This book brings a topical organisation to the programming portions of the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). LDP is a series of existing documents on the Internet that currently has no index, comprehensive table of contents, or pagination, therefore making it difficult to search and find needed information.
This book is the first publication in print form to include the entire LDP. You will save hours otherwise spent downloading large PDF files - the format in which the online documentation is available. Detailed, in-depth discussion go right to the heart of the technical operation of major Linux subsystems while numerous diagrams and flowcharts clarify complex relationships among the components of the Linux architecture.
The book covers:
- Sound and graphics programming
- Programming I/O ports
- C programming
- Message queues
- Memory management
- Code debugging
- Porting applications to Linux
- Other related Linux programming topics
It shares details of the kernel architecture - virtual file systems, system and subsystem structure, network dependencies, and network interface.
