MUTEX

AIM: To write a program for MUTEX in real time operating system.

Apparatus:
-PC
- LINUX Terminal.

ALGORITHM:

Step 1: Initialize local variable threads rthread,cthread.

Step 2: initialize a mutex object and set initial value to ‘0’.
Step 3: create rthread
Step 4: if result not equal to zero print mutex initialisation failed,goto step 9.
Step 5: if result =’0’ then initialize rthread.
Step 6: if entered text is stop terminate,if not go to step 7.
Step 7: if mutex is unlock then lock mutex,if mutex is locked increment n.
Step 8: goto step 6.
Step 9: create cthread.
Step 10:if result not equal to zero terminate cthread and delete mutex ,go to step 16.
Step 11: initialize cthread
Step 12: if mutex is locked decrement n by 1.
Step 13: if mutex is unlock check entered text .
Step 14: if entered text is stop then terminate.
Step 15: if text is not stop convert text to upper case,goto step 12.
Step 16: end
