YABL (Yet Another Book List)

[Mitch Wright]

Since there has been yet another "what book ...." thread, it's time Yet
Another Book List to be posted.  The list has changed slightly (yes! again)
but I think it is for the better (unless I hear a better suggestion).
The format has changed to make it darn right trivial to convert to bib format
or any other for that matter.  I have also put the list into alphabetical
order. 

For complaints, kudos, suggestions, corrections, additions, donations, ...

	Introductory level book, extremely basic and easy reading.  I read
	this on a plane trip between Newark, NJ and Columbus, OH before I ever
	worked seriously with UNIX.  Unlike, Rebecca Thomas and Jean Yates
	Tutorial style book this one does not require you to be sitting down
	in front of a crt in order to derive benefit from it.

COMMENTS
	Rochkind is a former Bell Labs UNIX guru who wrote SCCS back in the
	mid 70's.  This book is exactly what the title states, basically an
	extremely thorough treatment of programming using the UNIX System
	Call Interface.  System V, System III, V7, 4.2 BSD, and Xenix are
	all discussed.  The system calls are organized functionally into
	chapters that cover file i/o, terminal i/o, process control,
	interprocess communication, and miscellaneous calls.  The opening
	chapter is an overvview of fundamental concepts of UNIX.  Anytime
	I have a question on the usage of system calls I consult this book.
	The only problem with it is that it needs to be updated per
	System V Rel 3, 4.3 BSD and the efforts of Sun and AT&T to bring
	SunOS and System V together as well as the efforts in the UNIX 386
	world.

	An excellent book on C.  It is not really an introductory level book,

SUGGESTED_BY: Mitch Wright <mitch at hq.af.mil>
COMMENTS
	These are the primary people who are responsible for 4.3 BSD.

	--From back cover--
	This book is the first authoritative description of the design and
	implementation  of the research version of the UNIX System developed
	at the University of California at Berkeley.  It covers the INTERNAL
	structure of the 4.3BSD system and the concetps, data structures, and
	algorithms used in implementing the system facilites.  The book also
	includes a chaper on the implementation of TCP/IP -- a networking
	protocol suite widely implemented throughout the world.

	Both philosophical and design issues of 4.3BSD are discussed, as well
	as details of the actual implementation.  In most cases, the
	discussion starts at the system-call level and descends from the
	interface to the kernel down to the hardware itself.  The kernel
	includes system facilities such as process management, memory
	management, the I/O system, the filesystem, the socket IPC mechanism,
	and network-protocol implementations. 

	The Design and Implemenation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System is an 
	in-depth study of a contemporary operating system.  This book assumes
	that the reader understands basic operating-system terminology and has
	some familiarity with any version of the UNIX System and with the C
	programming language. Therefore, this book is suitable for
	operating-system implementors, systems programmers, and UNIX
	application developers.

	This is a useful book.  Portability is one aspect of programming in C.
	Efficiency is the other.  Many use C because it allows them the
	freedom to tie the programs down to the hardware in order to run
	efficiently. This book is an excellent guide and when combined with
	Jon Bentley's book on writting efficient programs gives one an
	excellent background in measuring programs and fine tuning them.

	-- From back of book
	This comprehensive book begins with a discussion of the TCP/IP

	provided and the history of their development.

	The remainder of the book looks at the architecture of the Internet,
	the TCP/IP technology, and the applications that use it in more
	detail.  It discusses the fundamentals of protocols like TCP/IP as
	well as showing how they fit into the internet.  In additon to
	providing details, the book highlights the general principles
	underlying network protocols, and explains why the TCP/IP protocols
	adapt easily to so many underlying network technologies.  Readers will
	find a brief summary of the network hardware used throughout the
	Internet that focuses on the features of each technology that are of
	primary importance to an Internet architect.

KEYWORDS: Introduction, Overview
COMMENTS
        - A comprehensive overview of UNIX.  Major sections are:

	  UNIX in Time - Usual trash plus history of user groups,
		universities, with a comprehensive "who's who" in
		UNIX history.  Present & Future deals with where
		UNIX is now and where its going - companies,
		standards and dialects are treated at length.

