  2. Copy-on-write - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-on-write

    Copy-on-write can be implemented efficiently using the page table by marking certain pages of memory as read-only and keeping a count of the number of references to the page. When data is written to these pages, the operating-system kernel intercepts the write attempt and allocates a new physical page, initialized with the copy-on-write data ...

    In multitasking operating systems, processes (running programs) need a way to create new processes, e.g. to run other programs. Fork and its variants are typically the only way of doing so in Unix-like systems. For a process to start the execution of a different program, it first forks to create a copy of itself.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_(system_call)

    The destination is identified by a numeric code. The data to be written, for instance a piece of text, is defined by a pointer and a size, given in number of bytes. write thus takes three arguments: The file code (file descriptor or fd). The pointer to a buffer where the data is stored (buf). The number of bytes to write from the buffer (nbytes).

  8. Filesystem in Userspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace

    To implement a new file system, a handler program linked to the supplied libfuse library needs to be written. The main purpose of this program is to specify how the file system is to respond to read/write/stat requests. The program is also used to mount the new file system. At the time the file system is mounted, the handler is registered with ...

    JDK 7 includes a java.nio.file package which, with the Path class (also new to JDK 7), among other features, provides extended capabilities for filesystem tasks, e.g. can work with symbolic/hard links and dump big directory listings into buffers more quickly than the old File class does. The java.nio.file package and its related package, java ...
