This page discusses the following topics:
The organization of the bookshelves is similar to the kit structure of the printed documentation set except that books meeeting the needs of different audiences appear on several bookshelves. For example, you will find the Security book on the General User, Programming, and System and Network Administration bookshelves because it serves each of those audiences. Because it is part of the General User subkit, its bullet is blue () in all of the bookshelves in which it appears.
For complete information on all the books, see the Documentation
Overview, Glossary, and Master Index. The
descriptions in the Documentation Overview include order
numbers for the full printed documentation kit, for the various
subkits, and for individual books. Supplementary
Documentation is not part of any kit or subkit and cannot be ordered
from Digital.
Navigating between books
Except for links to the various books from the Master
Index, there is no way to go directly from one book to another.
To change books, return to the library and choose a new book. As
described below, some books have a library button to take you directly
to the library. To get to the library from a book without the library
button, you might be able to find the library page in the list under the
browser's Go menu; if it is not in this list, you must
navigate to the library by some other path, such as returning to the
DIGITAL UNIX home page and clicking on the DIGITAL UNIX
Documentation item again. You might find it useful to create a
bookmark for the Documentation Library page.
When you open a book with a DIGITAL UNIX title page, you will find a navigation button bar below the book's title on the title page. (In some books, you might have to scroll downward in the window to find the button bar.) This button bar looks like the following illustration. (The buttons in this illustration are not active.)
The button bar appears at the top of the table of contents, each chapter and section, and the index. It includes seven different buttons, but one book has only five. In some books with seven buttons, the bar also appears at the bottom of each file. The entire button bar always appears, but some buttons might be blank to show that they are disabled. Note that the buttons do not have borders to indicate whether you have already visited the places to which they will take you.
The following table describes what the buttons do:
This button takes you to the table of contents in the book you are reading. | |
This button searches backward for the first chapter marker earlier in the book than your present location. If you are at the beginning (before the first numbered section) of any chapter except the first, you will go to the beginning of the preceding chapter. If you are at the beginning of the first chapter, this button is disabled. If you are in one of the numbered sections within a chapter, you will go to the beginning of the chapter you are in. This button and the corresponding fast-forward button are missing from the bar in one book. | |
This button searches backward for the first section marker earlier in the book than your present location. If you are at the beginning (before the first numbered section) of a chapter, this button is disabled. If you are in one of the numbered sections within a chapter, you will go to the beginning of the preceding section. | |
This button searches forward for the first section marker later in the book than your present location. If you are in the last section of a chapter, this button is disabled. To go to the next chapter, use the next button to the right. | |
This button searches forward for the first chapter marker later in the book than your present location. If you are in the last chapter, this button is disabled. This button and the corresponding fast-reverse button are missing from the bar in one book. | |
This button takes you to the index of the book you are reading. | |
This button brings you to the page you are reading now. You can leave this page open for reference. To return to the location you came from, do not use the browser's [Back] button. Instead, use the browser's Window or Go menu to find the window in which you clicked the button. |

The table of contents in these books is integrated with the title and copyright page.
The button bar appears at the top and bottom of the table of contents, each chapter, and the index. It includes five different buttons, but only buttons that are active appear. Note that the buttons do not have borders to indicate whether you have already visited the places to which they will take you.
