Yep, you heard it, this book has survived since 1997 via the photocopier
underground. Well SCO decided it is now safe for us to see the 6th ed.
Kernel source. :-)
This is a really nice small (274 pages) book on UNIX architecture.
It "reads" like K&R, has good straightforward explantions and nice diagrams
of structures and things, w/o unnessiary bulk. It covers both BSD and sysV.
I wish this had been the textbook for my undergrad OS class rather
than Tannenbam.

Not fixed: stale, misformatted copy of <dirent.h>. I will be cleaning
up the dirent.h and dir.h headers soon (ufs stuff needs to be separated
better), so don't change the man page yet.
quoted individually. Quoting them all together sort of worked, except
for scsreq_build(), the long arg list was chopped near column 80, to
no avail since the closing parentheses was put on new line by itself.
of setting it (compiled into vfs_conf.c), but we have a dynamic system
in place. This could probably be better done via a runtime configure
flag in the VFS_SET() VFS declaration, perhaps VFCF_LOCAL, and have the
VFS code propagate this down into MNT_LOCAL at mount time. The other FS's
would need to be updated, havinf UFS and MSDOSFS filesystems without
MNT_LOCAL breaks a few things.. the man page rebuild scans for local
filesystems and currently fails, I suspect that other tools like find
and tar with their "local filesystem only" modes might be affected.
Stick 4 more, twin channel only, instructions behind

aic7xxx_asm.c:
Add the -O options which allows the specification of which options
to include in a program listing. This makes it possible to easily
determine the address of any instruction in the program across
different hardware/option configurations. Updated usage() as well.
Cleanup of #ifdef's for LOGIN_CAP.
Fixed bug in empty shell (closes PR#2550).
Refused root logins now displays standard "Login incorrect" and
exhibits identical backoff behaviour to a failed login.
Cleaned up logging of refused logins.
Use #defines for login retries and backoff. Also implemented
definable variables if LOGIN_CAP is defined, with
"login-retries" and "login-backoff" as capabilities
in the default class (closes PR#2805).
TERM from previous environment is no longer truncated.
