main.cc

Go to the documentation of this file.

// main.cc 
//      Bootstrap code to initialize the operating system kernel.
//
//      Allows direct calls into internal operating system functions,
//      to simplify debugging and testing.  In practice, the
//      bootstrap code would just initialize data structures,
//      and start a user program to print the login prompt.
//
//      Most of this file is not needed until later assignments.
//
// Usage: nachos -d <debugflags> -rs <random seed #>
//              -s -x <nachos file> -c <consoleIn> <consoleOut>
//              -f -cp <unix file> <nachos file>
//              -p <nachos file> -r <nachos file> -l -D -t
//              -n <network reliability> -m <machine id>
//              -o <other machine id>
//              -z
//
//    -d causes certain debugging messages to be printed (cf. utility.h)
//    -rs causes Yield to occur at random (but repeatable) spots
//    -z prints the copyright message
//
//  USER_PROGRAM
//    -s causes user programs to be executed in single-step mode
//    -x runs a user program
//    -c tests the console
//
//  FILESYS
//    -f causes the physical disk to be formatted
//    -cp copies a file from UNIX to Nachos
//    -p prints a Nachos file to stdout
//    -r removes a Nachos file from the file system
//    -l lists the contents of the Nachos directory
//    -D prints the contents of the entire file system 
//    -t tests the performance of the Nachos file system
//
//  NETWORK
//    -n sets the network reliability
//    -m sets this machine's host id (needed for the network)
//    -o runs a simple test of the Nachos network software
//
//  NOTE -- flags are ignored until the relevant assignment.
//  Some of the flags are interpreted here; some in system.cc.
