HP-UX: implementation of UNIX on the HP 900 series 500 computer systems

S.W.Y. Wang, Joakim Lindberg, M.V. Hetrick, M.L. Connor

Abstract

An implementation of the UNIX operating system kernel has been layered on top of an existing operating system kernel (SUN) for the HP 9000 series 500 computer systems. The mapping of UNIX functional requirements onto the capabilities of the underlying operating system is discussed in the article, along with the implementation of UNIX commands and libraries. These pieces of UNIX, along with other extensions added by HP, make up the HP-UX operating system.
