The services of certain operating
system functions are required many
times each second.
Under UNIX these functions are always
kept in the primary memory. This
resident portion of the memory is
called the UNIX kernel.
KERNEL
Most operating system functions are
needed only occasionally. These
include UNIX commands, utilities,
and most user written programs.
These are kept on the disk (secondary
storage) and are invoked only when
demanded by the user.
