+.sh "System facilities
+This section discusses the system facilities that
+are not considered part of the kernel.
+.PP
+The system abstractions described are:
+.IP "Directory contexts
+.br
+A directory context is a position in the UNIX file system name
+space. Operations on files and other named objects in a file system are
+always specified relative to such a context.
+.IP "Files
+.br
+Files are used to store uninterpreted sequence of bytes on which
+random access \fIreads\fP and \fIwrites\fP may occur.
+Pages from files may also be mapped into process address space.\(dg
+A directory may be read as a file.
+.FS
+\(dg Support for mapping files is not included in the 4.3 release.
+.FE
+.IP "Communications domains
+.br
+A communications domain represents
+an interprocess communications environment, such as the communications
+facilities of the UNIX system,
+communications in the INTERNET, or the resource sharing protocols
+and access rights of a resource sharing system on a local network.
+.IP "Sockets
+.br
+A socket is an endpoint of communication and the focal
+point for IPC in a communications domain. Sockets may be created in pairs,
+or given names and used to rendezvous with other sockets
+in a communications domain, accepting connections from these
+sockets or exchanging messages with them. These operations model
+a labeled or unlabeled communications graph, and can be used in a
+wide variety of communications domains. Sockets can have different
+\fItypes\fP\| to provide different semantics of communication,
+increasing the flexibility of the model.
+.IP "Terminals and other devices
+.br
+Devices include
+terminals, providing input editing and interrupt generation
+and output flow control and editing, magnetic tapes,
+disks and other peripherals. They often support the generic
+\fIread\fP and \fIwrite\fP operations as well as a number of \fIioctl\fP\|s.
+.IP "Processes
+.br
+Process descriptors provide facilities for control and debugging of
+other processes.
