Devil Book
     
         "The Design and Implementation of the {4.3BSD}
        Unix Operating System", by Samuel J. Leffler, Marshall Kirk
        McKusick, Michael J. Karels, and John S. Quarterman
        (Addison-Wesley Publishers, 1989, ISBN 0-201-06196-1).
     
        The standard reference book on the internals of {BSD} {Unix}.
        So called because the cover has a picture depicting a little
        devil (a visual play on {daemon}) in sneakers, holding a
        pitchfork (referring to one of the characteristic features of
        Unix, the "{fork}(2)" {system call}).
