I just think that this text is quite old. Did Posix exist during the
publishing of this book? I'm more concerned about the Posix standards and
how it has changed Unix programming. RStevens' Unix Network Programming
Second Edition is a total rewrite of the original edition. He mentioned the
new developments in Unix programming, more specifically Posix standards. Is
there a book or online reference on Posix updates on Unix programming? Now
that he's dead, I don't think there'll be an APUE Second Ed...
