Systems Programming in Unix/Linux/

Abstract

Systems Programming in Unix/Linux by K. C. Wang provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and techniques of systems programming in Unix and Linux operating systems. The book explains how system-level software interacts with the operating system to manage processes, memory, files, and other computing resources. It covers essential programming concepts, including system calls, file operations, process management, interprocess communication, signals, pipes, and input/output redirection. The book also explores the use of C programming to develop system utilities and applications that interact directly with operating system services. Furthermore, it introduces topics such as concurrent programming, network programming, and shell scripting to help readers understand how Unix/Linux systems operate and how system-level applications are developed. Through practical examples and programming exercises, the book equips students and practitioners with the knowledge and skills needed to develop, debug, and maintain efficient system software. Overall, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding operating system functionality and applying systems programming techniques in Unix/Linux environments.
