| Abstract
|
:
|
C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming. This book provides a detailed walkthrough of the C, C++ and POSIX standards and enables a firm understanding of various system calls for UNIX systems. Topics include console and file IO, memory management, sockets, time interface, process and thread management.
