Unix and Shell Programming

This text introduces UNIX to computer science majors and nonmajors, covering basics, simple scriptwriting concepts, and writing shell programs. Material progresses from file systems, shells, filters, and communications, to Korn shell programming and C shell programming. No knowledge of UNIX is assumed, although the reader should be computer literate. Learning features include summaries, questions, exercises, and lab sessions. Many tables, scripts, and code examples are included. The authors are affiliated with De Anza College. Designed as one of the first true textbooks on how to use the UNIX operating system and suitable for a wide variety of UNIX based courses, UNIX and Shell Programming goes beyond providing a reference of commands to offering a guide to basic commands and shell programming. Learn about regular expressions, grep, sed, and awk. The book begins by introducing students to basic commands and tools for the UNIX operating system.
