| Description: |
A guide to Linux processes and IPC for programmers and system administrators which covers pipes, message queues, semaphores, shared memory, RPC, sockets, the /proc file system, and more. It also provides the coverage of multithreading with POSIX compliant Linux Threads and contains program examples compiled with the GNU C/C++ compiler 2.96 & 3.2. |
| Synopsis: |
Understanding the concepts of processes and interprocess communications (IPC) is fundamental to developing software for Linux. This book zeroes right in on the key techniques of processes and interprocess communication - from primitive communications to the complexities of sockets. It covers every aspect of UNIX/Linux interprocess communications in sufficient detail to allow experienced programmers to begin writing useful code immediately. The book also includes a precise description of the basics of network programming that make this one of the best introductory books on UNIX/Linux network programming using sockets. Grey explains exactly what processes are, how they are generated, how they can access their own environments, and how they can communicate with other processes. From beginning to end, the book truly leads you through the "nooks and crannies" of UNIX - making you a dramatically more effective programmer. Rave reviews for UNIX companion volume-- "I really like this book!!! Concepts that I only vaguely understood now make complete sense to me! The sample code and exercises are so good, they seem to clamp down on the concepts like a vise grip..." S.Lee Henry, Johns Hopkins University. |