	  UNIX Information - How people really learn about UNIX.
		Discussion of books, magazines, conferences, and, of
		course,	source code.

	  Inside UNIX - In-depth descriptions of UNIX from three
		different perspectives - user, programmer and
		adminstrator.

          Outside UNIX - Third-party stuff.  Discussions of how UNIX
		has prospered/withered in face of real-world problems.
		Underground - archives, USENET, public access UNIX,
		GNU, MINIX, public-domain and/or free software, etc.

          This book is quite unusual, not only because of its scope, but
          because it prints things that have never appeared in print (for one
          reason or another) - things that most people don't realize or find
          until years after they have used UNIX.  It is essentially a
          "reading between the lines" of all the other UNIX manuals, books
          and magazines.  Lastly, "Life With UNIX" is chock full of amusing
          UNIX stories and anecdotes, all designed to provide you with key
          insights into why UNIX is the way it is.  "Life with UNIX" is a
          must book for UNIX beginners to UNIX gurus.

	Tom Plum is the Vice Chair of the ANSI X3J11 committee, so who better
	to write this book than he?  However, as with any of the other C books
	that treat the ANSI C Standard, it does not cover the Standard in it's
	final form due to the fact that it has yet to be adopted.  However,
	the price is about $10, so it makes a good pickup to keep informed
	about the standard and how it differs from K&R C.

	** From the back jacket:

	Portable C Software is designed for professional programmers and
	students who want to write portable C code between System V
	implementations, POSIX, MS DOS, and other operating systems.

	Assuming a working knowledge of C, this book addresses and rates
	each feature of the C software environment.  Shell commands, system
	calls, external variables, and macros are discussed and examined
	in detail.

	The author provides an advanced introduction to C, describes how
	best to write portable software, examines what not to do, discusses
	common mistakes, and includes an invaluable portability reference
	manual.  In this extensive manual, the author rates the portability
	of the following

	   o	subroutines available in C libraries
	   o	operating system calls
	   o	header include files
	   o	predefined variables in the C library
	   o	UNIX(R) system shell commands

	Portable C Software offers concise, current coverage of C, and
	will be an important reference for anyone who writes C programs.

	Of the nearly 400 pages, about 250 are reference material.  Some of it 
	is fairly detailed.  If you find any errors, or have any suggestions
	for the next edition, please drop me a note at

	The language used is RATFOR but it looks enough like C
	to be used by anyone who knows or is learning C.
	The book purports to contain generic examples that might
	be on any system; the reader will recognise many similarities
	to UNIX.
	Several UNIX-like commands and features are discussed in
	detail. Many UNIX design considerations and philosophies
	are explained.

	Reviewers said:
		"You're a pair of lunatics!" -- James Gosling, Sun Micro
		"Good Grief!" -- Ken Greer, Elan Computer Group, Inc.
		"Three Hundred Pages on TBL?!?" -- Prof. Powell, U. Minn

	I (S.B.Bassett) rather agree, but I wish there were more lunatics like
	these two, who would do a thorough job of documenting the workings of
	various cryptic, arcane, and downright quirky UNIX utilities for the
	benefit of those of us without source . . .

	I actually enjoyed reading this -- Henry sent me a complimentary copy
	in the hopes that I would review it here (thanks, Henry, I did), and I
	figured out why I had so much trouble with 'tbl' on a former job -- I'd
	have paid several times the price for a copy of this 2 years ago.  Too
	bad I'm not doing tech writing any more . . . ;^)

COMMENTS
	I own this book, but I rarely crack it open.  I guess the main reason
	is that I am still a Bourne-again shell user.  For years I worked with
	a variety of systems where one might find csh and/or ksh.  However,
	/bin/sh was the only common denominator.  I find that most often I
	refer to Kernighan and Pike for shell programming questions.  However,
	they don't address the C Shell (csh) or Korn Shell (ksh).  This book
	does offer a chapter on each.  In addition, this book may be more
	suited for a beginner than an experienced UNIX programmer.
