Used as an Operating System textbook at MIT\"After 20 years  this is still the best expostion of the workings of a real operating system.\" --- Ken Thompson (Developer of the UNIX operating system)After years of suppression (as trade secrets) by various owners of the UNIX code  this tome has been re-released  and we owe a debt to all involved in making this happen. I consider this to be the single most important book of 1996. Unix Review  June 1997\"The Lions book\"  cherished by UNIX hackers and widely circulated as a photocopied bootleg document since the late 1970s  is again available in an unrestricted edition. This legendary underground classic  reproduced without modification  is really two works in one: the complete source code to an early version (Edition 6) of the UNIX operating system  a treasure in itself! a brilliant commentary on that code by John Lionswith additional historical perspective essays added in 1996.Lions marriage of source code with commentary was originally used as an operating systems textbook  a purpose for which it remains superbly well-suited (as evidenced by its ongoing use at MIT).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665998962741,"sku":"ByrdShop_1573980137","price":63.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781573980135.jpg?v=1782415434","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lions-commentary-on-unix-9781573980135","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
