[ILUG] System programming POSIX

[Braun Brelin]

James,

The best starting points for this are the books by W. Richard Stevens
(Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, and
his network programming series).

The kernel is a difficult and confusing place, and I wouldn't suggest going
there until you have a decent
background in the UNIX system calls and library calls.

You can also look at the man pages in sections 2 and 3 of the UNIX manual.
