From SunOS:
/proc
Pretty sure /proc was not a SunOS thing.
and I believe that Roger Faulkner did come from AT&T
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.
The original implementation was done by Tom Killian for 8th Edition. I
think Roger used that as inspiration, not sure about the code.
