    This book digs into the details of the Solaris 10 kernel, discussing the modular architecture of the kernel and each major subsystem. The goal of this book is to not just describe the internal components that make the Solaris kernel tick, but to also provide guidance on putting the information to practical use with emphasis on the use of bundled tools and utilities that can be used to examine and probe a running system.
