- o Samuel J. Leffler, Marshall K. McKusick, Michael J. Karels,
- John S. Quarterman. The Design and Implementation of the
- 4.3 BSD UNIX Operating System. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley,
- 1989. ISBN 0-201-06196-1.
-
- Designed to be read in parallel with op system source code.
-
- Also, the book seems somewhat dense at first -- it helped me
- to have quick read of the Maurice J. Bach book (The Design of
- the [AT&T] UNIX Operating System 0-13-201799-7) first.
-
- o Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass. UNIX System
- Administration Handbook. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice
- Hall, 1989. ISBN 0-13-933441-6.
-
- Covers AT&T and BSD system management.
-
- o Mohamed el Lozy. Editing in a UNIX Environment: The vi/ex
- Editor. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1985. ISBN
- 0-13-235599-X.
-
- Covers the standard system editor for 386BSD.
-
- o John H. Crawford, Patrick P. Gelsinger. Programming the 80386.
- San Franscisco, CA: Sybex, 1987. ISBN 0-89588-381-3.
-
- Good coverage of 80386/80387 instructions & programming techniques.
-
- o O'Reilly & Associates Books (contact: nuts@ora.uu.net)
-
- o X Window System User's Guide (essential if new to X11)
- o EMACS (covers far more flexible editor than standard ex/vi)
-
- o Managing NIS/NFS (essential if setting up NFS [or NIS])
- (this book was also helpfull in diagnosing network problems)
-
- o Xlib Programming Manual (usefull if programming X11)
- o Xlib Reference Manual (you could use online pages instead)
- o X Tookkit Programmer's Guide (usefull if programming X11/Xtk)
- o X Toolkit Reference Manual (you could use online pages instead)
-
- o System Administration (Nemeth was more usefull to me)
- o UNIX Performance Tuning (better for SYSV - usefull for BSD)
- o UNIX System Security (there are better books on the market)
-
- o RPC for Power UNIX Users (covers RPC libraries and utilities)
-
- o W. Richard Stevens. UNIX Network Programming. Englewood Cliffs,
- NJ: Prentice Hall, 1990. ISBN 0-13-949876-1.
-
- Good introduction to AT&T & BSD system and network programming.
-
- I've skimmed what looks like another excellent book on 'Advanced
- UNIX Programming' by the same author -- released last few months.
-
- o George Pajari. Writing UNIX Device Drivers. Reading, MA:
- Addison-Wesley, 1991. ISBN 0-201-52374-4.
-
- This book is strictly oriented to AT&T Device Driver writing --
- but the conceptual coverage and debugging advice is potentially
- usefull to BSD driver developers. There is also another book on
- the market based on MASSCOMP (I think) systems which contains an
- brief appendix describing differences betweek AT&T & BSD drivers.
-
- o The Waite Group -- basic books on C language programming
-
- o Microsoft C Programming for the IBM 0-672-22515-8
- o Microsoft C Bible 0-672-22620-0
