	Feature: OMU - One Man Unix
		He was used to V7 Unix on the PDP-11 at university and wasn't keen to step backwards 10 years to the technology of CP/M and BASIC programming.
		The much greater memory-addressing ability of the 68000 coupled with the fact that the SBCs typically had 256K of RAM on board meant that this version of OMU soon featured some multi-tasking capabilities (though with no MMU available the processes had to be well-behaved).
		For convenience, the details of the filestore layout and the system-call interface of 68000 OMU was designed to duplicate those of the commercial 68000 V7 Unix system made by "Codata" (we had just taken delivery of two of these units to augment the aging PDP-11).

	unix(7): Sockets for local interprocess ... - Linux man page
		Unix sockets can be either anonymous (created by socketpair(2)) or associated with a file of socket type.
		A unix address is defined as a filename in the filesystem or as a unique string in the abstract namespace.
		The usual Unix close-behind semantics apply; the socket can be unlinked at any time and will be finally removed from the file system when the last reference to it is closed.

	Unix manual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Almost all substantial UNIX and Unix-like operating systems (nix) have extensive documentation known as man* pages (short for "manual pages").
		Virtually all Unix variants continue to support man pages, but for many programs they are no longer the primary form of online documentation and help.
		Most Unix GUI applications (particularly those built using the GNOME and KDE development environments), and many others, now provide end-user documentation in HTML and include embedded HTML viewers for viewing the help within the application.

	Unix System Calls Links
		When one describes UNIX as elegant, simple, efficient, reliable, and portable, one is referring not to the commands (some of which are none of these things), but to the kernel.
		The number of different flavors of Unix is amazing, and what is worse, the system calls and their parameters change from flavor to flavors.
		They realized that BSD4.3 and other types of Unix were stealing their market, so they grabbed all the new things in as many other flavors of Unix, and added them to System V. So System V Release 4 is very sophisticated, but also very bloated.

		If the man page entry is longer than can be displayed on the screen, press the spacebar to see the next screenful.
		They are written for experienced Unix users and programmers, and contain complete information on all the options and associated files for a command.
		Sometimes man entries for the same command are found in two different sections.

	Unix Command Dictionary
		The UNIX manual is mostly on line and the UNIX `man' command is used to display parts of the manual.
		This abridged UNIX dictionary is only intended to be a short enough list to get you started without being bewildered by the enormous UNIX manuals, but with enough commands to be able to do something useful.
		The UNIX full screen editor `vi' is a tightly designed editing system in which almost every letter has a function and the function is stronger for upper than lower case.

	UNIX man pages : man () (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Man will try to save the formatted man pages, in order to save format- ting time the next time these pages are needed.
		man uses a sophisticated method of finding manual page files, based on the invocation options and environment variables, the /etc/man.config configuration file, and some built in conventions and heuristics.
		But in the normal case where name doesn't contain a slash, man searches a variety of directories for a file that could be a manual page for the topic named.

	UNIX Pocket Reference List
		UNIX is the operating system on the ITS CCWF system (accounting code HPW), the UNIX Timesharing System (UTS), and the Academic Data Server (ADS).
		They must be typed that way: UNIX treats uppercase letters as different from their lowercase counterparts.
		When the UNIX system prompts you for a password, give the password originally issued for your user number, also in lowercase.

	man: Unix at D0: Computing and Core Software: D0
		On-line help for UNIX system commands and utilities is in the form of man pages (man stands for manual) which consist of an on-line version of the UNIX documentation set (often called the UNIX Programmer's Reference Manual).
		Man pages are typically formatted with the UNIX text processing utility nroff (or groff).
		Normally, man gives you one page at a time and lets you enter commands at the prompt to control what it does after each page.

		And finally, UNIX itself will be renamed "PC" - for Procreatively Challenged.

	Quick Guide to UNIX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		UNIX is the operating system, or basic software, used by the CUNIX Cluster, a group of Sun Sparc computers that provide services including file storage, electronic mail, and more.
		UNIX is case-sensitive; that is, capital and lowercase letters are not interchangeable.
		The commands are to be typed exactly as specified at the UNIX $ prompt and must be followed by a carriage return; words in italics are not to be typed.

		The School of Oceanography has several Unix workstations available for use in two public workrooms, 265 MSB and 212 ORB (more information).
		Partial words can be used and this is one of the few places in Unix where upper and lower case are allowed to match each other.

	Basic UNIX Info
		The set of files on UNIX and their relationships to one another is called the UNIX filesystem.
		This filesystem is described (loosely speaking) by a tree (remember your graph theory?) The leaves of the tree are ordinary files.
		You can also execute a set of UNIX commands by putting those commands into a text file (just as you would type them), and making that text file "executable." This kind of file is called a shell script.

	The Unix Poor Man's KVM
		The basic idea is that we are going to configure xdm on each machine so that it allows you to choose which machine you wish to login to, and to configure the X server on the master consoles so that it uses the local xdm to establish an X session.
		We also need to change the line that sets the default runlevel as follows (remembering that on this particular Unix implementation runlevel 5 is for a X windows environment upon startup).
		I know a number of professionals, including myself, who would love to be able to use their Unix workstations to access all those Windows desktops/servers we have to deal with in the course of our jobs.

	UNIX "man" Pages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		They contain almost everything to define how UNIX works, but are often terse, precise, and obscure.
		The man pages are divided into sections and the same topic can occur in several sections of the man pages.
		Within man use the Spacebar to see the next page and "Q" to stop (Space and "Q" work in most UNIX tools, also "/" to search for a string using a regular expression).

	unix (Linux Reviews)
		Unix sockets support passing file descriptors or process credentials to other processes using ancillary data.
		To pass file descriptors or credentials over a SOCK_STREAM, you need to send/recv at least one byte of non-ancillary data in the same send/recv_msg call.
		Unix domain stream sockets do not support the notion of out-of-band data.

	MAN PAGES - HOW TO READ MAN PAGES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Man pages are the standard documentation for every Unix; you're sure to come across a reference before too long of the form:
		Alternatively, you can just try the quick-and-dirty method of running grep (1) in the man directories you think might contain the command you are looking for; note that man pages are not stored in plain text format so the output may not be always readable.
		It's quite possible there is no man page corresponding to what you're looking for - either because the tool or functionality you're searching for isn't installed on the system or because it has no man page installed (the latter is far more common under Linux than elsewhere).

		Man-cgi is shell-sed-awk script which converts on the fly the output of the "man" command to HTML.
		When Man-cgi creates a cross-reference in a man page to another man page it uses the section number provided by the man page.
		For example, in our system the X11 man pages are stored in the "x" section, but the references in the man pages point to section "1" (e.g.

		Without a section number, "man" may give you any or all man pages for that "name".
		For example, "man write" will give you the manual pages for the write command, and "man 2 write" will give you the system call for "write" (usually from the C or Pascal programming language).
