Описание: The subject of this book is UNIX system calls—the interface between the UNIX kernel and the user programs that run on top of it. Those who interact only with commands, like the shell, text editors, and other application programs, may have little need to know much about system calls, but a thorough knowledge of them is essential for UNIX programmers. System calls are the only way to access kernel facilities such as the file system, the multitasking mechanisms, and the interprocess communication primitives.
System calls define what UNIX is. Everything else—subroutines and commands—is built on this foundation. While the novelty of many of these higher-level programs has been responsible for much of UNIX’s renown, they could as well have been programmed on any modern operating system. When one describes UNIX as elegant, simple, efficient, reliable, and portable, one is referring not to the commands (some of which are none of these things), but to the kernel.Доп. информация: Раздача сделана специально для курса Многопоточное программирование на С/С++.
