Two good books on UNIX internals (what goes on in the kernel) are:
The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System,
by Leffler, McKusick, Karels, and Quarterman
published by Addison-Wesley
focuses on BSD UNIX
The Design of the UNIX Operating System
by M. Bach
published by Prentice-Hall
focuses on System V UNIX
Two good books on UNIX programming (how the programmer views the kernel) is:
Advanced UNIX Programming
by M. Rochkind
published by Prentice-Hall
focuses on System V and Version 7 UNIX
The UNIX Programming Environment
by Kernighan and Pike
published by Prentice-Hall
covers a wide range of UNIX topics, mainly from the Version 7
point of view, including a section on system calls
The only reasonable book I have found that discusses BSD UNIX programming
(sockets, networking, etc.) is:
An Introduction Berkeley UNIX
by P. Wang
published by Wadsworth
Anyone know of any other good UNIX books?
