Advanced Unix Programming

Fülszöveg

Marc J. Rochkincfl
In this book, Marc J. Rochkind explains clearly and systematically how to
program UNIX at the system call level. It is his aim to help any experienced
programmer learn system calls easily and use them wisely and portably.
Based on his own experience, he shows why and when they are used.
He gives lots of practical advice, illustrated with over 3,000 lines of example
programs.
The author treats the five most important versions of UNIX:
• System V, the newest AT&T offering.
• System III, the basis for many current implementations.
• Version 7, the last release to come from the Bell Laboratories research
organization.
• Berkeley 4.2BSD from the University of California.
• Xenix, a product of Microsoft Corporation—the popular microcomputer
version.
Among the system calls covered: I/O on files and terminals; processes
(multi-tasking); communication between processes; signals; and system
administration.

Reviewers write:
"There are books on programming and systems design that contain
hundreds of lines of code but spend very little time explaining why and
when to use the skills they teach. Advanced UNIX Programming goes
beyond the normal how-to mindset and teaches the philosophy behind the
different system calls."
"No matter what version of UNIX you work with, the Information in
Advanced UNIX Programming will be an invaluable aid in creating more
efficient programs."
