+.sh "Kernel primitives
+.PP
+The facilities available to a UNIX user process are logically
+divided into two parts: kernel facilities directly implemented by
+UNIX code running in the operating system, and system facilities
+implemented either by the system, or in cooperation with a
+\fIserver process\fP. 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.
