Correct. Sort of. in SVR4 it was defo STREAMS based. But in earlier SVRx versions it was
the BSD stuff.

I am not sure on this
so I will agree ;)

I defo have this
one wrong. You are correct.

Yes, it came from Roger at
AT&T
Dynamic
linking extensions
NFS
RPC
XDR
From SVR3:
.so libs <=== What should this be?
I am not even sure whether SVr4
included
backwards compatibility for the SVr3
"installed" shared libraries.
revamped signals and trampoline code
+++++sigset() was not in SVr2, I believe
it was not available in svr3 as

I
am prety sure this was from AT&T albeit, it was probably Sun developed.

SVR3 defo had STREAMS.

But it was in SysV before SunOS-4. Much of Solaris IPC
came from the SysV code together with POSIX IPC and some extras….doors.
