| | Unix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unix or UNIX is a computer operating system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group of ATandT Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy. | | | The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter, hierarchical file system, treating devices and certain types of inter-process communication as files, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and for the Unix philosophy. | | | Early Unix developers were important in bringing the theory of software modularity and re-use into engineering practice. |

| | UNIX Manual Introduction |
| | UNIX was designed with developers in mind: it is set up for interactive use and it enables users to easily build tools (system programs). | | | This manual is intended to provide Social Science Computing users with concise information about the SSC UNIX environment. | | | The UNIX operating system controls the basic functionality of the computer system. |

| | Note that Unix System V uses a similar numbering scheme, except section 4 is file formats, section 5 is miscellany and section 7 is special files. | | | The UNIX Programmer's Manual was first published on November 3, 1971. | | | Almost all substantial UNIX and Unix-like operating systems have extensive documentation known as man pages (short for "manual pages"). |
