From the Publisher: Detailed, in-depth discussions go right to the heart of the technical operation of major Linux subsystems. Contains numerous diagrams and flowcharts that clarify complex relationships among the components of the Linux architecture. Covers sound and graphics programming, programming I/O ports, C programming, message queues, memory management, code debugging, porting applications to Linux, and other related Linux programming topics. Shares details of the kernel architecture virtual file systems, system and subsystem structure, network dependencies, network interface, plus more. Published with full support of the contributors to the LDP. Provides a topical organization to the programming portions of the Linux Documentation project (LDP), which is a series of existing documents on the Internet that currently has no index, comprehensive table of contents, or pagination, therefore, making it difficult to search and find needed information. (This information is freely publishable under the terms of the GNU license.) The LDP is a collaborative effort of approximately 30 leaders in the Linux industry to provide a central location for Linux documentation. Never before has the entire LDP been published in printed book form. 5% of Coriolis proceeds will be donated back to the open source industry! Saves time otherwise spent downloading large pdf files the format in which the online documentation is available.
