Good book for Unix Internals [closed]

Question

am very much interested in unix. Want to learn in and out. Can you guys help me by listing some books which can make me a wizard? Ultimately I want to become a unix programmer.

I am not a novice user in Unix.

Answer 1

You want system administration knowledge, or programming knowledge?

For programming:

• Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
• Unix Network Programming
• The Art of Unix Programming

For system administration:

• Automating Linux and System Administration
• Unix and Linux Administration Handbook

Answer 2

As other responders have noted, Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment (APUE) is indispensable.

Other books that you might want to consider (these have more of a Linux focus, but are a good way to become familiar with Unix internals):

• Linux System Programming: well written, understandable introduction to the Linux API. Not as much depth as the others, but a good way to get the "lay of the land."
• The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook: more up to date than APUE, but focused on Linux.
• Understanding the Linux Kernel (O'Reilly): learn about Unix programming from the perspective of an OS implementer, rather than a application developer.
