Synopsis
-- The only source currently in existence that completely documents the Linux system library, which is comprised of over 1,800 functions-- Offers a concise thorough reference with comprehensive indices that are cross-referenced alphabetically and by subject matter-- Reviewed by Ullrich Drepper, the maintainer of the GlibC libraryThe GNU C library, abbreviated "GlibC", forms the basis for most Linux systems. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of all Linux programs call upon this library. UNIX implements many of these same functions, so this reference essentially documents the "Unix API" with Linux extensions.GlibC: A Comprehensive Reference to GNU/Linux libC is targeted mainly toward the Linux C and C++ programming audience, is valuable to programmers using other languages under other UNIX OS's, and is in demand by UNIX system administrators and their students. The Linux C API is a large collection of GNU, ANSI C, POSIX, X/Open, and other standards. This reference targets individuals interested in any of the functions in these standards.New Riders presents a complete reference guide that gives quick coverage to each of the 1,800 functions in the GNU C library and consists of an index of functions by category (networking, threading, string, etc), and then an alphabetical function listing.
