Currently, there is no document that lists and describes all 4.[23] extensions offered by A/UX. Lists are scattered and explained among various A/UX documents. It is difficult to list them individually. However, this should provide some of the Berkeley BSD 4.[23] features supported by A/UX:
- TCP/IP Berkeley-Style network support. It is called B-Net in A/UX. The
supported protocols include:
IP (Internet Protocol, RFC791)
UDP (User Datagram Protocol, RFC768)
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol, RFC793)
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol, RFC792)
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol, RFC826)
Telnet (RFC854)
SUBNET (RFC950)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol, RFC959)
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, RFC821)
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain)
All servers and service programs are in the /etc/servers and /etc/services files. The programming interface routines are in A/UX Programming Reference manual, sections 2N and 3N, like accept(2N), bind(2N), connect(2N), getsocketname(2N), getsocketopt(2N), listen(2N), recv(2N), select(2N), send(2N), socket(2N), and so on.
- Berkeley-Style 4.[23] signals and system calls, like sigblock(2),
sigpause(2), sigsetmask(2), sigstack(2), sigvec(2), killpg(2), and so on.
- Berkeley 4.[23] utility programs are in the /usr/ucb directory.
- C shell
- Berkeley-Style dump.BSD, rdump, restore, rrestore utilities.
- Termcap database and text editors, like vi and ex.
- Other utilities, like symbolic link, symbolic debugger, printenv, and so
on.
Note that STREAMS is not Berkeley; it belongs to System V.3.
