Cs56 Super-Imp-Tie-23

This document contains questions for a CS-56 SIMP exam organized into 5 modules. Module 1 includes questions about the architecture of UNIX OS, common commands and their syntax, file types in UNIX, and pathnames. Module 2 focuses on additional commands like grep and ls, the shell interpretive cycle, file permissions, and shell scripting. Module 3 covers C program memory layout, setjmp and longjmp functions, process creation and termination, and file APIs. Module 4 is about IPC mechanisms like FIFOs, pipes, message queues and shared memory. Finally, Module 5 addresses daemon processes, error logging, signals, and timers.
