Tapping into the powerful networking capabilities synonymous with UNIX operating systems, author Michael Padovano introduces you to the networking features of UNIX System V Release 4 - a state-of-the-art networking platform.
Padovano begins by showing how existing commands work and explains how to incorporate them into new applications. He then demonstrates how to use the lower-level SVR4 networking routines to create C programs that implement more sophisticated services. He also provides actual C code and shell scripts that implement SVR4 networking applications.
If you are interested in understanding how SVR4 networking utilities work and/or want to develop network applications using SVR4 routines like TLI, RPC, and Sockets, Networking Applications on UNIX System V Release 4 will be an indispensable addition to your classroom or personal reference library.
