Inhaltsangabe

Provides details of how UNIX interacts with applications, for systems programmers writing an application from scratch or porting an application to any System V.4 platform. Presents simple functions and concepts supported by numerous code fragment examples and short demonstration programs. Code examples become building blocks for application program examples illustrating more advanced functions. Emphasizes Solaris, HP-UX 10, and IRIX 5.3 UNIX implementations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David A. Curry is the manager of the UNIX Systems Programming Group at the Purdue University Engineering Computer Network, where he's responsible for system software maintenance and development, system security work, and network and host configuration management. Dave received a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Purdue University in 1993. Dave began his UNIX systems programming career at the Purdue University Engineering Computer Network from 1985 through 1988. He then moved to California where he worked for the Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science at NASA Ames Research Center and the Information, Telecommunications, and Automation Division at SRI International in Menlo Park. Following his marriage in 1991, Dave decided that he really hated living in California and returned to the Midwest and Purdue University. Dave is a member of the Purdue Computer Emergency Response Team (PCERT), a FIRST member team. Since 1992, he has served as PCERT's representative to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). In 1993, Dave was named the chair of the FIRST Incident Response Tools Working Group, which develops expertise with tools for use by incident response teams worldwide. In 1994, he produced the FIRST Security Tools and Techniques CD-ROM, a collection of security tools and papers from around the Internet. He also serves on the FIRST Communications Working Group.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Any program worth its salt uses operating system services. Even the simplest program is likely to read input and produce output, and most real-world applications have more complex needs. They need to check the data and time, use the network, or start and communicate with other processes. "Systems programming" really means nothing more than writing software that uses these operating system services. UNIX Systems Programming for SVR4 gives you the nitty gritty details on how UNIX interacts with applications. Whether you're a student, system administrator, or software developer, if you're working on any System V Release 4 platform, you'll find this book indispensable. The book contains many extended examples on topics ranging from string manipulation to network programming. These examples can serve as starting points for your own applications. In addition to AT&T's release of SVR4, this book pays special attention to the three most important commercial UNIX implementations: Sun Microsystems' Solaris, Hewlett Packard's HP-UX 10, and Silicon Graphics' IRIX 5.3. It also includes notes on porting software from BSD UNIX to SVR4.
