Subject: [TUHS] Portals in 4.4 BSD
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:28:11 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461920291.2703061.593186393.3DD04F16@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
Hello everyone!
I had been lurking this list for long, this is my first post to this
list.
I read with a lot of interest, an old Usenix paper by the late Richard
Stevens on a system called "Portals":
<https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedings/neworl/stevens.html>
It explores a lot of ideas that found itself in Plan 9, like a
filesystem interface for sockets etc. Wondering if this survived in any
existing, so called "modern" Unix. I have always felt the need to have
something like this in Unix.
Cheers
