Unix (officially trademarked as UNIX, sometimes also written as Unix with small caps) is a computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs, including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, Douglas McIlroy, and Joe Ossanna. Today's Unix systems are split into various branches, developed over time by AT&T as well as various commercial vendors and non-profit organizations. The Open Group, an industry standards consortium, owns the “Unix” trademark. Only systems fully compliant with and certified according to the Single UNIX Specification are qualified to use the trademark; others may be called "Unix system-like" or "Unix-like" (though the Open Group disapproves of this term). However, the term "Unix" is often used informally to denote any operating system that closely resembles the trademarked system. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the influence of Unix in academic circles led to large-scale adoption of Unix (particularly of the BSD variant, originating from the University of California, Berkeley) by commercial startups, the most notable of which are Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. Today, in addition to certified Unix systems such as those already mentioned, Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and BSD descendants (FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD) are commonly encountered. The term "traditional Unix" may be used to describe a Unix or an operating system that has the characteristics of either Version 7 Unix or UNIX System V. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the advantage of the Unix/Linux system compared to other operating systems? Q. Is there a advantage of a Unix/Linux system compared to other operating systems? That is, its structure and ability for large systems such as the ware house or mega databases? What is the advantage of the Unix/Linux system compared to other operating systems? I mean, why do big systems use Unix? Asked by Forward - Sun Jun 7 03:50:31 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Any system stemming from the Unix architecture will be more secure and stable than "the other guys". If your keeping a mega database then security and stability should be your top priority and this is what these Unix based systems offer. Every OS has it's faults and the only real fault I've seen with Linux/Unix is the learning curve when moving from one of "the other guys". Though, that's not really their fault now is it?

Q. For example, I want to create a void function, then put it into a separate object file. (.o) I want to have the main file as .c, then combine the main file and the object file into one .exe file in unix. How would I do this?

On *nix platforms you usually compile programs with a makefile. If you are unfamiliar with makefiles hit Google to learn all you ever wanted to know about them. Here is a very short one: --- CORE = core.o ABOUT = about.o LIBS = libstdc+ program = test objects = $(CORE) $(ABOUT) .SUFFIXES: .o .cpp .cpp.o : gcc -c -o $@ $< all: test about test: $(PROGRAM) $(PROGRAM): ${OBJECTS} gcc -o $(PROGRAM) $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) --- Now for the source members... about.hpp #ifndef ABOUT_HPP #define ABOUT_HPP extern "C"{ void display_dialog(char* version=0); } #endif There's nothing special about the "about.cpp" file, it just contains that display_dialog() function.
