Publisher's Synopsis
This user's reference for the three leading UNIX platforms focuses on the most useful user-level commands. Unlike the standard UNIX manual, it simplifies the understanding of each command by providing numerous real-world examples for each command described. The authors provide clear descriptions of over 50 of the most important user-level commands and include over 400 examples of commands, flags, options and environment variables. The book also contains an introduction to Bourne and Korn shell programming and offers detailed examples of using two of the UNIX systems' most powerful features - shell programming and the vi editor.
