| Publisher Description: Solaris is a widely used version of UNIX and for the first time Solaris is open source with version 10 (released JAN 2005). This book explains--from the designers themselves--how Solaris was built and what makes it operate. It digs into the details of the Solaris 10 kernel, discussing the modular architecture of the kernel and each major subsystem. The goal of this book is to not just describe the internal components that make the Solaris kernel tick, but to also provide guidance on putting the information to practical use with emphasis on the use of bundled tools and utilities that can be used to examine and probe a running system. Since the first edition of this title, the authors have communicated with many Solaris users, developers, and sys admins who provided feedback on the book's content and structure. In response to this feedback, Mauro and McDougall have adopted a different, easier format which now breaks each topic into three distinct sections. |
