From the Back Cover

From the Second Edition:
"If you intend to write kernel code or a kernel module, or just want to know how the kernel of a Linux system works, this book is an excellent source of information... I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about writing code or who wants to know what is in the Linux kernel."
-- Phil Hughes, Linux Journal

Since the introduction of Linux version 1.2 in March 1995, the reliability and flexibility of this free operating system has attracted a vast community of programmers from all over the world. Now at version 2.4, Linux is being successfully employed in commercial software development by internet providers and in research and teaching.

As the acknowledged leading reference on the subject, this third edition of Linux Kernel Programming is for anyone who requires a deeper understanding of the operating system. It explains the technology internals of the successful Linux OS, including:

  • memory management
  • the virtual file system switch
  • Linux device drivers
  • inter-process communication
  • networking

This third edition of Linux Kernel Programming:

  • has been thoroughly updated throughout to cover Linux 2.4
  • tells you all you need to know about the structure of the kernel, the heart of the Linux operating system.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains the Linux Kernel version 2.4.4, plus sources from other programs and documents from the Linux Documentation Project.
