RTS Objective Important Mid1 Questions

The document contains multiple choice questions about functions and concepts related to operating systems and real-time operating systems. It asks about functions for process termination (exit()), features of fork(), functions for random file access (lseek()), states of an RTOS (running), concepts that deal with task synchronization and data exchange (event registers), types of semaphores (counting semaphore), what a message queue is (a buffer-like object), states of a pipe (full), how to create a pipe (pipe), and how to prevent a signal from being delivered (ignore). It also contains fill-in-the-blank questions about how an RTOS schedules tasks (in a timely manner), what a scheduler determines (which
