The open-file table is used to maintain information about files that are
currently open. Should the operating system maintain a separate table
for each user or maintain just one table that contains references to files
that are currently being accessed by all users? If the same file is being
accessed by two different programs or users, should there be separate
entries in the open-file table? Explain.
