BSD licenses

BSD licenses are a family of permissive free software licenses, imposing minimal restrictions on the use and distribution of covered software.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and BSD licenses

C (programming language)

C (pronounced – like the letter c) is a general-purpose programming language.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and C (programming language)

Device driver

In the context of an operating system, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and Device driver

DragonFly BSD

DragonFly BSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system forked from FreeBSD 4.8.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and DragonFly BSD

File system

In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and File system

Filesystem in Userspace

Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a software interface for Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems that lets non-privileged users create their own file systems without editing kernel code.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and Filesystem in Userspace

Kernel (operating system)

The kernel is a computer program at the core of a computer's operating system and generally has complete control over everything in the system.

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and Kernel (operating system)

NetBSD

NetBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system based on the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

See PUFFS (NetBSD) and NetBSD

User space and kernel space

A modern computer operating system usually uses virtual memory to provide separate address spaces, or separate regions of a single address space, called user space and kernel space.
