The semantics of each system call can be assigned process by process giving the user the right to decide which view of the system each process has to join. Each process can "see" a different file system structure, networking resources, processor, devices. Moreover some of the resources can be provided by the user him/herself, thus these resource can be private to the single process and are not known a priori by the system. Groups of processes can share the same view but this is just an optimization to share management methods. . For more information, see http://wiki.virtualsquare.org . UMView is a user-mode implementation of View-OS. Processes are run with a controlling daemon that captures all the system calls (at present using the ptrace() system call) and uses dynamically loadable modules to change their semantic. . This package contains the UMView controlling daemon and some modules, both for testing and for real use. Other modules are contained in separate packages because they depend on additional libraries.

UMView is a user-mode implementation of View-OS. Processes are run with a controlling daemon that captures all the system calls (at present using the ptrace() system call) and uses dynamically loadable modules to change their semantic. . This package contains headers and library needed to write and compile new UMView modules. For some simple module examples, you can take a look to the existing modules (expecially in the um_testmodule directory of the source tree).

UMView is a user-mode implementation of View-OS. Processes are run with a controlling daemon that captures all the system calls (at present using the ptrace() system call) and uses dynamically loadable modules to change their semantic. . This package contains the umnewlwipv6 module, a gateway to the LWIPv6 user-level networking library (see liblwipv6-2). It makes possible for processes inside UMView to use virtual network interfaces that are connected to the external world through a TUN/TAP device or a VDE switch.

UMView is a user-mode implementation of View-OS. Processes are run with a controlling daemon that captures all the system calls (at present using the ptrace() system call) and uses dynamically loadable modules to change their semantic. . This package contains a sub-module for umdev. umdev is contained in the main UMView package and allows virtualization of character and block devices. umdevtap creates a virtual TUN/TAP interface (i.e. /dev/net/tun). On the outer side, UMView opens a connection to a VDE switch.

UMView is a user-mode implementation of View-OS. Processes are run with a controlling daemon that captures all the system calls (at present using the ptrace() system call) and uses dynamically loadable modules to change their semantic. . This package contains (very experimental) modules that allow filesystem namespace mangling (as hiding some portions of the filesystem, creating COW subtrees and so on).
