POSIX provides a large standard set of functions that will be helpful throughout the semester. To familiarize ourselves with these functions, you’ll be responsible explaining one POSIX function to the class. Your POSIX function will be assigned during lab time. In your presentation, you will have three minutes to answer the following questions:
You should start by reading the man page for your assigned procedure, but make sure you test it—man pages are not always perfectly clear.
Some functions may be included on man pages with other related functions;
you should read and understand what makes your assigned function different from the related functions, and be prepared to explain that during your presentation
If you would like to include sample code in your short presentation, please upload it to Gradescope under the “Exercise: POSIX Presentations” assignment no later than noon on Monday. You do not need to use example code, but if send it in I will put your code on a slide so you can refer to it during your brief presentation.
