The Functions of a Computer Operating System

The operating system provides for several other functions including:




• System tools (programs) used to monitor computer performance, debug problems, or maintain parts of the system.

• A set of libraries or functions which programs may use to perform specific tasks especially relating to interfacing with computer system components.

The operating system makes these interfacing functions along with its other functions operate smoothly and these functions are mostly transparent to the user.
