Find UNIX commands at a glance with the Hip Pocket Guide to UNIX�. There are 96 commands listed alphabetically for quick and easy reference as well as brief descriptions, syntax summaries, real-world examples, and characteristics for each. In addition to being a handy resource, Hip Pocket Guide to UNIX is also a valuable learning aid for budding users. The book includes an overview of UNIX basics, a detailed glossary of terms, and suggested print and online resources.

Review

After an initial 30 pages of Unix basics, such as introductions to the shell and kernel, Hip Pocket Guide to Unix launches into a in-depth glossary of every Unix command. The terms are organized alphabetically, with each command receiving a page or two of explanation and examples. Because it's spiral-bound and pocket-sized, the reader is able to type with both hands while glancing at the book.

The drawback to the Hip Pocket Guide to Unix lies, paradoxically, in the book's strength: the alphabetical layout of commands. If you're unsure of what command will--for example--stop a runaway process, you'd probably spend some time looking through the abbreviated list until you got to "kill." But the alphabetized order of commands also makes it a snap to review commands with a quick page toss and get a grasp on new ones while flipping through the book. For those readers with a general idea of how Unix works, Hip Pocket Guide to Unix provides an expedient alternative to scanning many pages. --Jennifer Buckendorff
