and files over a network.
- User Interface: The operating system provides a user interface that enables users to interact with
the computer system. This can be a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a Command-Line Interface
(CLI), or a combination of both.
- Backup and Recovery: The operating system provides mechanisms for backing up data and
recovering it in case of system failures, errors, or disasters..

- It is common among scientific, engineering, and academic institutions due to its most
appreciative features like multitasking, flexibility, and many more.
- In UNIX, the file system is a hierarchical structure of files and directories where users
can store and retrieve information using the files.
- It features a command-line interface that allows users to interact with the system
through a series of commands, rather than through a graphical user interface (GUI).
- The source code of Unix is not freely available.
- Unix is not portable.
