DESCRIPTION:
Now, John Shapley Gray, author of the widely praised Interprocess Communicationin UNIX, Second Edition, zeroes in on the core techniques Linux uses to manage processes and IPC. Gray presents dozens of standalone program examples; all compiled with the GNU C/C++ compiler 2.96 & 3.2, and fullytested on PC platforms running Red Hat Linux 7.3 & 8.0. Includes extensive coverage of named/unnamed pipes, message queues, semaphores, and shared memory.Provides C++ classes for System V IPC facilities.Offers an in-depth introduction to socket-basedcommunication.Demystifies Linux's /proc file system.Illuminates the LinuxThreads POSIX threadimplementation and its use in multithreaded applications.Provides valuable tips and warnings, plus insight intokey differences amongst Linux and Unix implementations.Includes problem sets and illustrations designed toreinforce key concepts.

Great for Beginners! A Customer This book is an excellent introductory book for beginners simply because the author is extremely eloquent in explaining the nooks and crannies. The minor details expressed in-between the core topics covered actually serves to enhance your knowlege of how the OS works. I am taking a class in Advanced Unix Programming and find that by reading ahead of the lectures, I am always fully prepared to answer almost all the questions field. laoxiao said Great book on IPC topics for intermediate level. This book covers local IPC(pipes,lock files, locking files, semaphores,message queues and shared memory) and remote IPC(RPC, network sockets). It uses EXTENSIVE demo code to explain the concept which really helps you to master the design. This is a great book for both beginners and inter-mediate *nix programmers.highly recommend.. Four Stars Great, simple, and straight-forward book
