Product Description

Product Description
If you use UNIX, you probably use csh to type commands even if you've never heard of it. It's the standard shell (command line) on most UNIX systems. tcsh is an enhanced version that's freely available and highly recommended. Using csh & tcsh describes from the beginning how to use these shells interactively. More important, it shows how to get your work done faster with less typing. Even if you've used UNIX for years, techniques described in this book can make you more efficient. You'll learn how to:
  • Make your prompt tell you where you are (no more pwd)
  • Use what you've typed before (history)
  • Type long command lines with very few keystrokes (command and filename completion)
  • Remind yourself of filenames when in the middle of typing a command
  • Edit a botched command instead of retyping it
This book does not cover programming or script writing in csh or tcsh because the tasks are better done with a different shell, such as sh (the Bourne shell) or a language like Perl.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tutorial for csh and tcsh, 12 April 1998
By A Customer
If you use Unix and have never tried the tcsh shell, I highly recommend that you check it out. This book is one of the few sources of information on this shell besides the man page. While the man page makes a great, if terse, reference, this book explains the most useful features in plain English. However, if you use just the csh shell, do not use Unix often, or are not willing to spend the time to customize your shell or memorize arcane command syntax, owning an entire book on the shell is probably overkill.
