Computer File Systems Questions

Multiple choice technology testing
  1. .jpl

  2. .bat

  3. .jpb

  4. .sln

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

JProbe saves configuration settings with the .jpl file extension. This file stores your analysis configuration including what types of data to collect, filters, triggers, and other profiling settings. The other extensions are for different tools - .bat is a Windows batch file, .sln is a Visual Studio solution file, and .jpb might be mistaken but is not the standard JProbe settings extension.

  1. Opens a file notes.txt

  2. fails to create a file and displays error

  3. fails to open a file but doesn't display error

  4. Opens a file but not notes.txt

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In Perl, the backslash in "c:\temp\notes.txt" is an escape character. \t becomes a tab character, \n becomes newline. So the actual filename interpreted is "c:empotes.txt" - a garbled path, not "c:\temp\notes.txt". The file will be created with this incorrect name if permissions allow.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C Correct answer
Explanation

The hosts.txt file (on Unix/Linux at /etc/hosts, on Windows at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) maps hostnames to IP addresses. It's checked before DNS queries, allowing you to bypass DNS for specific entries. It commonly sets 127.0.0.1 to 'localhost' for local loopback resolution. It does not host websites nor is it nonexistent.

  1. /etc/test vi

  2. vi /etc/test

  3. edit /etc/test

  4. None of these

The vi editor is invoked with the syntax 'vi [filename]'. Therefore 'vi /etc/test' is the correct way to open the /etc/test file. Option A has the wrong order (command first), option C uses a non-standard command, and 'edit' is not the standard vi invocation.
