Need a good scripting book
Just a quick request guys
As you might have guessed I've just started getting involved in Unix
The guys and the boss in the unix team (not with them yet) have given me some projects to do at my request.
Some of which involve scripting. The work is paying for me to go on a scripting course ao things are looking up.
But this is where the problem lies, I use man at every opportunity (and the forums) but I need a reccomendation for a good scripting book for a newbie.
The reason!! I done a man on trap and I still dont know what it does and i must have read it about 20 times.
Cheers in advance the w33man

dtmmdbbookgettablist
DtMmdbBookGetTabList(library call) DtMmdbBookGetTabList(library call)
NAME
DtMmdbBookGetTabList -- obtains the list of tab sections in a book
SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h>
DtMmdbHandle** DtMmdbBookGetTabList(
DtMmdbInfoRequest* request,
unsigned int* length);
DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbBookGetTabList function returns the list of tab sections for the specified book object. It returns the list in a NULL-terminated
array. Use the DtMmdbFreeHandleList function to release the memory when the array is no longer needed. Table lookup is involved when the
identifier is specified by either the primary_oid or sequence_num field.
ARGUMENTS
request Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well as a valid value in the primary_oid, the secondary_oid, or the
sequence_num field. The primary_oid represents the DtInfo Database object identifier of the TOC section; the secondary_oid rep-
resents the object identifier of the book itself; and the sequence_num represents the sequence number of the book within the
bookcase (0 based). If more than one of these fields have a valid value, the order of precedence is: primary_oid, secondary_oid,
and, last, sequence_num.
length Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned list of sections, if the returned pointer to the list is not NULL.
RETURN VALUE
If DtMmdbBookGetTabList completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the list of sections for the book. If it fails, it returns a NULL
pointer.
EXAMPLE
None.
