For anyone who has had a question about what a directory is, or the needing to understand the underlying concept of simple file categorization comes a new book from publisher O'Rumpley & A Socks. Written by famed author Joseph Dietz (URL Pronounciation Guide, Fifty States of Fun: a Gangsta's Guide to US Travel, and others) comes a fresh and invigorating way of looking at how to utilize the ls command available on many UNIX systems and ported to many other operating systems as well. Dietz covers the whole spectrum of ls functions including such things as wildcards and formatting. Dietz gives an entertaining history about how the ls command came about stemming from an argument over a cheeseburger. Through his wry humor, Dietz allows the reader to feel as though Ken Thompson wrote UNIX just so the ls command could be used.
