.sh "Kernel primitives
|
|
.PP
|
|
The facilities available to a UNIX user process are logically
|
|
divided into two parts: kernel facilities directly implemented by
|
|
UNIX code running in the operating system, and system facilities
|
|
implemented either by the system, or in cooperation with a
|
|
\fIserver process\fP. These kernel facilities are described in
|
|
this section 1.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The facilities implemented in the kernel are those which define the
|
|
\fIUNIX virtual machine\fP in which each process runs.
|
|
Like many real machines, this virtual machine has memory management hardware,
|
|
an interrupt facility, timers and counters. The UNIX
|
|
virtual machine also allows access to files and other objects through a set of
|
|
\fIdescriptors\fP. Each descriptor resembles a device controller,
|
|
and supports a set of operations. Like devices on real machines, some
|
|
of which are internal to the machine and some of which are external,
|
|
parts of the descriptor machinery are built-in to the operating system, while
|
|
other parts are often implemented in server processes on other machines.
|
|
The facilities provided through the descriptor machinery are described in
|
|
section 2.
