Hi,

I am a bit confused and mixing the concepts of the fork() system call the parent and the child share the following: • Environment • Open file descriptor table • Signal handling settings • Nice value • Current working directory • Root directory • File mode creation mask (umask) The professor says that the Open file descriptor will be explained later but he did not say anything about the Nice Value and File Mode creation mask. Please explain the Nice Value and File Mode creation mask in the context of fork () system call. Also tell me What is FILE MODE CREATION MASK?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am a bit confused and mixing the concepts that "In Indirect Communication, two processes can only communicate if they mail box." Sharing a mail box is like sharing memory. I am bit confused that the main theme of IPC is to avoid sharing memory for process communication. But here the technique is based on sharing the mail box.

Thanks.
