Blue indicates the General User Documentation subkit. | |
Purple indicates the Programming Documentation subkit. | |
Maroon indicates the System and Network Management Documentation subkit. | |
Silver indicates Supplementary Documentation that is not part of any kit. |
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. 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.

This button and the corresponding fast-forward button are missing from the bar in one book. | |
