Process Control Block explained | Life Cycle of a Process in OS | Process in OS | part (3/3)
Welcome to the third and final part of our Operating System Process Management series!
In this video, we dive deep into Process Control Block (PCB) — a critical data structure that the OS uses to manage processes.
We also explore the life cycle of a process, including different states like new, ready, running, waiting, and terminated.
📌 Topics Covered:
What is a Process Control Block (PCB)?
Components/Fields of a PCB
Process States & Life Cycle
State Transitions Explained
Role of OS in Process Management
