Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. High-level programming abstractions are comfortable, but they hide the true power of your operating system.Beneath your favorite libraries and frameworks lies the Linux kernel, the invisible engine that dictates the performance, security, and stability of your software. When applications fail under heavy load or suffer from mysterious memory leaks, treating the operating system as a black box is no longer an option. To build truly scalable and resilient software, you must cross the boundary between user space and kernel space.Essential System Calls Explained is a definitive guide designed to transition competent application developers into expert systems programmers. By stripping away user-friendly wrappers, this book reveals the raw, mechanical reality of how software interacts with physical hardware.Through clear explanations and practical C code examples, you will learn to command the machine directly. You will explore the universal file I/O model, bypassing kernel buffering for zero-copy data transfers. You will dismantle the process lifecycle, learning how to orchestrate parallel tasks, manage threads, and eliminate zombie processes.Inside, you will master the core concepts of Linux architecture: Direct Kernel Communication: Understand protection rings, hardware privilege levels, and the exact mechanics of crossing the user-kernel boundary.Memory Management: Go beyond standard allocation to manipulate virtual address spaces, handle page faults, and share memory between isolated programs.Interprocess Communication: Break down isolation barriers securely using pipes, FIFOs, and message queues to build high-speed data pipelines.Asynchronous Events: Handle unpredictable hardware interruptions and build unified, non-blocking event loops using advanced timers and signals.High-Performance Networking: Scale your architecture from a single local connection to thousands of concurrent clients using modern, event-driven socket programming.System Security: Protect your host operating system by dropping privileges securely and building inescapable computing sandboxes.Stop guessing why your high-level applications are bottlenecking. Learn the native language of the Linux kernel, take absolute control of your system resources, and elevate your software engineering career. This item is printed on demand.
