About the Book

This is Sun's definitive guide to the internals of SunOS, the operating system component of Sun's Solaris operating environment. It will be invaluable for anyone responsible for Solaris management, maintenance, performance and/or application tuning. This book covers all aspects of SunOS internals, especiallly major kernel data structures and kernel code algorithms, with a focus on practical applications. Understand how the Solaris operating environment is organized; including the kernel directory hierarchy, system facilities, interfaces, system calls, libraries, Posix support, and more. Review processes, threads, the dispatcher, and the Virtual File System (VFS). Understand the Solaris Memory Architecture, virtual memory, and interprocess communications -- and master memory analysis, sizing and capacity planning.
