I'm not a fan of this book. It is poorly constructed, disappointingly brief even on subjects that are "extensively" covered (such as awk, sed, perl, vi), doesn't contain a good list of Unix commands, and in general isn't worth the two slots it is taking up on my safari bookshelf. If you are already fairly knowledgable on a topic and are just looking for a hack, maybe this would work for you, but if you actually need some information about how a utility works, what it does, and how to use it in a general sense, there is no information in this book at all. |
