In short, this is Unix SVR4 internals, and nothing else.

I had to take a Sun course that was heavy on kernel internals; I never would have passed the test without this book.

This is not for the faint of heart or the idly curious. It does explain everything very well, and leaves very little to guess about, but it probably shouldn't be the very first internals book you read.

Of general interest, however, is the chapter devoted to "crash", that under-documented wonder of the kernel world. Even if I hadn't needed this to pass that awful test, I would use it for just this chapter alone.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them.

I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
