Q1Domain Verified
Within the context of the "The Complete Linux System Programming Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", what is the primary conceptual distinction between `read()` and `pread()` system calls, particularly concerning file pointer manipulation?
`pread()` is exclusively used for binary files, while `read()` is for text files.
`read()` is a blocking call, and `pread()` is a non-blocking call, affecting I/O behavior.
`read()` always reads from the current file offset and advances it, whereas `pread()` always reads from a specified offset without altering the file offset.
`read()` requires an explicit `lseek()` call before each read operation, while `pread()` inherently handles offset management.
Q2Domain Verified
Considering the "The Complete Linux System Programming Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!" emphasis on robust error handling, which of the following scenarios would most likely lead to a `EINVAL` error from the `write()` system call on a standard Linux system?
Providing a NULL pointer for the buffer argument.
Writing to a pipe where the reader has closed its end.
Attempting to write to a file descriptor that has been closed.
Writing a negative number of bytes to be written.
Q3Domain Verified
In the advanced Linux system programming context of "The Complete Linux System Programming Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", what is the critical difference in behavior between `open()` with the `O_TRUNC` flag and `ftruncate()` when applied to an existing file?
`O_TRUNC` requires root privileges, whereas `ftruncate()` does not.
`O_TRUNC` is applied during file opening and truncates the file to zero length immediately, while `ftruncate()` can be called at any time to resize a file to a specified length.
`O_TRUNC` only works on regular files, while `ftruncate()` can be used on any file descriptor.
`O_TRUNC` truncates the file to a specified byte size, while `ftruncate()` truncates it to zero length.
