Rich Stevens’ pioneering work, this third edition of the classic was updated by Steve Rago, a colleague of Stevens, to reflect technical advances and best practices aligning with Version 4 of the Single UNIX Specification. This edition covers more than seventy interfaces including: POSIX asynchronous I/O Spin locks Barriers POSIX semaphores Steve carefully retains the spirit and approach that have made this book so valuable, starting with files, directories, and processes, carefully laying the groundwork for more advanced techniques, such as signal handling and terminal I/O. And he thoroughly covers threads and multithreaded programming, and socket-based IPC. Filled with examples, case-studies, and access to thousands of lines of downloadable code, Advanced Programming in the UNIX® Environment has helped generations of programmers write code with exceptional power, performance, and reliability. Review: Enjoyable guide to Advanced Unix - A classic! Nicely updated. I bought it for the C style used in the examples. Fortunately, they are readable on the iPad Air. In some titles the examples are just 8x8 bit maps, and worthless. It's a nice easy intro into more advanced programming. Beware, the first chapter is mostly a review of Unix history and standards, which I found almost lethally boring, maybe others find it interesting. I consult this edition when revisiting an area I don't use every day, knowing It will give me a solid base to elaborate on. Review: ... for two years (four times) and I am very happy with it - I have been teaching a course in advanced Unix based on this text for two years (four times) and I am very happy with it. It is thorough, clearly explaining the main features while drawing attention to possible problems and pitfalls. It is a bit hefty, but one need not cover it all in a course. I choose chapters 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 15, 16, 18, 14, 11, 12 and then go off to show shell scripting, which is not covered in this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #104,279 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Unix Programming #5 in Unix Operating System #13 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 261 Reviews | ## Images ![Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, 3rd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dfQT21HzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable guide to Advanced Unix *by A***R on July 27, 2014* A classic!
