Pretty sure /proc was not a SunOS thing.

Yes. And I should know this as I communicated and met with him on several occasions when I
was developing /proc for Janus (Linux binary emulation) on Solaris x86.
So, I was defo wrong on this. /proc was done by Roger at AT&T (maybe USL). I recall
him telling me that he was not the original author though and that it came from PWB.
From
SVR3:
.so libs
If you mean shared libraries, SunOS had those. If it's more nuanced
than that, I'd defer to Gingell.
.so is a name introduced by SunOS-4
What Svr3 had, was shared libraries that have been installed in the kernel
during boot up into multi-user mode using a special program. In order to
manage this, you needed to have a global library manager that defined start
addresses for the load addresses of the libraries.
My bad again….there will probably be many more. It’s old age you see ;) I meant shared
libraries.
