Overview of Operating System Functions by sullivan583 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The operating system (OS) is system software that is responsible for all functions of hardware and software. It performs key functions such as process management, memory management, disk management, security, networking, and uses a graphical user interface (GUI). Process management allows multiple tasks to run simultaneously by rapidly allocating small time slices to each process. Memory management involves allocating and de-allocating memory and swapping between RAM and secondary storage.
