Synopsis

The bestselling, most informative Unix reference book is now more complete and up to date. Not a scaled-down quick reference of common commands, UNIX in a Nutshell is a complete reference containing all commands and options, along with generous descriptions and examples that put the commands in context. For all but the thorniest Unix problems, this one reference should be all the documentation you need. Thoroughly covering System V Release 4 and Solaris 7, the third edition of UNIX in a Nutshell features 60 new commands, expanded Korn shell documentation, an expanded text editing section with the latest Emacs information, and a comprehensive Unix bibliography. If you currently use Unix SVR4, or if you're a Solaris user, you'll want this book. UNIX in a Nutshell is the most comprehensive quick reference on the market, a must for any Unix user.
