LINUX系统编程（影印版）

　　《LINUX系统编程（影印版）》主要讨论如何编写Linux系统软件——代码位于底层，并且直接跟内核及核心系统程序库对话。《Linux系统编程》描述了使用标准接口包括使用Linux独有的高级接口时，在功能和性能之间如何进行权衡取舍的策略。该书同样也是一本内行人士编写灵活高效代码的学习指南。作为内核黑客和《LINUX系统编程（影印版）》的作者，RobertLove不仅阐释了系统接口应该如何工作，还介绍了它们实际上是如何工作的，以及怎样安全有效地使用它们。《Linux系统编程》包含了帮助你在任何层面编写更佳代码的实用技巧。《LINUX系统编程（影印版）》主题包括：读写文件以及其他文件I／O操作，包括Linux内核如何实现和管理文件I／O，内存映射与优化技术；进程管理的系统调用，包括实时进程；文件与目录——创建、移动、复制、删除和管理；内存管理——内存分配接口，管理内存，以及优化内存访问；信号及其在unix系统中的角色，以及基本和高级信号接口；时间、休眠和时钟管理，从基础开始讲述，并且涵盖POSIX时钟和高精度计时器拥有《Linux系统编程》，你将从理论和应用的角度深入了解Linux，可以最大限度地利用系统的潜能。

　　Robert Love很早就成为一位Linux用户和黑客。他一直并且充满激情地活跃在Linux内核与GNOME桌面社区之中。他近来为Linux内核作出的贡献包括内核事件层方面的工作以及inotify，GNOME相关的贡献包括Beagle、GNOME卷管理器、网络管理器以及Project utopia等。目前，Roberlt供职于Google开源软件办公室。
