Résumé

If you are an experienced C programmer with a working knowledge of UNIX, you cannot afford to be without this
up-to-date tutorial on the system call interface and the most important functions found in the ANSI C library. Rich Stevens
describes more than 200 system calls and functions; since he believes the best way to learn code is to read code, a brief
example accompanies each description.

Building upon information presented in the first 15 chapters, the author offers chapter-long examples teaching you how to
create a database library, a PostScript printer driver, a modem dialer, and a program that runs other programs under a
pseudo terminal. To make your analysis and understanding of this code even easier, and to allow you to modify it, all of the
code in the book is available via UUNET.

A 20-page appendix provides detailed function prototypes for all the UNIX, POSIX, and ANSI C functions that are
described in the book, and lists the page on which each prototype function is described in detail. Additional tables
throughout the text and a thorough index make Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment an invaluable
reference tool that all UNIX programmers - beginners to experts - will want on their bookshelves.

Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment is applicable to all major UNIX releases, especially System V
Release 4 and the latest release of 4.3BSD, including 386BSD. These real-world implementations allow you to more
clearly understand the status of the current and future standards, including IEEE POSIX and XPG3.
