This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use of

the system you're running on -- code that interfaces directly with the

kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor,

compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. The majority of

both Unix and Linux code is still written at the system level, and Linux

System Programming focuses on everything above the kernel, where

applications such as Apache, bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls,

mv, and X exist. Written primarily for engineers looking to program

(better) at the low level, this book is an ideal teaching tool for any

programmer. Even with the trend toward high-level development, either

through web software (such as PHP) or managed code (C ), someone still

has to write the PHP interpreter and the C virtual machine. Linux

System Programming gives you an understanding of core internals that

makes for better code, no matter where it appears in the stack.

Debugging high-level code often requires you to understand the system

calls and kernel behavior of your operating system, too. Key topics

include: An overview of Linux, the kernel, the C library, and the C

compiler Reading from and writing to files, along with other basic file

I/O operations, including how the Linux kernel implements and manages

file I/O Buffer size management, including the Standard I/O library

Advanced I/O interfaces, memory mappings, and optimization techniques

The family of system calls for basic process management Advanced process

management, including real-time processes File and directories-creating,

moving, copying, deleting, and managing them Memory management --

interfaces for allocating memory, managingthe memory you have, and

optimizing your memory access Signals and their role on a Unix system,

plus basic and advanced signal interfaces Time, sleeping, and clock

management, starting with the basics and continuing through POSIX clocks

and high resolution timers With Linux System Programming, you will be

able to take an in-depth look at Linux from both a theoretical and an

applied perspective as you cover a wide range of programming topics.
