Write software that draws directly on services offered by the Linux kernel and core system libraries. With this comprehensive book, Linux kernel contributor Robert Love provides you with a tutorial on Linux system programming, a reference manual on Linux system calls, and an insider’s guide to writing smarter, faster code.
Love clearly distinguishes between POSIX standard functions and special services offered only by Linux. With a new chapter on multithreading, this updated and expanded edition provides an in-depth look at Linux from both a theoretical and applied perspective over a wide range of programming topics, including:
-
A Linux kernel, C library, and C compiler overview
-
Basic I/O operations, such as reading from and writing to files
-
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
-
Thread concepts, multithreaded programming, and Pthreads
-
File and directory management
-
Interfaces for allocating memory and optimizing memory access
-
Basic and advanced signal interfaces, and their role on the system
-
Clock management, including POSIX clocks and high-resolution timers

 | | Introductory Nuclear PhysicsIn the half dozen years or so since the first publication of Introductory Nuclear Physics, there have been several new developments and changes in the emphasis in the field. This, together with the enthusiastic feedback from colleagues and students, makes it imperative to publish a new edition.
For an active topic of research, a textbook... | | Arduino Projects to Save the World
Arduino Projects to Save the World shows that it takes little more than a few tools, a few wires and sensors, an Arduino board, and a bit of gumption to build devices that lower energy bills, help you grow our own food, monitor pollution in the air and in the ground, even warn you about earth tremors.
