UNIX Technical Manual Unix in a Nutshell, 4th Edition English PDF text version

Unix in a NutshellIt also covers many important, industry-standard open source tools
This book also fully discusses commonly used shells (bash, ksh and tcsh) and important elements such as regular expressions expressions, and even older tools like sed, awk, and vi.
Unix is not a huge thing: it is a complex, and the Unix Technical Manual is the book that brings it all together.

What exactly is unix? The original unix source code is owned by sco, the registered trademark of unix is owned by open group, and the leading imitation unix systems are gnu/linux, mac os x and solaris. Many of the commands and options included with these versions overlap, but there are still many differences.
Confused? Don’t enter rm-rf yet. In a world where there are currently no supporters of the Unix standard, the Fourth Edition of the Unix Technical Manual attempts to define Unix. It extracts common parts from leading Unix-like operating systems, so you can easily find commands that work everywhere. Moreover, it displays the most important, system-specific commands and options, so you can work expertly on your favorite version of Unix.
This book also covers many important, industry-standard open source tools that are part of Unix, even if they are not shipped with the operating system. These tools include cvs, subversion, gnu make, and gdb, as well as smaller tools such as curl and wget. In addition, this book also fully discusses commonly used shells (bash, ksh, and tcsh) and important elements such as regular expressions, as well as old tools such as sed, awk, and vi.
If you are overwhelmed by the variety of Unix systems, or if you typically work with one or more Unix systems, you will need to use this book every day. Unix is not one huge thing: it is a complex, and The Unix Technical Manual is the book that brings it all together.
