How to identify a relative pathname? Where does relative pathname start?
Group of answer choices
Any pathname that does not start with / is a relative pathname and it starts at current working directory
Any pathname that starts with . is a relative pathname and it starts at the root
Any pathname that starts with / is a relative pathname and it starts at current working directory
Any pathname that starts with / is a relative pathname and it starts at the root

- A deadlock condition can occur in concurrent code if two or more threads each hold a resource and are waiting for another thread to release a resource they need to proceed. Question 10 options: True Falsearrow_forwardHow does a thread pool work, and what are the benefits of using thread pools in multithreaded applications?arrow_forwardAre these system specifications consistent? “If the file system is not locked, then new messages will be queued. If the file system is not locked, then the system is functioning normally, and conversely. If new messages are not queued, then they will be sent to the message buffer. If the file system is not locked, then new messages will be sent to the message buffer.arrow_forward

How different are threads created by the user and those created by the kernel? Is there ever a time when one kind would be better than the other?arrow_forwardDescribe how the least privilege concept is used differently by the operating systems UNIX/Linux and Windows.arrow_forward

- Because threads are little, they are referred to as "lightweight." Are system resources distributed differently when a thread is created? How do they differ from those employed in the original development of the approach?arrow_forwardDoes it make sense for a VM's threads to be mandated to use the same method space?arrow_forwardDemonstrate your grasp of the Unix file system by constructing a directory structure as follows : In your home ( ~ ) directory, create a directory named “UnixCourse”. This directory will be used in the remaining assignments of this course, as well as this one. Several of the commands that you will issue in this course will examine files in this directory and, in some cases, send me a listing of those files or even copies of those files for grading and diagnostic purposes. So you should not store anything unrelated to the course assignments in this ~/UnixCourse area. Within your UnixCourse directory, create a directory named “fileAsst”. Within that fileAsst directory, create two directories, named “TweedleDee” and “TweedleDum”. Use the ls and/or tree command to check your work. Within the TweedleDee directory, you should place a copy of the file ~cs252/Assignments/fileAsst/hatter.txt Use the ls and/or tree command to check your work. Within the TweedleDum directory, you should place a…arrow_forward
