The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

your welcome to explain further. I have the Stevens books on Unix
programming and there is no mention of exception handling.
That's a very good book, but it doesn't cover everything. Exceptions can
be thrown and caught in several dozen languages that run in UNIX-like
operating systems.
or the structure of the call stack.
That probably varies widely by architecture, etc.
I am sure there is source code debugging,
but it is all handled by the language compiler, not the OS like you
see in i5/OS or the .NET CLR.
There are many, many facilities that use different methods and
techniques. See ptrace, gdb, valgrind, etc. There are so many debugging
tools available that it would be a difficult task to even summarize the
main ones.
I don't know why it would be desirable for the operating system itself
to provide this functionality. The trend is actually in the opposite
direction.
