Fork/Join

Simple example of the fork/join (i.e., waiting for a child) problem using semaphores, found in join.c.

Run make to build the code; run join to test it. Fun!

prompt> make
prompt> ./join

Binary Semaphores (Locks)

Simple example of semaphores as locks (binary semaphores). Code in binary.c.

Run make to build the code; run binary to test it. Fun!

prompt> make
prompt> ./binary

The dining philosophers example from the text is found herein, in a few different forms:

dining_philosophers.c: code with deadlock
dining_philosophers_print.c: code with deadlock, and some useful printing
dining_philosophers_no_deadlock.c: code without deadlock
dining_philosophers_no_deadlock_print.c: code without deadlock, and some useful printing

Run make to build all of them with the highly primitive Makefile.
