Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Sun Solaris information needed Post 26557 by tarballed on Tuesday 20th of August 2002 02:21:16 PM

Scripting is something I very much want to learn. I've been learning some perl lately as I see shell scripting/scripting in general will be very useful as well as build my skills.

Solaris looks like it can be a lot of fun. I love Unix and Linux and think I can grasp Solaris pretty quickly.

I'd like to get started learning Solaris but im not sure where to begin.

Certifications are something considered, but i'd like to "learn" the system and actually know it. I dont want to know it on paper, but in a enviroment.

Would a recommendation be to buy a Sparc type box on ebay, maybe a couple of books and head from there? Just trying to get my feet wet in Solaris. Smilie


HP-UX is something else that sounds very interesting. After reading some posts by neo, its another one of those types that has sparked some interest. That's another subject entirely. Smilie

Thanks everyone.

Intro(9S)						    Data Structures for Drivers 						 Intro(9S)

NAME

       Intro, intro - introduction to kernel data structures and properties

DESCRIPTION

       Section	9P  describes kernel properties used by device drivers. Section 9S describes the data structures used by drivers to share informa-
       tion between the driver and the kernel. See Intro(9E) for an overview of device driver interfaces.

       In Section 9S, reference pages contain the following headings:

	   o	  NAME summarizes the purpose of the structure or property.

	   o	  SYNOPSIS lists the include file that defines the structure or property.

	   o	  INTERFACE LEVEL describes any architecture dependencies.

	   o	  DESCRIPTION provides general information about the structure or property.

	   o	  STRUCTURE MEMBERS lists all accessible structure members (for Section 9S).

	   o	  SEE ALSO gives sources for further information.

       Of the preceding headings, Section 9P reference pages contain the NAME, DESCRIPTION, and SEE ALSO fields.

       Every driver MUST include <sys/ddi.h> and <sys/sunddi.h>, in that order, and as final entries.

       The following table summarizes the STREAMS structures described in Section 9S.

NOTES

       Do not declare arrays of structures as the size of the structures can change between releases. Rely only on the structure members listed in
       this chapter and not on unlisted members or the position of a member in a structure.
