Unix philosophy--semaphores, message passing

[Stephen Dyer]

Note that UNIX System V has semaphores, message passing, and shared
memory implemented as system call primitives.  We have just received
our tapes and are wading through the masses of documentation, so I
can't yet judge the facilities critically.  Still, it seems that if
there is anything resembling a "standard" this is (will be) it.
