| Summary: | "Nearly all programmers at some point have to deal with the system calls and libraries of the operating system on which their programs run. This book is about writing system software for Linux - code that lives at a low level, and talks directly to the kernel and core system libraries. Linux System Programming describes the functions and performance trade-offs in using standard interfaces, including advanced Linux-only interfaces." "This book is also an insider's guide to writing smarter, faster code. Author and kernel hacker Robert Love explains not only how system interfaces should work, but also how they actually work, and how to use them safely and efficiently. Linux System Programming contains tricks to help you write better code at any level." "With Linux System Programming, you will be able to take an in-depth look at Linux from a theoretical and applied perspective to make the most effective use of your system."--Jacket |
