+The '''Lions book''', so named as it was written by [[John Lions]], was the first work to document how the [[UNIX]] [[kernel]] works. It's based on [[UNIX Sixth Edition]], and includes the complete [[source code]] for the kernel.
 It was out-of-print for a long time, from shortly after it first appeared in 1976, after AT+T cracked down on it to protect their UNIX intellectual property. During this period, it became probably the most widely circulated item of ''samizdat'' in the West. It is now finally available again.
