A while ago there were some posts to the list and also
the Darwin Documentation list about planned books on
MacOS X/ Darwin internals. David Gatwood said that he
was writing a kernel programming book with the working
title "Kernel Panic" (and he said that would not be
the final title). Also, Gautam Godse said that he was
writing a book with the tentative title "Mac OS X/
Darwin: Internals". Have those books or any similar
books come out?
not to my knowledge, but I would be interested to see them
Also, the online developer documentation on kernel
programming suggests reading the book "The Design and
Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System" by
McKusick et al for background for the BSD part of the
kernel. However, it says that the BSD stuff is based
on the FreeBSD operating system.
on FreeBSD 3.2, or so I am led to believe
More recently, the
book "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD
Operating System" by McKusick and Neville-Neil. So
should I really be reading the FreeBSD book?
it's a good book, and will do you no harm to read it
It is focused on FreeBSD 5.2
Does anybody know if there is much new stuff in the FreeBSD
book anyway? (I already own a copy of the older 4.4
BSD book.)
I own both, and yes there are quite a number of differences
