- Hi.
- A friend of mine asked me to put this question on a C related
- group, about finding appropriate books on this subject.
-
- If you could Email either me (groberts@coventry.ac.uk) or
- him directly (Robert.Daulton@scl.com), that would be great.
-
- Cheers.
- Gareth.

- I need a dammned good C book that covers topics related to UNIX low level
- system calls, such as signals, forks, ipc, threads, sockets, pipes,
- networks, interrupts, files and so on.
- Essentially, the more it covers all those mysterious header files which
- exist in /usr/include, /usr/include/sys, /usr/local/include, and others,
- then all the better. By the way, I dont want anything which just
- regurgitates the UNIX man pages. I want a friendy, understandable
- discussion on how to write C programs which can take advantage of these
- objects. I also know that some of these header files are OS specific,
- but a hell of a lot aren`t, so there must be a book somewhere which
- covers this stuff.
-
- Thanks for any help...
-
- Rob.
