While termcap and terminfo are no longer as important as they once were, due to the growth of the X terminal market and increased standardization among ASCII terminals, handling different terminal types can still be a headache for system administrators. The termcap and terminfo databases are UNIX's solution to the difficulty of supporting many terminals without writing special drivers for each terminal. Termcap (BSD) and terminfo (System V) describe the features of hundreds of terminals, together with a library of routines that allow programs to use those capabilities.This book documents hundreds of capabilities and syntax for termcap and terminfo, writing and debugging terminal descriptions, and terminal initialization.Contents include:Terminal independence: the need for termcap and terminfo. Reading termcap and terminfo entries. Capability syntax. Initializing the terminal environment. Writing termcap and terminfo entries. Converting between termcap and terminfo. Detailed descriptions of the capabilities. Screen dimensions and cursor movement. Initialization and reset. Special and equivalent terminals. Many useful appendices.

It covers HoneyDanBer UUCP as well as standard Version 2 UUCP, with special notes on Xenix. As one reader noted over the Net, "Don't even TRY to install UUCP without it!"Topics covered in Managing UUCP The tenth edition of this classic work has been revised and expanded to include descriptions

"The leading challenger to Microsoft's stranglehold on the computer industry is an operating system called Linux, the product of thousands of volunteer programmers who collaborate over the Internet. The software behind a majority of all the world's web sites doesn't come from a big company either, but from a loosely coordinated group of volunteer programmers called the Apache Group. The Internet itself, and much of its core software, was developed through a process of networked collaboration."

Technologický vývoj nabírá tempo, celá společnost stojí na rozcestí a my se užasle ptáme: WTF? Co se to děje? Připraví nás roboti o práci? A když ne roboti, tak obří společnosti typu Uber a Amazon? Zničí fake news demokracii? Vzbouří se nakonec umělá inteligence jako Skynet ve filmu Terminátor? Otázky jako pro majitele křišťálové koule... Ale přesně takovou pověst Tim O’Reilly má – „věštec Silicon Valley“ (časopis Inc.) nebo „stopař trendů“ (Wired). Zrod klíčových technologických inovací sleduje zblízka už od konce sedmdesátých let, opakovaně předpověděl další vývoj. Vyplatí se naslouchat mu i nyní.
