In the AT&T Commercial Sales Documentation Catalog, a number of publications are listed pertaining to System V. It is not clear what each of these pertain to based on the title. Can anyone help with this? User Reference Manual 307-109 Programmer Reference Manual 307-113 Programming Guide 307-103 User Guide 307-100 Shell Commands & Programming 307-123 Which if any of these correspond to the UNIX Programmer's Manual, volumes 1 and 2?

You still don't get everything, since documentation on terminal ioctl's can only be found in the System Management Utilities Guide (name may not be quite right, but it should be pretty close).

In reply to the question of what is in the various System V "books" I had the following on my shelf. > User Reference Manual 307-109 Section 1 (commands) and 6 (games) > Programmer Reference Manual 307-113 Section 2 (system calls), 3 (library), 4 (file formats) and 5 (miscellany). Section 3 is subdived these days > Programming Guide 307-103 Papers on C, C Libraries, Lint, Sdb, Fortran Ratfor, EFL, Curses and Terminfo > User Guide 307-100 I don't have this one. > Shell Commands & Programming 307-123 I don't have this one Also available (although not mentioned in the original question are) > Administrator Reference Manual 307-111 Section 1M (commands that mostly reside in /etc) and Section 7 (special files, including termio stuff) and Section 8 (system maintenance procedures) > Support Tools 307-108 Papers on make, sccs, m4, awk, ld, coff (common object file format), bc, lex, yacc, rje, uucp. > Editing Guide 307-126 Papers on ed, vi, sed, bfs Mostly the "papers" are recycled Bell Labs memos rather than new documentation.

And probably still more stuff; our S5R2 documentation isn't quite the size of our VMS documentation, but it's getting there (note: no value judgement is being made). > You still don't get everything, since documentation on terminal ioctl's > can only be found in the System Management Utilities Guide (name may not > be quite right, but it should be pretty close). Actually, it's the Administrator's Reference Manual, but no matter how thinly it's sliced it's still bologna. *It doesn't belong there, it belongs in the Programmer's Reference Manual*, which is where we're putting it (are you listening, AT&T?). The only part useful to admins is the disk partitioning. The rest is of infinitely more use to programmers than to admins. Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
