A pocket guide to UNIX should contain (but not be limited to):
A list of each unix command with its possible arguments
A list of each Unix function and its arguments, including
a summary of printf/scanf formats.
For editors and other interactive tools, a summary of
frequently used commands (if not all).
A summary of nroff/troff/tbl (et al) constructions.
A summary of `awk' (as this is fairly short anyway).
For shells, their commands and (for Csh) special variables.
(badly needed) A SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES used by
various Unix programs.
If you have space, it would be nice to have syntax summaries of C,
a list of files in /usr/include and /usr/include/sys.
This is all I could think of right now.
