学习Vi编辑器对许多用户来说，在UNIX环境下工作就意味着使用vi，这是一个在大部分UNIX系统上可以使用的全屏幕文本编辑器。然而，即使了解vi的人通常也只使用了它的一小部分功能。
这本畅销书的最新修改版是使用vi进行文本编辑的完全手册。新主题涵盖了4种vi克隆版本：nvi、elvis、vim和vile，并且介绍了它们对vi的扩展功能，如多窗口编辑、GUI接口、扩展的正则表达式以及针对程序员的新增功能。新加的附录还描述了vi在UNIX和Internet文化中的地位。
这本书将带领读者快速地学习基本的编辑、光标移动以及全局查找与替换操作，然后是更灵活的vi功能，以及如何在vi中使用功能强大的ex行编辑器来提高编辑技巧。为了便于读者参考，本书第六版还在每个相应章节的最后增加了命令总结。

《学习 vi编辑器》一书封面的动物眼镜猴（tarsier），是一种类似于狐猴的夜间活动的哺乳动物。它通常的名字Tarsus来源于该动物非常长的踝骨，即跗骨。眼镜猴居住在苏门答那岛、菲律宾群岛和苏拉威西岛之间的东印度群岛的丛林中，它生活在树上，能非常敏捷、快速地在树枝之间跳跃。眼镜猴很小，身体只有6英寸长，但却拖着一条10英寸长的毛茸茸的尾巴。它的身上有一层柔软、褐色或银灰色的皮毛，面部呈圆形，眼睛很大。它的手臂、腿、脚趾又长又细，脚趾的尖部是圆形的、肉乎乎的平板，这样可以帮助眼镜猴紧握树枝。眼镜猴只在夜间活动，白天躲在杂乱的长藤之间或高树顶上。它们主要吃昆虫，虽然有很强的好奇心，但是喜欢独居。

A competent system administrator knows that a Linux server is a high performance system for routing large amounts of information through a network connection. Setting up and maintaining a Linux server requires understanding not only the hardware, but the ins and outs of the Linux operating system along with its supporting cast of utilities as well as layers of applications software. There's basic documentation online but there's a lot beyond the basics you have to know, and this only comes from people with hands-on, real-world experience. This kind of "know how" is what we sought to capture in Linux Server Hacks. Linux Server Hacks is a collection of 100 industrial-strength hacks, providing tips and tools that solve practical problems for Linux system administrators. Every hack can be read in just a few minutes but will save hours of searching for the right answer. Some of the hacks are subtle, many of them are non-obvious, and all of them demonstrate the power and flexibility of a Linux system. You'll find hacks devoted to tuning the Linux kernel to make your system run more efficiently, as well as using CVS or RCS to track the revision to system files. You'll learn alternative ways to do backups, how to use system monitoring tools to track system performance and a variety of secure networking solutions. Linux Server Hacks also helps you manage large-scale Web installations running Apache, MySQL, and other open source tools that are typically part of a Linux system. O'Reilly's new Hacks Series proudly reclaims the term "hacking" for the good guys. Hackers use their ingenuity to solve interesting problems. Rob Flickenger is an experienced system administrator, having managed the systems for O'Reilly Network for several years. (He's also into community wireless networking and he's written a book on that subject for O'Reilly.) Rob has also collected the best ideas and tools from a number of other highly skilled contributors. Written for users who already understand the basics, Linux Server Hacks is built upon the expertise of people who really know what they're doing.

This refreshed edition serves as the most valuable guide yet to the bash shell. It's full of practical examples of shell commands and programs guaranteed to make everyday use of Linux that much easier. Includes information on key bindings, command line editing and processing, integrated programming features, signal handling, and much more!
O'Reilly's bestselling book on Linux's bash shell is at it again. Now that Linux is an established player both as a server and on the desktop Learning the bash Shell has been updated and refreshed to account for all the latest changes. Indeed, this third edition serves as the most valuable guide yet to the bash shell. As any good programmer knows, the first thing users of the Linux operating system come face to face with is the shell the UNIX term for a user interface to the system. In other words, it's what lets you communicate with the computer via the keyboard and display. Mastering the bash shell might sound fairly simple but it isn't. In truth, there are many complexities that need careful explanation, which is just what Learning the bash Shell provides. If you are new to shell programming, the book provides an excellent introduction, covering everything from the most basic to the most advanced features. And if you've been writing shell scripts for years, it offers a great way to find out what the new shell offers. Learning the bash Shell is also full of practical examples of shell commands and programs that will make everyday use of Linux that much easier. With this book, programmers will learn:
* How to install bash as your login shell
* The basics of interactive shell use, including UNIX file and directory structures, standard I/O, and background jobs
* Command line editing, history substitution, and key bindings
* How to customize your shell environment without programming
* The nuts and bolts of basic shell programming, flow control structures, command-line options and typed variables
* Process handling, from job control to processes, coroutines and subshells
* Debugging techniques, such as trace and verbose modes
* Techniques for implementing system-wide shell customization and features related to system security

本书在一开始就给出一个概述和指南，论述了从grep到sed再到awk不断改进的功能。sed和awk具有相同的命令行语法，以脚本的形式接收用户的命令。因为所有这三个程序都使用UNIX正则表达式，因此书中用一章的篇幅来介绍UNIX的正则表达式语法。
然后，本书介绍如何编写sed脚本。从编写几行简单的脚本开始，学习进行手工编辑操作的其他基本命令和高级命令，以及由此引入的简单程序结构。这些高级命令包括用于处理保持空间、即一个等量齐观时缓冲区的命令。

学习GNU Emacs GNU Emacs是Emacs编辑器家族中最受欢迎、传播范围最广、也是最强大和最灵活的UNIX文本编辑器。与其他文本编辑器的重要区别在于它是一个完备的工作环境，使用Emacs可以完成各种日常工作。本书循序渐进地讲述Emacs的入门知识，随着本书的深入，读者的Emacs使用水平将从初级(只会进行简单的文字编辑)提高到足以完成相当复杂的定制和程序设计任务的阶段。 本书对Emac

GNU Emacs is the most popular and widespread of the Emacs family of editors. It is also the most powerful and flexible.

Vim, a vast improvement over its classic ancestor vi, is a serious tool for programmers, web developers, and sysadmins. No other text editor comes close to Vim for speed and efficiency; it runs on almost every system imaginable and supports most coding and markup languages.
Learn how to edit text the “Vim way”: complete a series of repetitive changes with The Dot Formula, using one keystroke to strike the target, followed by one keystroke to execute the change. Automate complex tasks by recording your keystrokes as a macro. Run the same command on a selection of lines, or a set of files.
Discover the “very magic” switch, which makes Vim’s regular expression syntax more like Perl’s. Build complex patterns by iterating on your search history. Search inside multiple files, then run Vim’s substitute command on the result set for a project-wide search and replace. All without installing a single plugin!
You’ll learn how to navigate text documents as fast as the eye moves—with only a few keystrokes. Jump from a method call to its definition with a single command. Use Vim’s jumplist, so that you can always follow the breadcrumb trail back to the file you were working on before. Discover a multilingual spell-checker that does what it’s told.
Practical Vim will show you new ways to work with Vim more efficiently, whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate Vim user.
All this, without having to touch the mouse.
