The Design of the Unix Operating System by Maurice J BachWhat is an operating system? An operating system is a layer of software which takes care of technical aspects of a computer's operation. It shields the user of the machine from the low-level details of the machine's operation and provides frequently needed facilities. There is no universal definition of what an operating system consists of. You can think of it as being the software which is already installed on a machine, before you add anything of your own. Normally the operating system has a number of key elements: i a technical layer of software for driving the hardware of the computer, like disk drives, the keyboard and the screen; ii a filesystem which provides a way of organizing files logically, and iii a simple command language which enables users to run their own programs and to manipulate their files in a simple way. Some operating systems also provide text editors, compilers, debuggers and a variety of other tools.

It is based on the experience of leading developers of the Unix operating system. Early Unix developers were important in bringing the concepts of modularity and reusability into software engineering practice, spawning a ' software tools ' movement. Over time, the leading developers of Unix and programs that ran on it established a set of cultural norms for developing software; these norms became as important and influential as the technology of Unix itself; this has been termed the 'Unix philosophy.
The Unix philosophy emphasizes building simple, short, clear, modular, and extensible code that can be easily maintained and repurposed by developers other than its creators. The Unix philosophy favors composability as opposed to monolithic design. It was later summarized by Peter H.
