From: POSTMASTER@TCSVM To: PAAAAAR@CCS.CSUSCC.CALSTATE.EDU I'm looking for pointers to intro Berkley UNIX systems programming books. All of the books that I have seen so far are for System V. Any suggestions would be welcome. Ed Stuart (rs3r+@andrew.cmu.edu) ===== Reply from Richard Botting =========================== You could do worse than look into "An Intro to BERKELEY UNIX" by Paul Wang, Pub: Wadsworth, Belmont, CA. The most relevant chapters being 6. Writing Shell Scripts 8. UNIX Programming in C 9. UNIX System Programming 11. Program Maintenance ----actually this should be called 'make' Also Appendices: A.9 System Calls A.10. Signals A.11 Standard C Library A.12. Std IO Library A.13 Internetwork Library Altogether - 12 chapters and 15 (fifteen) appendices, bibliography, Index. 512 pages. Warning - I haven't used it much since my UNIX is kinda neolythic compared to that used in this book.
