systems-prog-fall-20

A repo for CSCI 4547 (Systems programming) during fall 2020.

Three main projects under this repo:

• File sniffer
• Musical threads
• Musical sockets

FILE SNIFFER

Overview

A utility that searches a disk (on a unix system) for files that contain one or more of a set of words that will be supplied via command line. Possible arguments include:

• --dir or -d followed by a pathname (e.g. -d temp): This directory will be the root directory for the search. This argument is required.
• -i: Do a case-insensitive search. By default, the search is case-sensitive.
• -R: Do a recursive search (i.e. search files in sub-directories as well). By default, only files in the root directory are searched.
• -o [path to file]: Use the specified file for output. By default, output goes to the console.
• --verbose: Print the name of every file that is opened. If no search word is found, print a comment.
• A space-separated string of words to search for (e.g. apples bananas). This argument is required.

MUSICAL THREADS

Overview

Simulates a game of musicl chairs by having each "player" exist on a separate thread.

MUSICAL SOCKETS

Overview

Simulates a game of musicl chairs by having each "player" exist on a separate client socket, with each client connecting to the same server socket.
