The Unix Programming Environment, Kernighan and Pike


The Unix Programming Environment PDF Download Ebook. Kernighan and Pike describe the UNIX® programming surroundings and philosophy in detail. Readers will gain an understanding not solely of the way to use the system, its components, and the packages, but additionally how these match into the total environment.

This book begins with a brief, excellent preface detailing some of the early historical past of Unix and explaining the structure of the book and the philosophy behind it. The preface states "Our goal on this book is to speak the UNIX programming philosophy all through runs the themes of mixing programs and of using applications to construct programs." It delivers on that goal.

The book then follows with a collection of chapters that start with basic shell instructions and then pipes before branching out into shell programming and occurring to explore useful Unix tools such as grep, sed, awk, C, the standard libraries, make, yacc and lex by a collection of small helpful applications culminating in a small calculator language known as `hoc' - a useful calculator and easily extensible.

Whereas most may feel that grep, sed, awk and shell programming have been changed by instruments comparable to Perl and Python these early chapters present a good grounding in Unix programming and remind newer users of the power and usefulness of these simple Unix tools.
