Role of OS
 Functions Performed by the Operating System

The programs that make up the OS perform a

variety of activities, including the following:
● Control common computer hardware
functions
● Provide a user interface and manage
input/output management
● Provide a degree of hardware independence
● Manage system memory
● Manage processing tasks
● Provide networking capability
● Control access to system resources
● Manage files
Functions Performed by the Operating System

Common Hardware Functions The OS enables

applications to perform a variety of
hardware-related tasks, such as the following:

● Get input from the keyboard or another

input device
● Retrieve data from disks
● Store data on disks
● Display information on a monitor or
printer

Graphical User Interface
GUI
● An interface that displays
pictures (icons) and menus
that people use to send
commands to the computer
system.
● GUIs are more intuitive to
use than command-based
interfaces because they try
to anticipate the user’s
needs and they provide
easy-to-recognize options.
Application Programming
Interface:
API
● A set of programming
instructions and standards
that enables one software
program to access and use the
services of another software
program.
● also provide a degree of
hardware independence so
that the underlying hardware
can change without
necessarily requiring a rewrite
of the software applications.
