If you want to know everything about how System V Unix, the current standard, works...this book is for you. There is a ridiculous amount of detail on every aspect of it. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide for UNIX kernel developer
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 1999
The Magic Garden is so far the most comprehensive and in-depth discussion on the Unix Sys-V kernel. It discusses in-depth on how the new design of virtual memory works, in conjunction with the file system module. The authors include a lot of short source code pieces to illustrate the concept and present explanation in clear and concise language.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn UNIX internals
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2007
I purchased this book recently. Though a little outdated, the concepts covered in this book are invaluable for anyone who wants to understand UNIX internals. I would also recommend Maurice Bach Design of the UNIX Operating System (Prentice Hall Software Series)

Excellent book on UNIX internals. Somewhat confusing at places. But still a good read for any CS student or programmer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does more confusion than explaining
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 1999
This seems to be the worst book about the Unix internals I ever read. The signal/noise ratio of this book is quite low. Most of its contents are just slightly commented sVr4 header files (which files by the way you can get for free with a free UnixWare system and not bother about a book). The descriptions of algorighms are short, difficult to follow and sometimes self-contradicting. And between the high-level descriptions of algorithms and low-level header files there is a great gap that makes both these descriptions rather useless. If you look for the description of what's going on inside svr4 then compared to this book the Vahalia's book covers much wider range of systems (including sVr4 and its derivative Solaris), each of them in more detail, has much clearer descriptions, and all that in less volume. But if all you want are slightly commented header files then this book is exactly what you are looking for.

It's a reprint of the original classic from 94. Great book, talks about all the gory details of the UNIX SVR iv. It mostly uses c like psuedo code instead of discussing the actual c code because of the copyright, nevertheless great to have a copy.

Received brand new copy of the book set with First impression of 2016 in 2 days. I need not have to tell about the legendary book who explains internals of the Unix system. Authors have taken lots of efforts to bring this pot of knowledge to us.
