Book Description
UNIX for FORTRAN Programmers provides the serious scientific programmer with an introduction to the UNIX operating system and its tools. The intent of the book is to minimize the UNIX entry barrier and to familiarize readers with the most important tools so they can be productive as quickly as possible.
UNIX for FORTRAN Programmers shows readers how to do things they're interested in: not just how to use a tool such as
make or
rcs, but how to use it in program development and how it fits into the toolset as a whole.
The tools discussed include:
- The FORTRAN compiler (f77).
- UNIX interactive command languages, or shells (csh for interactive use, sh for shell programming).
- vi, the standard UNIX editor.
- Object library management tools (ar and ranlib).
- The programming environment (I/O, basic system calls, error handling).
- The adb and dbx debuggers.
- prof, gprof, time, profiling tools.
- make, a tool for automating complex compilations.
- rcs, a source code management system for large projects.
- Common porting problems.
Reader Reviews
This is another one of those white books from O'Reilly about UNIX. I can't seem to get anywhere with it. Does explain command line UNIX and UNIX architecture. I guess there are so many areas one can be a guru in that not all of us have the time to be UNIX gurus. From what I hear too the work environment at computer corporations is very alientating for UNIX gurus.
