Previous: Brief sketch
The abstract machine implemented by the ECS system consisted of the
following 8 types of objects, and about 100 actions which could be
performed on them:
- ECS files
- Event channels
- Processes
- C-lists
- Capability-creating-authorizations
- Operations
- Class codes
- Allocation blocks
The state of each existing object was represented in some region, or
regions, of ECS.
The following will describe each type of object, and the kinds of
actions available. Chapter 8 will give a more detailed description of
the representation.
