About this title

Synopsis

An extended reference guide and glossary covering not only all UNIX commands but 3,000 actual examples for those commands—one for each variation. Features a unique organization with a built-in keyword dictionary, a cross-reference section for every command and other useful information.

From Library Journal

This book proves that there are more UNIX commands under the sun than grains of sand on a beach. Or at least 2000 or so. Like any good dictionary, Southerton and Perkins's effort is organized alphabetically for easy access. Each entry includes rich examples, and, since UNIX commands rarely stand alone, these examples provide additional clues to helping you use UNIX more efficiently. Each entry is also categorized for specific audiences-end users, script authors, power users, and system administrators. You'll recognize immediately which commands are appropriate for your UNIX level. Keyword and See also references help in digesting more obscure commands. Three appendixes on vi, emacs, and shell characters, along with an ASCII table and a keyword index, round out this excellent UNIX reference source.
