Abstract

M. Ritchie In a new version of the Unix operating system, a flexible coroutine-based design replaces the traditional rigid connection between processes and terminals or networks. Processing modules may be inserted dynamically into the stream that connects a user’s program to a device. Programs may also connect directly to programs, providing interprocess communication.
