Features: This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to GNU/Linux programming. It first introduces the programming tools for Linux programming, then elaborates on Linux programming knowledge in terms of library functions, system calls, and the kernel, and specifically covers network programming knowledge including TCP/IP, UDP, and multicast sockets. The graphical interface is also a key focus of the book, with a strong emphasis on the text-based graphical interface library ncurses. Additionally, it explains the basic programming methods of popular graphical systems such as X Window, Qt, GNOME, and OpenGL. Finally, it introduces Bash programming and device driver programming. The book contains numerous practical examples, allowing readers to deeply understand programming concepts and techniques through example code. Another advantage of this book is that it covers topics often omitted in other programming books, such as RPM package management tools, documentation writing, and license selection for release. This is essential knowledge for any programmer preparing to engage in GNU development work. The book is an invaluable reference for all Linux programmers, whether beginners or advanced users.
