UNIX in a Nutshell 4th Edition
As an open operating system, Unix can be improved on by
anyone and everyone: individuals, companies, universities,
and more. As a result, the very nature of Unix has been
altered over the years by numerous extensions formulated in
an assortment of versions. Today, Unix encompasses
everything from Sun's Solaris to Apple's Mac
OS X and more
varieties of Linux than you can easily name.
The latest edition of this bestselling reference brings Unix
into the 21st century. It's been reworked to keep current
with the broader state of Unix in today's world and
highlight the strengths of this operating system in all its
various flavors.
Detailing all Unix commands and options, the informative
guide provides generous descriptions and examples that put
those commands in context. Here are some of the new
features you'll find in Unix in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition:
Solaris 10, the latest version of the SVR4-based operating
system, GNU/Linux, and Mac OS X
Bash shell (along with the 1988 and 1993 versions of ksh)
tsch shell (instead of the original Berkeley csh)
Package management programs, used for program installation
on popular GNU/Linux systems, Solaris and Mac OS X
GNU Emacs Version 21
Introduction to source code management systems
Concurrent versions system
Subversion version control system
GDB debugger
As Unix has progressed, certain commands that were once
critical have fallen into disuse. To that end, the book has
also dropped material that is no longer relevant, keeping it
taut and current.
If you're a Unix user or programmer, you'll recognize the
value of this complete, up-to-date Unix reference. With
chapter overviews, specific examples, and detailed command.
