Advanced Programming in the #UNIX Environment
Week 2: File Sharing
In this final video lecture segment for our week 2 materials, we take a look at what it means when multiple processes access the same files and what the implications of that are on the syscalls we know. We conclude with a look at /dev/fd on different operating systems, including #NetBSD, #macOS, and #Linux.

Advanced Programming in the #UNIX Environment Week 3: stat(2) intro In this video lecture, we meet our new best friend, the 'struct stat'. We'll cover the stat(2) system calls and begin discussing each of the fields in the struct, often by example of the ls(1) and stat(1) commands. In this way, we begin learning more about how the Unix File System is implemented. (Note that the output of stat(1) on #NetBSD is different from that on #Linux.) https://youtu.be/veFwXrEHPsk
