VERY detailed!

BySean Zicarion February 15, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

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!

Very accurate text; good reference book

ByA customeron November 18, 1998

Format: Paperback

If you have ever looked for an illustrated AT&T manual on Unix internals you have just found one. Authors should be praised for the quality and accuracy of the information presented in the book. Very nice chapter on STREAMS. However, it can not be compared with one very fine text such as Bach's book on Unix internals.This one lacks the lucidity and sophistication to qualify as an outstanding reference on the subject . Poor paper and print quality a big minus. Overall, I do recommend this text as your second book on Unix.

A must-have for any Technical Library

ByA customeron February 4, 1997

Format: Paperback

Needing to delve into crash dumps? Want to write robust device drivers? Do you *really* like kernel hacking? Does having a complete understanding of an operating system give you a competitive advantage? The Magic Garden Explained gives the how's and why's of SVR4 architecture in detail that I have found no-where else. Complete algorithms (in pseudo code) provide a glimpse into the elegance of the OS. This book should be read cover to cover once, then referenced countless times by any aspiring "guru".

Does more confusion than explaining

BySergey Babkinon October 18, 1999

Format: Paperback

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.

Very thorough but disconnected

ByA customeron September 7, 1998

Format: Paperback

A very thorough discussion of Unix System V implementation. Covers almost everything you'd want to know. The biggest problem is that each topic/chapter is covered in isolation, with absolutely no reference to interactions between components. This can be very aggravating when try to determine relationships between, for example, the file system and memory management.

The definitive guide for UNIX kernel developer

Bytstam@cs.purdue.eduon September 21, 1999

Format: Paperback

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.
