Accessing remote special files in a distributed computing environment
J. Lilienkamp, B.J. Walker, R. Silva · 2002
This paper presents a general design for providing access to remote devices, pipes, and FIFOs, within a distributed computing environment. Though the design is presented in terms of SVR4 and Sun ONC, it is sufficiently general to be built upon almost any underlying Unix system and distribution architecture. The design is applicable to all types of devices, and special attention is given to STREAMS oriented devices.>
