Kernel I/O management

Kernel I/O management refers to how the operating system's core (or kernel) handles input and output operations, like reading files from a disk or sending data to a printer. It acts as a bridge between hardware devices and software applications, ensuring efficient communication. This management involves scheduling tasks, optimizing performance, and managing data buffers to prevent bottlenecks. By controlling how and when data is transferred between the computer’s processor and peripherals, the kernel helps ensure that the system runs smoothly and that user requests are handled promptly and efficiently.
