5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Reference Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied UNIX Programming Volume 2 (Bk/Disk) (Textbook Binding)
This is one of the best unix / c reference books I've seen. It covers everything in a consistent and clear manner. Very useful.

Invaluable reference,
This review is from: Applied UNIX Programming Volume 2 (Bk/Disk) (Textbook Binding)
This book contains everything you could ever want to know about every standard C library function. Yes, big chunks of it are copied verbatim out of the Unix MAN pages, but in many cases it is fleshed out with more information.The most invaluable part though is the example programs. Every single function, and I mean *every* single function, has an example program showing you exactly how to use it. And not just little code snippets, but each and every example is an entire program that will compile and run straight out of the box. It's especially useful when using some of the more advanced library calls, like socket programming, etc, as it illustrates exactly how the different functions interact. This is a book I always have at my side whenever I am programming. I couldn't work without it.

There is a new edition of this book available.
This book has nothing new to add as a teaching to advance programmers. The layout is also bad, it's more like a soup of information
