Features: This book comprehensively introduces the programming interface of the UNIX system—the system call interface and many functions provided by the standard C library. The first 15 chapters focus on theoretical knowledge, primarily covering UNIX files and directories, process environment, process control, inter-process communication, and various I/O. On this foundation, multiple application examples are introduced chapter by chapter, including how to create a database function library, a PostScript printer driver, a modem dialer, and a program to run other programs on pseudo-terminals, among others. Rich in content and authoritative, with clear and profound concepts, the book has long been hailed as the "Bible" of UNIX programming and remains an invaluable reference for all UNIX programmers—whether beginners or experts.
