Specification. Steve carefully retains the spirit & approach that have made this book so valuable. Building on Richs pioneering work he begins with files directories & processes carefully laying the groundwork for more advanced techniques such as signal handling & terminal I/O. He also thoroughly covers threads & multithreaded programming & socket-based IPC. This edition covers more than seventy new interfaces including POSIX asynchronous I/O spin locks barriers & POSIX semaphores. Most obsolete interfaces have been removed except for a few that are ubiquitous. Nearly all examples have been tested on four modern platforms: Solaris 10 Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Darwin 10.8.0 ) Free BSD 8.0 & Ubuntu version 12.04 (based on Linux 3.2).
