Synopsis Design Of The Unix Operating System is the most wide-ranging book to explain the complicated workings of the UNIX System V kernel--the internal algorithms, the structures that shape the foundation of the UNIX operating system, and their association to the programming interface. System programmers will achieve a better understanding of how the kernel works and will be able to evaluate algorithms used in the UNIX system to algorithms used in other operating systems. Through this book, programmers on UNIX systems will achieve a deeper understanding of how their programs cooperate with the system and can thereby code more resourceful programs.
This book is provided with a table of contents as follows:
