For this lab, you will implement your own version of the cat systems program, a standard Unix utility that reads files sequentially, writing them to standard output. The name is derived from its function to concatenate files. The Single Unix Specification defines the operation of cat to read files in the sequence given in its arguments, writing their contents to the standard output in the same sequence. If one of the input filenames is specified as a single hyphen (-), then cat reads from standard input at that point in the sequence. If no files are specified, cat reads from standard input only. The command syntax is: $ ./cat [file_name...] You are NOT allowed to use the exec, system, popen, and pclose system calls or functions in your implementation. You are not allowed to call the existing cat implementation. You must supply your own implementation that uses low-level I/O. Low-level file I/O is a requirement for this breakout lab. Hint: if you would like to check to see whether you have implemented cat correctly, then you could simply compare the behaviors of your cat program with the cat program/command on odin. When reading from standard input, either provide no argument, or just provide a single hyphen (-). The user input typed on the keyboard is highlighted in green. To terminate user input, use Ctrl-D to send EOF. $ ./cat hello hello world world $ ./cat - hello hello world world When reading from a single text file, the entire content of the file is displayed on the screen. Note that "file1.txt" and "file2.txt" can be extracted from the "lab05 files.zip" downloaded from eLC. You are also strongly encouraged to do more testing with different files. $ ./cat file1.txt This is the first line in file1.txt This is the last line $ ./cat file2.txt This is the content of file2.txt This is the last line When reading from multiple files, the contents of all files are displayed on the screen. Please note that standard input (-) can be a valid argument among the filenames. When done typing on the keyboard, be sure to use Ctrl-D to send EOF, and then the contents of subsequent file(s) should be displayed. $ ./cat file1.txt file2.txt This is the first line in file1.txt This is the last line This is the content of file2.txt This is the last line $ ./cat - file2.txt hello hello world world This is the content of file2.txt This is the last line

Are these system specifications consistent? “If the file system is not locked, then new messages will be queued. If the file system is not locked, then the system is functioning normally, and conversely. If new messages are not queued, then they will be sent to the message buffer. If the file system is not locked, then new messages will be sent to the message buffer. New messages will not be sent to the message buffer.”
