Many Thanks, Heather Fox, Community Relations --3rd Ed., "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by Rich Stevens & Stephen Rago; **SUMMARY: For more than 20 years, serious C programmers have relied on this book for practical, in-depth knowledge of the programming interfaces that drive the UNIX and Linux kernels. Now, once again, Stevens' colleague Steve Rago has thoroughly updated this classic work to support today's leading platforms, reflect new technical advances and best practices, and to align with Version 4 of the Single UNIX Specification. This edition covers more than seventy new interfaces, including POSIX asynchronous I/O, spin locks, barriers, and POSIX semaphores. Most obsolete interfaces have been removed, except for a few that are ubiquitous.
