Solaris' Systems Programming The first definitive guide to programming in the Solaris Operating Environment In the tradition of W. Richard Stevens' Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, this book offers comprehensive, practical guidance for systems programmers. It covers all versions of the Solaris OS, from 2.5 through 9 and is relevant to both SPARC ' and x86 platforms. From I/O to IPC, pseudo terminals to localization, and processes to doors, Rich Teer illuminates the unique features and subtleties of this environment as never before. As a former Sun Microsystems, Inc. consultant, long-time C programmer, and tech reviewer for Stevens' UNIX Network Programming, Teer is singularly well qualified to write this book. Using real-world case studies, code examples, and diagrams, he explains both the "how" and "why" of Solaris systems programming--helping any C programmer write efficient, reliable code. Coverage includes: Terminology and features used in Solaris systems programming Fundamentals: utility functions, file I/O, standard I/O library, date/time operations, users/groups, system information, resource limits, and secure C programming I/O in depth: files, directories, file systems, terminal I/O, and advanced I/O Processes and process control: UNIX process environments, relationships, signals, and daemon processes Interprocess communications: Pipes, FIFOs, System V IPC facilities, doors, and more Appendices on internationalization, localization, and BSD source compatibility Portability guidance: flags all features that are specific to Solaris(R)
Synopsis
This book is one that any Solaris systems programmer will want on their shelf. Sun Microsystems' Solaris Operating Environment boasts a significant installed base, but the intricacies of programming in this UNIX environment have been previously unaddressed in book format. In this thorough new book, the author provides context that allows the reader to better understand the subtleties of the Solaris Operating Environment. He explains not only the "how's" but also the "why's" of Solaris programming, complete with a brief history of the operating system. The result is a comprehensive text that Solaris practitioners will refer to time and again as they face and overcome the significant challenges of their everyday work.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
