This book uses a horizontal format to allow for exhaustive cross-referencing and space for easy-to-read columns of code. The book is divided into two parts: code and commentary. The code is listed and numbered sequentially and corresponds to the commentary in the second part of the book.
In addition, the commentary is cross-referenced back to the code in the first part of the book. It covers the newest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel, plus the five main subsystems of the Linux kernel:
- Memory Manager
- Virtual File System
- Process Scheduler
- Network Interface
- Inter-Process Communication
The complementary CD includes the Linux code (RedHat) and software.
