UNIX/C PROGRAMMING $34.95 Esséritial UNIX informát ion... Featuring thorough, yet concise coverage of many topics of importance to advanced UNIX users with C programming experience, and liberally supplemented with example code and helpful exercises, this book is an invaluable resource for UNIX power users, programmers, and system and network administrators. Professor Leach discusses UNIX at many levels-from high-level to lowerlevel routines that can be accessed only through the syscall vector. Readers will alsó appreciate his in-depth coverage of a number of crucial system call and programming issues that either have not been covered, or are only touched upon briefly in other UNIX books. • Detailed coverage of interprocess communication-includes a chapter comparing various ipc methods on a variety of platforms • An in-depth look at lightweight processes (threads) and how to use monitors to synchronize them ' • An exhaustive discussion of process and file subsystems at both the...
