Synopsis :

A comprehensive examination of UNIX system calls - the interface between user programs and the kernel.* features in-depth coverage of AT&T Systems III and V, IBMs PC/IX, and Microsofts Xenix 3. offers practical advice on how and when to use - and not use - system calls, based on the authors extensive experience with UNIX. provides hints on making applications portable. emphasizes strengths and limitations of UNIX. explains the rationale behind many UNIX design features. contains a logical grouping of system calls to facilitate study in conjunction with operating system texts. contains over 100 detailed, tested example programs.

Quatrième de couverture:

The classic guide to UNIX® programming-completely updated!

UNIX application programming requires a mastery of system-level services. Making sense of the many functions-more than 1,100 functions in the current UNIX specification-is a daunting task, so for years programmers have turned to Advanced UNIX Programming for its clear, expert advice on how to use the key functions reliably.

An enormous number of changes have taken place in the UNIX environment since the landmark first edition. In Advanced UNIX Programming, Second Edition, UNIX pioneer Marc J. Rochkind brings the book fully up to date, with all-new, comprehensive coverage including:

• POSIX
• Solaris™
• Linux®
• FreeBSD
• Darwin, the Mac™ OS X kernel
• And more than 200 new system calls

Rochkind's fully updated classic explains all the UNIX system calls you're likely to need, all in a single volume!

• Interprocess communication, networking (sockets), pseudo terminals, asynchronous I/O, advanced signals, realtime, and threads
• Covers the system calls you'll actually use-no need to plow through hundreds of improperly implemented, obsolete, and otherwise unnecessary system calls!
• Thousands of lines of example code include a Web browser and server, a keystroke recorder/player, and a shell complete with pipelines, redirection, and background processes
• Emphasis on the practical-ensuring portability, avoiding pitfalls, and much more!

Since 1985, the one book to have for mastering UNIX application programming has been Rochkind's Advanced UNIX Programming. Now completely updated, the second edition remains the choice for up-to-the-minute, in-depth coverage of the essential system-level services of the UNIX family of operating systems.
