In reply to the question of what is in the various System V "books"
I had the following on my shelf.
> User Reference Manual 307-109
Section 1 (commands) and 6 (games)
> Programmer Reference Manual 307-113
Section 2 (system calls), 3 (library), 4 (file formats)
and 5 (miscellany). Section 3 is subdived these days
> Programming Guide 307-103
Papers on C, C Libraries, Lint, Sdb, Fortran
Ratfor, EFL, Curses and Terminfo
> User Guide 307-100
I don't have this one.
> Shell Commands & Programming 307-123
I don't have this one
Also available (although not mentioned in the original question are)
> Administrator Reference Manual 307-111
Section 1M (commands that mostly reside in /etc)
and Section 7 (special files, including termio stuff)
and Section 8 (system maintenance procedures)
> Support Tools 307-108
Papers on make, sccs, m4, awk, ld, coff (common object
file format), bc, lex, yacc, rje, uucp.
> Editing Guide 307-126
Papers on ed, vi, sed, bfs
Mostly the "papers" are recycled Bell Labs memos rather than new
documentation.
