Features: This is an excellent introductory book on Linux programming, with well-chosen materials and thorough explanations. I enjoy self-learning, especially the knowledge about internationalization, which I have been following for a long time. It's a great Linux programming book for beginners, where the author demonstrates that for experienced programmers, using the Linux programming interface is a very effective method, much more useful than the repetitive editing examples introduced in most books. It comprehensively and progressively introduces Unix system programming techniques. The code used in the book is widely sourced and all from familiar programs, using these codes to illustrate every concept to be explained. The in-depth description of APIs and the comprehensive introduction to porting principles will greatly benefit readers and prepare them well for future reading and writing of system programs. I sincerely recommend this book to universities.
Are you learning to program? Planning to switch from Windows to Linux? Have you been doing Linux development but want to explore system call interfaces further? No matter which category you fall into, this book will help you quickly and directly master the essential knowledge needed to build standard Linux software. Through well-written program examples, the book teaches Linux programming in a very effective way, progressively introducing many high-level principles and deep techniques, solving practical problems such as performance, portability, and robustness. Based on Linux version 7 and GNU source code, the author focuses on introducing the basic system call API—the core of all important programs—and shows readers many examples—these examples are all derived from the programs that Linux/Unix users use daily.
