Solaris Systems Programming Richard Teer This book describes the systems programming interface to the Solaris operating system. Like most operating systems, Solaris provides a huge number of services to programs. We describe many public interfaces, but unfortunately, despite our best intentions, we can't cover everything. The functions we describe in this text (nearly 540 of them) are documented in Sections 2 and 3 of the Solaris Reference Manual Collection. However, those manual pages do not provide background material and full examples: that is what this book provides. Purchase a copy at Amazon.com.
