《Operating System Concepts》阅读笔记：p62-p75

《Operating System Concepts》学习第 10 天，p62-p75 总结，总计 14 页。

一、技术总结

1.  system call

(1)  定义

The primary interface between processes and the operating system, providing a means to invoke services made available by the operating system.

(2)  类型

System calls can be grouped roughly into six major categories: process control, file management, device management, information maintenance, communications, and protection。

2.  interprocess communication

(1)  分类

There are two common models of interprocess communication: the message-

passing model and the shared-memory model.

二、英语总结(生词：3)

1.rewind

(1)rewind: re-(“again”) + wind(“to turn, to twist”)
vi/vt. go back to the beginning, move back to the start.
示例：We may also read(), write(), or reposition() (rewind or skip to the end of the file, for example)(《Operating System Concepts》第 71 页)。

2.exclusive

(1)exclusive:ex-(“out, away”) + claudere(“to close, to shout out”)
adj. exclusive refers to sth is limited, restricted or not shared with others–it implies that others are shut out or excluded。常见的用法有：exclusive use(专用), exclusiver access(独占式访问), exclusive right(专有权)。
示例：A system with multiple users may require us to first request() a device, to ensure exclusive use of it(《Operating System Concepts》第 72 页)。
(2)exclusive vs privileged
exclusive 强调 restriction or sole access(not shared or available to others), privileged 强调 special advantage or benefit(having something valuable or favorable)。

3.eligible

(1)eligible: e-(“out, from”) + legere(“to choose”)
adj. able to choosen(有资格的)。

三、其它

看了还不能实际地去运用是最让人痛苦的，更痛苦的是这两天有一个面试因为算法挂了，看来算法是绕不过去的门槛，今年打算再开一个算法的坑。
