They have to an extent. The /proc file system on Linux is directly inspired by plan 9 IIRC. Other things like network sockets never got that far and are more related to their BSD kin.
- cratermoon 1y agoThere's also /dev/tcp in Linux exec 5<>/dev/tcp/www.google.com/80 echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nhost: www.google.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n" >&5 cat <&5
- Zambyte 1y ago/dev/tcp does not exist in Linux. ls /dev/tcp It is an abstraction in GNU Bash.
- cratermoon 1y agoPardon, you're correct.

- pjmlp 1y agoNot at all, /proc comes from Solaris.
- WD-42 1y agoLooking into it we are both wrong. Plan 9 implemented /proc after 8th edition Unix. Solaris and Linux both implemented it at the same time in 1992.
