The ed text editor was one of the first three key elements of the Unix operating system—assembler, editor, and shell—developed by Ken Thompson in August 1969 on a PDP-7 at AT&T Bell Labs. [2] Many features of ed came from the qed text editor developed at Thompson's alma mater University of California, Berkeley. [4]
Early variants included egrep and fgrep, introduced in Version 7 Unix. [10] The egrep variant supports an extended regular expression syntax added by Alfred Aho after Ken Thompson's original regular expression implementation. [12] The "fgrep" variant searches for any of a list of fixed strings using the Aho–Corasick string matching algorithm ...
Ken Thompson (left) and Dennis Ritchie (right), creators of the Unix operating system. After AT&T had dropped out of the Multics project, the Unix operating system was conceived and implemented by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie (both of AT&T Bell Laboratories) in 1969 and first released in 1970.
Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie DEC PDP-7. In 1969, programmer Ken Thompson worked for Bell Labs on the Multics operating system on a GE 645 mainframe. During his work, Thompson developed Space Travel on the system. Multics was a collaborative project between several institutions for an interactive, multi-user operating system that provided ...
The concept of pipelines was championed by Douglas McIlroy at Unix's ancestral home of Bell Labs, during the development of Unix, shaping its toolbox philosophy. [4] [5] His ideas were implemented in 1973 when ("in one feverish night", wrote McIlroy) Ken Thompson added the pipe() system call and pipes to the shell and several utilities in ...
