+### Device Management
+
+A process may need several resources to execute
+
+* main memory
+* disk drives
+* access to files
+* `request()`
+* `release()`
+
+Sometimes I/O devices are identified by special file names, directory placement, or file attributes.
+
+### Information Maintenance
+
+* `dump()`
+* the `trace` program lists each system call as it is executed.
+
+Event microprocessors provide a CPU mode known as single step, in which a trap is executed by the CPU after every instruction.
+Many operating systems provide a time profile of a program to indicate the amount of time that the program executes at a particular location
+or set of locations.
+
+The kernel keeps information about all its processes, and system calls are used to access this information.
