About The Advanced Programmer's Guide To Aix 3.X
The AIX operating system, together with the IBM RISC System/6000 platform, is a central part of IBM's drive towards open systems. A working knowledge of its features and its relationship to other UNIX variants is essential for understanding this dynamic environment. The Advanced Programmer's Guide to AIX 3.x gives a unique insight into the technical aspects of AIX 3.x, designed specifically for the systems programmer or UNIX professional. The scope of the book is comprehensive and features a detailed look at shell programming, including a reference guide to all three UNIX/AIX shells, the system call interface, inter-process communications, and a guide to the AIX development environment. In each case, the author clearly highlights the features that differ from standard UNIX and emphasizes the sophisticated details which arguably make AIX 3.x such an advance in the open systems arena, such as the system calls that enable dynamic linking of objects at run-time and load-time. This book will provide the reader with the technical basis and confidence to further develop and investigate AIX 3.x, and throughout the guide there is a carefully balanced use of theory and practice. Each section of theory is followed by details of actual implementation and a number of examples, exercises and questions, ensuring a thorough practical understanding of each area. Special features include specific, up-to-date focus on AIX 3.x; in-depth discussion of the differences and similarities between AIX 3.x, UNIX V.x and BSD 4.x; and worked examples and exercises at every stage.
