Amazing UNIX Features
Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie are main two developers who developed UNIX operating system in 1970. This operating system is mostly use for micro computer to mainframe computing machines because it provide better and fast platform to perform any task. UNIX comes with main two types system V and BSD that is use for both commercial and open source. It is mostly famous due to its various new features such as it is multi-user system so many user can work on this single platform, it is also multi-tasking operating system simultaneous various tasks are performed by many user. Security and networking features is more enhanced in this operating system.
Portability is one of best feature of UNIX operating system. It is mostly useful for developers and programmers. It is platform independence so whatever we write code in any machine can be easily read, understand and compiled on another machine. It does not create any effect which is also called as machine independence operating system. It main use is to hide all details from users and helpful to install and run any application on this operating system. Multi users system is not only allow group of users to perform tasks at the same time but also sharing system resources and files, data whenever it needed to any user. This operating system mainly use of hierarchical file structure to store directories and files into single unit that is helpful to maintain this files easily and also brings flexibility in it.
UNIX operating system provide simple user interface that is helpful to provide necessary service and resources to users whenever needed. This simple user interface is called as shell. It is easy to understand hardware configuration using shell which is completed eliminates complex structure of your computer configuration. UNIX’s pipe and filters command allow to users and many programmer to deal with complex programming code and covert it simple program. This operating system also contains 200 useful programs that are useful for many applications. You can develop many new utilities from previous utilities.
UNIX operating system is perfectly suit for software development because it support to multi-user, multiprogramming, multitasking features. As more than one user can access system at same time and more than one program is process by many users help to reduce time and lots of efforts of programmers. Various tasks of software development like editing, coding, testing and maintenance etc. provided by this operating system. This operating system provides best security to users protecting their data from unauthorized access and misuse. Due to shell component which provide single user interface, every user has its own user name and password to access the system, therefore any other user is not able to read or write file or access any data.
