/* cs_4760 anthony nguyen 01/25/2022 */. project specification: the goal of this homework is to become familiar with concurrent processing in unix/linux using shared memory. you will write a program that uses multiple processes to increment a number in shared memory and write a message into a file. the multiple processes compete to get exclusive access to the file to write into, participating in possibly two race conditions (on the variable in shared memory and the file access). you will use the multiple process peterson’s synchronization algorithm for the critical section problem. the master process should allocate an integer in shared memory (sharednum) and initialize it to zero. then generate by default 5 slave processes using a master process and make them write into a file called test.out in the directory where the processes are running from. the message to be written into the file is: file modified by process number xx at time hh:mm with sharednum = yy where xx is the process number as specified in the master. the value of xx is between 1 and the max number of slaves (master process is taken to be process 0). this implies that the child process will be run by the command slave xx if a process starts to execute code to enter the critical section, it must print a message to that effect on
