None of the books above explains 4.xBSD. The "Magic Garden" book deals
with pure SVR4. For BSD, check out "The design and implementation of
4.4BSD Operating System."
As for UNIX programming, I'd not recommend starting with the books on
UNIX above (of course, K&R is a must), but to go for Stevens's (RIP)
books:
- "Advanced Programming in UNIX Environment" (aka APUE)
- "Unix Network Programming" vv1,2 (aka UNPv1, UNPv2)
