Unix Topical Reference

Unix Topical Reference is a tool to help users find Unix commands needed to accomplish certain tasks. It is arranged by topic according to the function to be performed. For example, if you need to perform a search, by looking up the topic “search”, you will find several Unix commands that can be used. The command sections contain a listing of the options (from the SCO man pages) with detailed descriptions. Practical examples are included. Also includes a quick reference index, an appendix on Unix shells and one on using “vi”, the Unix visual editor.

This book is perfect for reducing the learning curve for technical people who are new to Unix such as programmers or users from other operating systems.
