Barber Shop Example Using Mutex and Semaphore in OS | pthread_create Example (C)

Description:    Consider a situation of a hair salon where there is a barber room containing the barber chair and a waiting room for customers comprising of n chairs. The barber goes to sleep if there is no customer in the salon. If a customer arrives the salon and all chairs are occupied, then the customer leaves the salon. But the customer sits in one of the free chairs if the barber is busy and chairs are available. If the barber is asleep, the customer wakes up the barber.

The following information is provided:

•  Customer threads should invoke a function named getHairCut.
• If a customer thread arrives when the salon is full, it can invoke balk, which does not return.
• Barber threads should invoke cutHair.
• When the barber invokes cutHair, getHairCut should be invoked by exactly on thread concurrently.
