The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Magic Garden Explained: The Internals of Unix System V Release 4: An Open Systems Design':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
It used to be that if you wanted to learn UNIX you were told to read the source code. Then some books came out that taught users how to work, manage systems, and even program under UNIX. Then they said that if you wanted to learn UNIX *internals* you had to read the source code. That is still possibly true, but this will at least give you a start. Chapters one and two provide some history and UNIX concepts. Chapters three to six detail memory management, process management, input/output, and file management. The coverage is primarily, though not exclusively, based on the AT&T-descended System V release 4 version. Chapter seven looks at streams, eight at interprocess communication, and nine at the "crash" utility. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
