QNo.1 Synchronization objects?
Answer:-
A synchronization object is an object whose handle can be specified in one of the wait functions to coordinate the execution of multiple threads. More than one process can have a handle to the same synchronization object, making interprocess synchronization possible.

QNo.3 Give two disadvantages of the DLL version
Answer:-
- Saves memory and reduces swapping.
Many processes can use a single DLL simultaneously, sharing a single copy of the DLL in memory.
- Saves disk space.
Many applications can share a single copy of the DLL on disk. In contrast, each application built with a static link library has the library code linked into its executable image as a separate copy.

QNo.5 dynamic library that export DLL function “hello! You are here in DLL”
Answer:-
Say you want to build this minimal function in mydll.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int
hello()
{
printf (“Hello World!\n”);
}
First compile mydll.c to object code: gcc -c mydll.c
Then, tell gcc that it is building a shared library: gcc -shared -o mydll.dll mydll.o
you can now link to the dll with a simple program:
int
main ()
{
hello ();
}
Then link to your dll with a command like: gcc -o myprog myprog.c -L./ -lmydll

QNo.36 what is the purpose of Bind Function?
Answer:- The bind function associates a local address with a socket. The bind function is used on an unconnected socket before subsequent calls to connect or listen functions. It is used to bind to either connection-oriented (stream) or connectionless (datagram) sockets. When a socket is created with a call to the socket function, it exists in a namespace (address family), but it has no name assigned to it. Use the bind function to establish the local association of the socket by assigning a local name to an unnamed socket.

QNo.39 Differentiate between Simple Windows Programs & Dynamic Link Library programs?
Answer:-
A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a file that can be loaded and executed by programs dynamically. Basically it’s an external code repository for programs. Since usually several different programs reuse the same DLL instead of having that code in their own file, this dramatically reduces required storage space. A synonym for a DLL would be library.
DLL does not have main function but exe has main function
Here DLL is in process component, both component and consumer will share same memory and Exe is out process component, it will run in its own memory.

QNo.41 briefly explain Checkbox?
Check Boxes
A check box consists of a square box and application-defined text (label), an icon, or a bitmap, that indicates a choice the user can make by selecting the button. Applications typically display check boxes in a group box to permit the user to choose from a set of related, but independent options. For example, an application might present a group of check boxes from which the user can select error conditions that produce warning beeps. A check box can be one of four styles: standard, automatic, three-state, and automatic three-state, as defined by the constants BS_CHECKBOX, BS_AUTOCHECKBOX, BS_3STATE, and BS_AUTO3STATE, respectively. Each style can assume two check states: checked (a check mark inside the box) or cleared (no check mark). In addition, a three-state check box can assume an indeterminate state (a grayed box inside the check box). Repeatedly clicking a standard or automatic check box toggles it from checked to cleared and back again. Repeatedly clicking a three-state check box toggles it from checked to cleared to indeterminate and back again. When the user clicks a check box (of any style), the check box receives the keyboard focus. The system sends the check box’s parent window a WM_COMMAND message containing the BN_CLICKED notification code. The parent window doesn’t acknowledge this message if it comes from an automatic check box or automatic three-
state check box, because the system automatically sets the check state for those styles. But the parent window must acknowledge the message if it comes from a check box or three-state check box because the parent window is responsible for setting the check state for those styles. Regardless of the check box style, the system automatically repaints the check box once its state is changed.
