ILL get back to you on this, but on my last question, i have read the superblock and it doesnt do what i wanted, instead of read the file and lseek to the superblock, i think its best to lseek to the zonebitmap, but after i do this what does the information represent there and once again how can i use that for loop

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
