Mac OS X UNIX-oriented Tutorial

command lineunix

Is there any Mac OS X tutorial/book that covers the UNIX part of this operating system? Topics like:

  • Managing daemons from the command-line
  • Package management
  • Install/Remove dmg's from the command-line
  • Environment variables
  • Users/Groups/Permissions management
  • CLI utilities
  • OS Directory structure
  • Location of dev headers, libraries, etc
  • Devices names

Most of the tutorials I found out there cover GUI applications and that kind of stuff. Is there any material that covers Mac OS X under the hood?

I suggest you to try: Unix for OS X which is a good way to begin with Unix and with the Unix command line interface of Mountain Lion. O'Reilly is a very good editor in the field of the Unixes environments.
