Those questions are at the center of this book. There are three cornerstones to system programming in Linux: system calls, the C library, and the C compiler. Each deserves an introduction. System Calls System programming starts with system calls. System calls (often shorted to syscalls) are ...
In this book, when I talk of gcc, I typically mean the program gcc, unless context suggests otherwise. The compiler used in a Unix system—Linux included—is highly relevant to system programming, as the compiler helps implement the C standard (see C Language Standards) and the system ABI ...
This book is for beginner to advanced Linux and general UNIX programmers working with C++, or anyone looking for a general overview of Linux, C++17, and/or systems programming with POSIX, C, and C++. Although this book covers a lot of topics on modern C++, its focus is on system program...
and semaphores * Explore modern Go features such as goroutines and channels that facilitate systems programming Book Description System software and applications were largely created using low-level languages such as C or C++. Go is a modern language that combines simplicity, concurrency, and performan...

In the Win32 application programming interface (API) a key value has two halves, with the high-order bits containing the key code (which is the same as a Windows virtual key code), and the low-order bits representing key modifiers such as the SHIFT, CONTROL, and ALT keys. Warning Do ...
1.1 Book Structure To represent a book in our library, we need to store several pieces of information: a unique ID, the title, author, genre, and the number of copies available. To manage multiple books, we will use a linked list of Book structures. Here’s the C code that defines th...
