These kernel facilities are described in +this section 1. +.PP +The facilities implemented in the kernel are those which define the +\fIUNIX virtual machine\fP in which each process runs. +Like many real machines, this virtual machine has memory management hardware, +an interrupt facility, timers and counters. The UNIX +virtual machine also allows access to files and other objects through a set of +\fIdescriptors\fP. Each descriptor resembles a device controller, +and supports a set of operations. Like devices on real machines, some +of which are internal to the machine and some of which are external, +parts of the descriptor machinery are built-in to the operating system, while +other parts are often implemented in server processes on other machines. +The facilities provided through the descriptor machinery are described in +section 2. +.ds ss 2 |
