System Programming in Linux - A Hands-On Introduction

This comprehensive introduction to Unix system programming--with an emphasis on Linux--teaches beginners how the Unix OS is designed and structured "under the hood." This book deftly reveals the Unix operating system’s design and structure, teaching you how to write programs on and for the Linux OS and how to work efficiently within a Unix/Linux environment. Targeted at beginners with some basic C or C++ programming knowledge, you’ll find expert guidance on using the bash shell and other helpful Unix tools, and gain a practical understanding of the Linux kernel''s application programming interface. The author’s friendly, conversational style reflects his more than 40 years of experience teaching what he refers to as “the marvel of Unix.” Numerous diagrams included in each chapter illustrate and simplify key concepts, along with hands-on projects that build on one another as you work through the book. <*
