1 .SH "DEC OSF/1 NOTES"
2 Original author was Anthony Baxter, <anthony@aaii.oz.au>.
3 Derived originally from m_ultrix, by David S. Comay <dsc@seismo.css.gov>,
4 although by now there is hardly any of the code from m_ultrix left.
5 Helped a lot by having the source for syd(1), by Claus Kalle, and
6 from several people at DEC who helped with providing information on
7 some of the less-documented bits of the kernel interface.
8 Patches from Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
10 Theory of operation:
11 Use Mach calls to build up a structure that contains all the sorts
12 of stuff normally found in a struct proc in a BSD system. Then
13 everything else uses this structure. This has major performance wins,
14 and also should work for future versions of the O/S.
