Part V. Under Mac OS X’s Hood

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves. This part of the book goes deeper into the BSD Unix side of Mac OS X, introducing you to the Terminal application (your interface to Darwin), and covers topics on pattern matching, shells, using the defaults command, installing the X Window System, and installing Unix applications on your Mac.

This part wraps up with the most complete Unix command reference you’ll find in print for Mac OS X. Every command and option has been verified against Jaguar; in many places, this reference is more accurate than the manpages installed on your system.

The chapters in this part include:
