I'd like to learn more about UNIX, so I'm interested in any good books that
are at the "intermediate" level. 2 which I have heard about are
Advanced UNIX Programming, Marc Rochkind
UNIX System Programming, K. Haviland & B. Salawa (?)
I went to my local bookstore, but they were out of both. I'll have to special
order them. Anyone out there familiar in these two? I'd rather not buy
both, so if one is demonstratively better than the other (in terms of
readability, style, and presentation of material, plus lots of examples) I'd
purchase that one.
The topics that I'm particularly interested in are:
Sys V IPC: message queues, named pipes, shared memory,
semaphores, record&file-locking
terminal devices, pty's
Can anyone recommend one or the other, or are there any other good books?
