Xwindows in unix
the question i have is why Xwindows(GUI) is not part of kernel level but part of user level in unix while in windows the GUI (Windows manager) it is part of kernel level.


For one thing is when GUI hangs it does not crash the whole system as in Windows

But windows avoids context switching.....

can i have some other points....

Thanking in advance

lv2soname

LV2SONAME(1)						      General Commands Manual						      LV2SONAME(1)

NAME

       lv2soname - script which can be used in your build system to translate a linker option into the soname

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the lv2soname command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

       lv2soname script can be used in your build system to translate a linker option (e.g. -lgtkmm2.4) into the soname  (e.g.	libgtkmm-2.4.so.1)
       for  the  shared  library  that ld will link to when given that command line option.  It will generate the RDF triples needed to tell hosts
       that the library with that soname must never be unloaded even after your plugin GUI library has been unloaded.

       e.g.  $ lv2soname '<http://my.gui>' '<http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core#requiredFeature>' -lgtkmm-2.4

       If the script for some reason can't determine the soname it will instead generate the RDF needed to tell the host to never unload  the  GUI
       library at all.

       However	pretty	much  the  same  thing	can be done by linking the plugin GUI using the -z nodelete linker option, which will keep the GUI
       library loaded even after the host runs dlclose(), requiring no extra support from the host.   So  lv2soname  is  deprecated  and  will	be
       removed in the next major version release.
