Operating System Quiz (Set 3) Operating System (Set 3) 1 / 10 What is the purpose of the 'top' command in Unix-like operating systems? To change the user's password To list the contents of a directory To display real-time information about system processes To provide an abstract representation of an opened file 2 / 10 What is a race condition in the context of operating systems? A situation in which multiple processes are competing for resources A situation in which a process enters a state of infinite execution A situation in which a process consumes more resources than allocated A situation in which the outcome of a computation depends on the order of execution of operations 3 / 10 What is the purpose of the 'fork' system call in Unix-like operating systems? To allocate memory to different processes To create a new user account To create a new process by duplicating the current process To manage communication between hardware devices and the CPU 4 / 10 What is a superuser (root) in Unix-like operating systems? A user with restricted access to the system A user with administrative privileges and full control over the system A user with read-only access to the system A user with limited access to the network 5 / 10 What is the role of a bootloader in an operating system? To manage the execution of processes in the CPU To provide user interfaces for applications To manage communication between hardware devices and the CPU To load the operating system into memory and start the boot process 6 / 10 What is a system call in operating systems? A type of hardware interrupt A type of process that runs in the background An interface provided by the operating system for applications to request services from the kernel A type of memory management technique 7 / 10 What is the purpose of the 'chroot' command in Unix-like operating systems?
