Features: This book was first circulated internally at the University of New South Wales in Australia where the author was located in 1976. However, due to the company's desire to keep the commercial secrets of the Unix kernel confidential, the book was never officially published for many years. But this book has always attracted the attention of Unix hackers and has been widely circulated privately, becoming an outstanding and classic work. Through the efforts of many knowledgeable individuals, the book was finally officially published in 1996. The language of the book is concise and thorough; as a self-study textbook for Unix, it has inspired and motivated professionals and students in the fields of computer science and advanced operating systems for over two decades. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is the source code of Unix V6, and the second part is a detailed analysis by Mr. Leon of the source code of the Unix operating system version 6.
