The Berkeley version of UNIX, also known as the BSD operating system, is designed and implemented in this book. Today, BSD is used extensively for Internet services and firewalls, timesharing, and multiprocessing systems and may be found in almost every UNIX variant.
Readers working in technical and sales support can get knowledge of the system's capabilities and limitations; application developers can learn how to interface with the system successfully and efficiently; and systems programmers can learn how to maintain, tune, and expand the system. This book provides the most thorough, up-to-date, and authoritative technical knowledge on the internal structure of the most recent BSD system, written from the unique perspective of the system's creators.
