386BSD from the Inside-Out

386BSD from the Inside-Out 386BSD from the Inside-Out, William F. (Bill) Jolitz and Lynne Greer Jolitz . Describes in detail the internal structure of the 386BSD operating system done by the authors as an example of operating system design methodology and implementation choice, thus reconciling the implementation-specific practice discussed in the Operating Systems Source Code Secrets series with formal operating systems design. The unique approach of this work is to proceed from fundamental structure of the kernel and its interfaces to the specific subsystems present within the operating system. This inside-out progression illuminates alternative choices for structure in a historical light by detailing how the decisions made in the past affect the current technology. The focus of this book is to provide an exploded view of a modern computer operating system and why it is composed the way it is, so that students of the field can grasp the concepts and methodologies chosen.
