Also a good book on C
For example, the discussion of file I/O is very clear. This book isn't just a handy reference for programming in C in the UNIX environment; it's a useful reference for any C programmer.
Outstanding!
If you already know C and want to learn how to program on the UNIX os, this is the book to get. In my opinion, this is the best book on UNIX programming I have seen. This is what taught me. I usually always have this book with me. I even like the color!.
Essential C reference, but who knew? 
If we're to believe the cover and even the reviews on Amazon, it's just another book on Unix, when actually it's an essential Unix System V C libraries reference for C programmers. If there ever was a book that was badly advertised, this one is it. I haven't found anything remotely similar out there. I only bought it after flipping through the pages in a bookstore. It covers everything from file I/O through IPC. It contains tons of code that clearly show how to use each function. As it's a little dated, It doesn't cover pthreads or IPV6, but hopefully the author will make a second edition soon. . . and make sure that C programmers know that this book is what they're looking for!.
