1. Installation

3. Shutdown command (shutdown)
4. Process state command (ps)

xv6 is a teaching operating system developed in 2006 for MIT's operating systems course, Operating System Engineering. As, it is a fresh operating system, you can do several projects in the xv6 environment that will be helpful to achieve a clear knowledge of how the system calls are working and how the Operating System is managing everything. xv6 is a re-implementation of Dennis Ritchie's and Ken Thompson's Unix Version 6 (v6). xv6 loosely follows the structure and style of v6, but is implemented for a modern x86-based multiprocessor using ANSI C.

In my repository, you will be getting small projects and way of making system calls in xv6 that I have done during my Operating System course in BTech Computer science and engineering.
Hope it will be helpful.

BUILDING AND RUNNING xv6

To build xv6 on an x86 ELF machine (like Linux or FreeBSD), run "make". On non-x86 or non-ELF machines (like OS X, even on x86), you will need to install a cross-compiler gcc suite capable of producing x86 ELF binaries. See http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/tools.html.

To run xv6, install the QEMU PC simulators. To run in QEMU, run "make qemu".

Thank you.
