Unix variant has attracted the people very much. Till today, Unix is believed to be bread and butter of Computer Science intern's. In this book, first nine chapters deal with “how to get hands on exposure to Unix Operating System”. Subsequent chapters explain “Unix internal programming”. All the examples given are tested under Linux environment. Salient Features • Examples given in Processes are very illustrative and concept oriented.
