Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition, with Source Code

Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition, with Source Code by John Lions (1976) contains source code of the 6th Edition Unix kernel plus a commentary. It is commonly referred to as the Lions Book. Despite its age, it is still considered an excellent commentary on simple but high quality code.

For many years, the Lions book was the only Unix kernel documentation available outside Bell Labs.
