The USENIX Conference Proceedings are a good source of current information on tools and approaches evolving under UNIX. Operating Systems Review is an informal publication of SIGOPS, the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Operating Systems. Operating Systems Review sometimes has articles on recent developments in the area of file systems and device management.

Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment by Stevens [112] contains some nice case studies on user -level device control, including a program to control a PostScript printer, a modem dialer, and a pseudo terminal management program. Understanding the LINUX Kernel: From I/O Ports to Process Management by Bovet and Cesati [16] discusses underlying I/O implementation issues in LINUX. Data Communications Networking Devices by Held [47] is a general reference on network device management. Finally, SunOS 5.3 Writing Device Drivers is a very technical guide to implementing drivers for block-oriented and character-oriented devices under Solaris [119].
