About

Description

This is a fork of Russ Cox’s drawterm and plan9front’s drawterm that listens for incoming rcpu requests, instead of making one itself. It has rc with enough builtins that run inside the kernel for a typical session

Installation

To build on Unix, run CONF=unix make.

To build on Solaris using Sun cc, run CONF=sun make.

To build on Windows, you can’t use Visual C. Use Mingw on cygwin.

To build on Mac OS X, run CONF=osx-cocoa make.

Status

This is about 90% of the way there. See TODO for more information. - mount is erroring when attempting to mount a client fd - proc doesn’t exist on all systems, devproc would be useful in at least a limited scope inside the kernel

Future

The longer term goal is to interact with X11/Wayland/macOS/Windows graphical programs, from a plan9front system, with access to a proper namespace on the Unix side.

Limitations, etc
