Digital Unix Internals and Data Structures

This reference guide provides detailed technical information on the internal functionality and data structures of the Digital UNIX Operating system. It aims to give users and developers a through understanding of how Digital UNIX operates in order to develop efficient applications, tune systems and analyze and correct problems. One of the biggest problems in becoming proficient in UNIX is seen as overcoming the mystique surrounding the operating system and its inner workings. While most people can learn the commands, perform basic system administration or write programs which run on UNIX, gaining a real understanding requires access to further information. This book offers to help readers overcome this exclusion and provides details on the design, implementation and behaviour of the Digital UNIX operating system. Users, system administrators, programmers and engineers of all levels may find the book to be a useful resource in their daily interactions with Digital UNIX, and a guide on the path to becoming a true UNIX guru.
It provides analysis of all aspects of the system's implementation, including virtual memory management, processes and threads, scheduling and real-time capabilities.
