Abstract: In a new version of the Unix operating system, a flexible coroutine-based design replaces the traditional rigid connection between processes and terminals or networks. Processing modules may be inserted dynamically into the stream that connects a user's program to a device. Programs may also connect directly to programs, providing interprocess communication. Introduction The part of the Unix operating system that deals with terminals and other character devices has always been complicated. In... (Update)
