Systems Programming in Linux With C and C++
Systems Programming in Linux With C and C++
[2nd Edition]
About the Book
Systems Programming is a most important and core function of middleware development. It allows the System programmer / developer to use and exploit various services and system call interfaces offered by the OS to tailor the software for performance.
System programming and middleware are one of the very hot domains in the current world, they always are in need of writing opensource software to customizing software for a particular product.
The book deals with the systems programming under Linux OS basing the latest and greatest syscall layer supported from the Kernel. The book deals with practical approaches to programming with a lot of examples in C. Each example is a self compilable C code.

This book does not deal with kernel programming or lower layer.
