FreeBSD architecture diagram

[Diomidis Spinellis]

I've tried to put together a rough diagram of the FreeBSD architecture.
It's based on the corresponding books by Maurice Bach and
McKusick/Neville-Neil, plus my personal categorization of manual pages
and some source code browsing. You can find it online at
https://dspinellis.github.io/unix-architecture/. I'd very much welcome
any feedback you may have regarding important errors or missing
elements. You can send feedback by email or through the GitHub repo
that contains the diagram's source code: by opening issues or through
pull requests. If there's interest I'd be happy to maintain it as a
project of our community.

Kind regards,

Diomidis

You are forgetting to mention Robert Watson, he is also a co-writer of the
book.

First of all, thank you for such a work, IMHO it is good and useful,
also for new users.

This is not an error report, but just a couple of suggestions.

1) Why don't you turn all the `vl' items inside the `hbox' in a
Computer Modern Typewriter (fixed-width) font? They can be more
readable and maybe even more recognizable, this way.
2) Another suggestion is about making another version of the pdf, with
more than one page, where the single categories are expanded: more
items can then be included, and (with the contribution of other users)
some descriptions can be written as well, both for the
category title and for the items themselves.

Kind regards,
Diomidis

Bye and thank you for your project!
