Features: Since the Renaissance, the long-standing spirit of science and gradually formed academic norms have given Western countries a dominant advantage in various fields of natural science. It is also this tradition that has enabled the United States to produce a succession of luminaries and lead the field in information technology over the past six decades. In the process of commercialization, the American industry and academia have become increasingly closely integrated. Many towering figures in computer science are simultaneously at the forefront of both research and teaching, and the classic scientific works they have produced not only outline the scope of research but also reveal the evolution of academia. These works adhere to academic norms while maintaining the individuality of scholars, and their value does not diminish with the passage of time. This book is an excellent introductory textbook on UNIX. The author provides an in-depth yet accessible analysis of all aspects of the UNIX operating system, systematically introducing the user interface of UNIX and the inner workings of the system. Starting from the most basic operations of UNIX, the book sequentially explains UNIX shell operations, text file editing, email sending and receiving, UNIX file and file system operations, input/output management, process management, network management, and editing of common shells. The appendices at the end provide a comprehensive introduction to UNIX terminal command parameters and options, while carefully designed in-chapter exercises and end-of-chapter questions reinforce commands, primitives, and concepts. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate students in computer science.
