Praise for Advanced Programming in the UNIX
®
Environment,
Second Edition
“Stephen Rago’s update is a long overdue benefit to the community of professionals
using the versatile family of UNIX and UNIX-like operating environments. It removes
obsolescence and includes newer developments. It also thoroughly updates the context
of all topics, examples, and applications to recent releases of popular implementations
of UNIX and UNIX-like environments. And yet, it does all this while retaining the style
and taste of the original classic.”
—Mukesh Kacker, cofounder and former CTO of Pronto Networks, Inc.
“One of the essential classics of UNIX programming.”
—Eric S. Raymond, author of The Art of UNIX Programming
“This is the definitive reference book for any serious or professional UNIX systems
programmer. Rago has updated and extended the classic Stevens text while keeping
true to the original. The APIs are illuminated by clear examples of their use. He also
mentions many of the pitfalls to look out for when programming across different UNIX
system implementations and points out how to avoid these pitfalls using relevant
standards such as POSIX 1003.1, 2004 edition, and the Single UNIX Specification,
Version 3.”
—Andrew Josey, Director, Certification, The Open Group, and
Chair of the POSIX 1003.1 Working Group
“Advanced Programming in the UNIX
®
Environment, Second Edition, is an essential
reference for anyone writing programs for a UNIX system. It’s the first book I turn to
when I want to understand or re-learn any of the various system interfaces. Stephen
Rago has successfully revised this book to incorporate newer operating systems such as
GNU/Linux and Apple’s OS X while keeping true to the first edition in terms of both
readability and usefulness. It will always have a place right next to my computer.”
—Dr. Benjamin Kuperman, Swarthmore College
