Repository with tasks for Computer Networks and Systems laboratory classes
## Topic 1 Little warmup
I'm sure you are all proficient C/C++ programmers, but - just in case you had a long break and forgot some things - lets do a little warmup.
Write your own version of Unix "cp" (copy) command.
As a bare minimum - please write a program that:
2021-03-09 23:20:28 +01:00
- [x] accepts source and destination filenames as its arguments (you DO remember how to use argc and argv ?)
- [x] makes a copy of indicated file
- [x] returns 0 on success, any non-zero value on error
- [x] uses ONLY POSIX I/O functions (open, close, read, write - consult appropriate manuals)
2021-03-03 15:22:13 +01:00
NOTICE: Do not assume, that you can read entire file into memory. Please read manuals carefully - pay attention to each function's return value!
I'm sure this task will prove to be to easy to some of you - in this case you can extend your program - for example you can add features to allow:
2021-03-09 23:20:28 +01:00
- [ ] copy source_file dest_dir (copy source file to the indicated directory, keeping its name)
2021-03-03 15:22:13 +01:00
- copy file1 file2 file3 dest_dir (copy files file1...file3 into destination directory)
- ... ?
As a solution - provide your source code here.
