Publisher: Prentice Hall UNIX end-users desperately need an up-to-date reference guide with real depth: one that teaches UNIX commands rather than just listing them. In UNIX User's Guide, best-selling UNIX author Marty Poniatowski covers every topic UNIX users need to master, with clarity and real-world examples. Better yet, UNIX User's Guide has been carefully designed to serve the needs of any UNIX user -- whether they are working with Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, or any other leading platform. The UNIX User's Guide covers every skill end-users need to have. Coverage includes: login, mail, file management, end-user system administration commands, the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), built-in tools, and much more. Poniatowski reviews every end-user option for UNIX/NT interoperability, including NFS, Samba, X Windows, and POSIX commands. UNIX User's Guide presents the fundamentals of shell programming with the Bash, Korn, and C shells, as well as an introduction to powerful Unix tools such as sed, awk, and grep, and an introduction to vi programming -- with a bonus quick reference card for key vi commands. There's also a chapter that introduces readers to software development using C, C++, and Java. The book's accompanying FTP site includes powerful trialware for UNIX/NT interoperability.
