1. UNIX/Linux System Programming Jordan University of Science and Technology History

2. UNIX History First UNIX implementation in 1969 by Ken Thompson at Bell Laboratories, a division of the telephone corporation, AT&T. 1969 is the same year that Linus Torvalds was born. It was written in assembler for a Digital PDP-7 minicomputer. The name UNIX came from MULTICS (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service), the name of an earlier operating system project in which AT&T collaborated with MIT and GE.

3. C programming language B programming language was initially implemented by Thompson and drew many of its ideas from an earlier programming language named BCPL. A short time later, Dennis Ritchie, one of Thompson’s colleagues at Bell Laboratories and an early collaborator on UNIX, designed and implemented the C programming language. This was an evolutionary process. By 1973, C had matured to a point where the UNIX kernel could be almost entirely rewritten in the new language.

4. Six edition of UNIX (1969-1979) First Edition, November 1971: By this time, UNIX was running on the PDP-11 and already had a FORTRAN compiler and versions of many programs still used today, including ar, cat, chmod, chown, cp, dc, ed, find, ln, ls, mail, mkdir, mv, rm, sh, su, and who. Second Edition, June 1972: By this time, UNIX was installed on ten machines within AT&T. Third Edition, February 1973: This edition included a C compiler and the first implementation of pipes. Fourth Edition, November 1973: This was the first version to be almost totally written in C. Fifth Edition, June 1974: By this time, UNIX was installed on more than 50 systems. Sixth Edition, May 1975: This was the first edition to be widely used outside AT&T.

5. BSD at Berkeley Thompson went to the University of California at Berkeley. He worked with graduate students One of them was Bill Joy, subsequently went on to cofound Sun Microsystems. C shell, the vi editor, the Berkeley Fast File System, sendmail, etc. Under the name Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), a version of UNIX, including its source code, came to be widely distributed.

6. The GNU project

7. 1982 AT&T was permitted to market UNIX--- System III, System V, SVR4 In 1984, Richard Stallman, an exceptionally talented programmer working at MIT, set to work on creating a “free” UNIX implementation. Stallman’s outlook was a moral one. Emacs text editor, GCC (originally the GNU C compiler, GNU compiler collection, comprising compilers for C, C++, and other languages), the bash shell, and glibc (the GNU C 1990s, the GNU project had produced a system that was virtually complete, except for one important component: a working UNIX kernel library.

9. The Linux Kernel In 1991, Linus Torvalds, a student at the University of Helsinki, was inspired to write an operating system for his Intel 80386 PC. Torvalds developed a basic kernel that allowed him to compile and run various GNU programs October 5, 1991, Torvalds requested the help of other programmers Other programmers joined Torvalds in the development of Linux Linux is used to refer to the entire UNIX-like operating systems of which the Linux kernel forms a part

18. Standardization The portability problems: Many variations in UNIX and C implementations Strong pressure for standardization The C language was standardized in 1989 (C89), and a revised standard was produced in 1999 (C99). The first attempt to standardize the operating system interface (API) yielded (Portable Operating System Interfac) POSIX.1

22. UNIX/Linux directories ➲ / : Root of the tree. Where it starts. ➲ bin, sbin, usr/bin : software for the shells and most common Unix commands. ➲ dev: short for devices, holds the files necessary to operate peripherals such as printers and terminals. ➲ home : contains the home directories of users (/export/home on sun computers).

23. UNIX/Linux directories tmp : holds temporary files. var: contains files that vary in size; (Mail irectories, printer spool files, logs, etc.) etc: administrative files such as lists of user names and passwords. usr: Contains application programs lib: Contains libraries for programs proc: a pseudo-filesystem used as an interface to kernel data structures.
