Yep. 4.4BSD Programmers Ref. is the one I have but there were several.
Now out of print. I grabbed the ones I could find - at a place called
Computer Book Works on Warren St in lower Manhattan.
They also had McKusick's book which I grabbed.
Here's the number: Computer Book Works

I just called, they have one copy of 4.4BSD Programmers Reference left...
