Chapter 1: The IRIX Operating System


This chapter provides a brief overview of the IRIX operating system, Silicon Graphics' implementation of the UNIX operating system. It describes IRIX compliance with standards, summarizes the features unique to IRIX (such as support for graphics hardware), briefly discusses writing device drivers (which run as part of the IRIX kernel), and lists the hierarchy of tools and libraries you can use when you write an IRIX application.
