UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Control two exclusively shared resources. The two resources are two files. The producer will write even numbers to one file, and odd numbers to another one. The consumer respectively reads from each file until it gets 5 even numbers and 5 odd numbers.

Can any one help me with the code.

Thanks in advance.

Is this homework?

Producer

exit(2);
}
for(i=1; i<=5 ; i++) {
if (semop(semID, &acquire, 1) == -1) {
perror(“Consumer waiting");
exit(4);
}
if ((fptr = fopen(PUB7645, "r")) == NULL) {
perror(PUB7645);
exit(1);
}
fscanf(fptr, "%d", &intValue);
fclose(fptr);

perror(“Release");
exit(4);
}
printf("%d\t", intValue);
}
printf("\nI am process %d. I got five numbers ", getpid());
printf("from a producer as above.\n");
}
