	Unix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unix or UNIX is a computer operating system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group of ATandT Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy.
		The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter, hierarchical file system, treating devices and certain types of inter-process communication as files, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and for the Unix philosophy.
		During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Unix's influence in academic circles led to massive adoption (particularly of the BSD variant, originating from the University of California, Berkeley) of Unix by commercial startups, the most notable of which is Sun Microsystems.

	Unix manual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UNIX Programmer's Manual was first published on November 3, 1971.
		Most Unix GUI applications (particularly those built using the GNOME and KDE development environments) now provide end-user documentation in HTML and include embedded HTML viewers for viewing the help within the application.
		The manual is generally split into eight numbered sections, organised as follows (on BSD Unix and Linux):

		In 1971, when this manual was written, we had moved off the original PDP-7 to the PDP-11/20; it had 24KB of core memory, and no memory management hardware at all.

	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.
		UNIX -- and its programmer's manual -- was only a fraction of its present size and complexity.
		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.

		Once the Unix kernel was coded in C, it would become possible to implement Unix on different computers without having to rewrite the majority of the code.
		The contributions to the evolution of Unix by researchers at Bell Labs and then by those at the University of California at Berkeley, and other users and programmers around the world who continued the development of Unix, are an important achievement in the development of the process of software creation.
