Operating Systems: A Design Oriented Approach - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This text covers all the basics of operating systems concepts, and shows how the concepts evolved into their present form. The approach is generally oriented to the UNIX operating system, but several other major operating systems are also discussed. Examples are taken from UNIX (several versions), Mach, OSF/1, Windows NT, OS/2, MS/DOS and Mac OS. Example code is shown for the major parts of an operating system, and the emphasis is on how OS design techniques apply to other areas in computer science.
