Section outline

  • Operating Systems are built to serve a number of services by handling a set of functions. This means that an OS has different functions depending on the organisation and the users expectations. They are also different services such as Input/Output operation, File system manipulation and communication among others. In other worlds, functions of an OS include but not limited to Job sequencing, Job control or Language Interpretation, Error handling and I/O (Process) handling.

    There also components of an OS which share the holistic common goal. These include Process Management, Main Memory and Second storage management among others that will be discussed in detail during this second part of the module component.
