Appendix C. Mac OS X’s Unix Development Tools
The version of Unix that you’ll encounter in Mac OS X’s Terminal is similar to other versions you have seen, but dissimilar in some fundamental and often surprising ways. Although most tools are in their usual place, some are not on the system, while others are not where you would typically expect to find them on other Unix systems.
The lists shown in this Appendix contain a sampling of the Unix
commands developers will find on Mac OS X. It is, by no means, a
complete list of the Unix utilities found on your system. Because
there are so many commands, they are organized into several
categories. If you are an experienced Unix user, many of these
commands will be familiar to you, but we’ve
referenced them here so you can quickly determine whether a command
you need is available. Unless otherwise specified, all of the tools
in the following lists can be found in
/usr/bin or
/usr/libexec. Some tools are available with the
standard distribution of Mac OS X, but others are available only
after installing the Xcode Tools. (See Chapter 8 for more information about the Xcode
Tools). Appendix B contains a listing of Unix commands that
don’t have manpages on Mac OS X Panther.

-
bison yacc-compatible parser generator.-
bsdmake BSD make program. Use this if you have any BSD makefiles.
