Functions of an Operating System

  1. Manages hardware devices.

  2. Runs application programs.

  3. Manages memory.

  4. Controls input and output devices.

  5. Provides user interface (GUI or CUI).

  6. Manages files and folders.

Types of Operating System

1. Multitasking Operating System

Definition:
A multitasking OS allows a computer to run more than one program at the same time.

Example:

  • Microsoft Windows

  • macOS

Example Situation:
Listening to music while typing a document.

Use:

  • In personal computers

  • For office work

2. Multi-user Operating System

Definition:
A multi-user OS allows multiple users to use the same computer system at the same time.

Examples:

  • Unix

  • Linux

Use:

  • Used in servers

  • Used in banks and large organizations

3. Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)

Definition:
A Real-Time Operating System processes data immediately without delay.

Examples:

  • VxWorks

  • QNX

Example Uses:

  • Air traffic control systems

  • Medical machines

  • Industrial robots

CUI (Character User Interface)

Definition:
CUI is a type of interface where the user types commands using the keyboard to communicate with the computer.

Example:

  • MS-DOS

Example Command:
DIR

Real-Time Processing OS Examples

Two examples of real-time processing OS:

  1. VxWorks

  2. QNX

Difference Between Single User OS and Multi User OS

Single User OSMulti User OS
Only one user can use the system at a timeMany users can use the system at the same time
Used in personal computersUsed in servers
Simple to manageMore complex
Example: MS-DOSExample: Unix

Booting

Definition:
