Features: A series of foreign computer science textbooks. This book presents programming methods and techniques for the C language on the UNIX platform in a clear and well-structured manner, primarily targeting the increasingly popular IT solutions for distributed environments. The book reflects the standards and essence of the UNIX operating system, focusing on the operating system kernel (the true operating system part in UNIX), the system call interface between programs running in the UNIX environment, and some important library functions of the UNIX system. By analyzing system calls and library functions, the book enables readers to practice programming under UNIX and gain a deeper understanding of the UNIX system kernel. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in computer-related fields in science and engineering colleges, and it also provides valuable reference material for software engineers engaged in UNIX program development.
