Documents for Unix Sixth Edition

These Documents were compiled from the Unix V6 Distribution, which you can get from here.

The documentation files were processed by the groff program suite to produce postscript files. I needed to apply amazingly small changes to some files to make groff produce an output similar to what I think the original papers looked like.

Unix Programmer's Manual

• Introduction Contains valuable hints for the novice.
• I. Commands
• II. System Calls
• III. Subroutines
• IV. Special Files
• V. File Formats and Conventions

Since its quite cumbersome to download and print the manual pages, I provided an html version of them as well.
