Computer File Systems

It is used to set the file-position indicator for the stream pointed to by the stream. The new position is measured in bytes from the begning of the file and obtained by adding offset to the position specified by whence, whose values are defined in <stdio.h>. fseek() function is used to randomly access a file. For example: int fseek(FILE *stream, long offset, int whence);

Regular file, Directory file and Device files are three types of files of Unix. The regular file is also called as ordinary file. Directory file is used for directories files and diectory. The device file is used for peripheral devices and other devices operations.

 We cannot find the file or directory name from inode. We can see the file type not file or directory name in inode attributes, so it is not a part of inode.

All users are not authorized to access tar, only admin or authorized personnel have rights to use tar command.

stdio.h is used for the standard input/output. assert.h contains the assert(). alloc.h contains the malloc(), calloc(), realloc() etc. malloc.h is not a header file.

The file name should be same as the class name containing the main method with an extension “.java”.

Since, the access is sequential greater the distance greater will be the access time. Since, all files are referenced with equal frequency overall access time can be reduced by arranging them as in option (1). 

To have a file holding a list, you need to: (1) identify which records belong in the list, and (2) identify the structure (name, width, type) of fields in each record. Option (3) about identifying a file in a record doesn't make semantic sense in this context. The correct answer combines (1) and (2) as both are necessary.

CGI - BINThe map-definition file is generally stored in CGI - BIN, while designing a web page which is by default a directory to store map definition file whereas, Recycle Bin and Bin are the directories having different functionality, so treated as wrong options.

The MIME text file is saved with HTML extension to display (multiples internet mail extensions) the page on web browser, which is the standard extension for MIME text file. Whereas HMT extension and THM extension does not contain any functionality so, treated as wrong options.

1 ZB = 10²¹ bytes 1 PB = 10¹⁵ bytes 1 TB = 10¹² bytes 1 KB = 10³ bytes

Now, increasing memory sizes of files will be F3 < F2.  This matches with option sequence, hence, this option is correct. 

PDF stands for Portable Document Format.

Winword.exe is the executable file that launches Microsoft Word. This naming convention has been consistent across Word versions - the 'win' prefix indicates Windows, and 'word' identifies the application. Other variations like Word.exe or Msword.exe are not the correct executable names.

COPY CON (copy from console) creates a file in DOS by accepting user input from the keyboard until Ctrl+Z is pressed. Type displays file contents, MD creates directories, and RD removes directories.

This section is used to declare the header files. These files are required to link to an appropriate function defined in it.
