Subject: [TUHS] Of flags and keyletters
Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2024 04:21:44 +1100 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2403010407290.37577@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)

Just recollecting old memories: why did AT&T refer to "flags" as 
"keyletters" in its SysV documentation?  Some sort of denial of 
Ed5/6/7/BSD's very existence?

The one good they did was the TTY driver...
