About the Book
An operating system is the system software that manages a computer's hardware and software resources. It acts as an intermediary between applications and the hardware, handling essential functions such as input/output operations and memory management. The vital components of an operating system include the kernel, user interface, and networking systems. The kernel, often referred to as the core of the operating system, provides the foundational control over the computer's hardware. The user interface, or the shell, enables user interaction with the system, with the two primary types being command-line interfaces (CLI) and graphical user interfaces (GUI). This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of operating systems. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of operating systems as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.Book Synopsis
