For all but the thorniest UNIX problems, this one reference should be all the documentation you need. The third edition of UNIX in a Nutshell includes thorough coverage of System V Release 4. To that, author Arnold Robbins has added the latest information about: Sixty new commands in The Alphabetical Summary of Commands Solaris 7 Shell syntax (sh, csh, and the 1988 and 1993 versions of ksh) Regular expression syntax vi and ex commands, as well as newly updated Emacs information sed and awk commands troff and related commands and macros, with a new section on refer make, RCS (version 5.7), and SCCS commands Obsolete commands In addition, there is a new UNIX bibliography to guide the reader to further reading about the UNIX environment. 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.
Arnold Robbins, an Atlanta native, is a professional programmer and technical author. He is also a happy husband, the father of four very cute children, and an amateur Talmudist (Babylonian and Jerusalem). Since late 1997, he and his family have been living happily in Israel. Arnold has been working with UNIX systems since 1980, when he was introduced to a PDP-11 running a version of Sixth Edition UNIX. He has been a heavy awk user since 1987, when he became involved with gawk, the GNU project's version of awk. As a member of the POSIX 1003.2 balloting group, he helped shape the POSIX standard for awk. He is currently the maintainer of gawk and its documentation. The documentation is available from the Free Software Foundation (http://www.gnu.org) and has also been published by SSC (http://www.ssc.com) as Effective AWK Programming. O'Reilly has been keeping him busy: He is co-author of the second edition of O'Reilly's sed&awk, and of the sixth edition of O'Reilly's Learning the vi Editor.
