Linux System Programming

This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use of the system you're running on -- code that interfaces directly with the kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor, compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. Written primarily for engineers looking to program (better) at the low level, this book can give any programmer an understanding of core internals that makes for better code, no matter where it appears in the stack.
