Description:

This is a graduate course in computer science on UNIX programming tools. This course introduces the UNIX operating system and it provides a description of user level tools available to users and programmers. It also describes UNIX system programming tools and UNIX internals. Some administrative tools for backup and security will also be presented.


This course requires an understanding of high level operating systems and a working knowledge of high level programming languages. It will focus on how to get things done in UNIX and will cover the following topics:


  1. What makes UNIX unique: its environment and philosophy
  2. the UNIX shells: the command interpreter languages
  3. Important utilities in UNIX: find, grep, tar, cpio and others
  4. C programming tools: MAKE, libraries and debugging
  5. Networking Utilities and Environment: for example, rlogin, telnet, ftp, and NFS: the network file system.
  6. System programming highlights: system calls, files, processes, sockets and pipes
  7. Overview of Operating system Internals: kernel, inodes, files and processes
  8. System administration tools for backup and security

There will be several written and programming assignments and one final project for the course.
