Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell 3rd Edition
Following the common-sense O'Reilly style, Mac OS X Tiger in
a Nutshell cuts through the chaff and gives you practical
details you can use every day. Everything you need to know
about the Unix side of Mac OS X has been systematically
documented in this book.
Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell offers a complete overview of
Mac
OS X Tiger (Version 10.4), focusing on the BSD Unix
layer. This book familiarizes you with over 300 of Tiger's
Unix commands, the Terminal application, file management,
system and network administration issues, and more.
Completely revised for Mac OS X Tiger, this book offers:
The most complete and thorough coverage of Mac OS X's Unix
commands you'll find anywhere (even in the system)
An overview of basic system and network administration
features, including coverage of NetInfo and Directory
Services
An introduction to using Mac OS X's Unix command-line
interface, the Terminal application
An overview of Mac OS X's Unix text editors, including vi
and Emacs
Information on shell syntax variables for Tiger's default
Unix shell, bash
Each command and option in this book's Unix Command
Reference has been painstakingly tested and checked against
Tiger; even the manpages that ship with Mac OS X can't
compete in accuracy. Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell is the
most comprehensive quick reference on the market and is a
must for any serious Mac user.
