The kernel isn't called "uts" (although Amdahl has their own Unix variant for the mainframe that's called UTS, but I don't know that there's a connection). However, "uts" is the directory in which the kernel source is contained. I think it once stood for "Unix Time-sharing System". I think that directory name was used fairly far back on the System V source lineage, before SVR4, anyway. But I think my old v7 source has /usr/src containing just commands and libs, and /usr/sys (possibly as a separate filesystem - disks were _small_ back then!) holding the kernel source. I'd guess that directory first appeared somewhere after v7 (1979) and around or before SVR2 (1984). In other words, while quite a bit has been rewritten, refactored, and rearranged, some things about how the kernel source code is arranged go back a _long_ way. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
