Function of an Operating System


The operating system is the core software component of your computer. It performs many functions and is, in very basic terms, an interface between your computer and the outside world.

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.
