Description:

Unlock the secrets of Linux system programming and take your coding skills to the next level

Do you use Linux, but not really understand it?

Have you ever wondered how ls -l knows everything it does?

Could you explain to a coworker why ls and find can be external commands but cd and umask must be built into the shell?

The answers to these questions, and more, are in Linux Application Development by Example, Second Edition! This book tells you exactly what you need to know--no more and no less--about the fundamental Linux system programming APIs.

Following the latest POSIX standard, author Arnold Robbins explains how the basic file, process, IPC and networking APIs work. When possible, he demonstrates the use of the APIs with code drawn from real programs (V7 Unix, BSD Unix, and GNU), and when that's not possible, he provides small, clearly documented and annotated, standalone example programs of his own. All code presented in the book is available for download, so you can compile, run, and modify the programs yourself.

Robbins focuses on both high-level principles and "under the hood" techniques. Along the way, he carefully addresses real-world issues like performance, portability, and robustness.

Each chapter closes with exercises, ranging from coding problems to thought experiments, to help you cement your understanding of the material covered, and all chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated for this edition, along with two chapters new in this edition.
