Question 1(4 points)
The following process operates on a file that contains the following lines:
LINE1
LINE2
LINE3
Consider the following code snippet (the read consumes 6 characters because of the newline at the end of each line):
int retval;
pid_t childpid = fork();
if (childpid >0){
char buf[1024];
fd1= open("file", O_RDWR);
retval = read(fd1, buf, 6);
write(STDOUT, buf, 6);
} else if (childpid ==0){
char buf[1024];
fd1= open("file", O_RDWR);
fd2= dup(fd1);
retval = read(fd1, buf, 6);
retval = read(fd2, buf+6,6);
write(STDOUT, buf, 12);
}
Assume the file exists and the fork and the reads and writes succeed.
Which of the following outputs, if any, are possible (newlines are omitted to make the options easier to read)? Choose all that apply.
LINE1 LINE1 LINE2
LINE1 LINE2 LINE1
LINE1 LINE2 LINE3
LINE1 LINE3 LINE2
LINE2 LINE1 LINE3
None of the above (explain briefly in comments)
