1. daemon book
The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX
Operating System, by Samuel J. Leffler, Marshall Kirk McKusick,
Michael J. Karels, and John S. Quarterman (Addison-Wesley Publishers, 1989,
ISBN 0-201-06196-1); or The Design and Implementation of the 4.4
BSD Operating System by Marshall Kirk McKusick, Keith Bostic,
Michael J. Karels and John S. Quarterman (Addison-Wesley Longman, 1996,
ISBN 0-201-54979-4) Either of the standard reference books on the internals
of BSD Unix. So called because the covers have a
picture depicting a little demon (a visual play on
daemon) in sneakers, holding a pitchfork (referring
to one of the characteristic features of Unix, the
fork(2)
system call).
