[ale] C programing

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

Advance Programming in the UNIX environment is the best


Another good one is:


Linux Application Development by Johnson Troan


If you want to dive into Operating System programming take a look at:


Developing 16-bit and 32-bit Opertaing systems using COBOL 85 by Manuel Falso

?????????????? Not a direct answer to your question, but two indespensible
books will do you probably much more good than a mailing list:



?????? A Book On C : Programming in C, Fourth Edition
?????? By Kelley, Al / Pohl, Ira


?????? List Price: $42.95
?????? Published by Addison Wesley
?????? Date Published: 03/1998
?????? ISBN: 0201183994



?????? Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
?????? By Stevens, W. Richard


?????? List Price: $65.95
?????? Published by Addison Wesley
?????? Date Published: 06/1993
?????? ISBN: 0201563177



?????????????? The first is a really good introduction to C.?? It was used as
a textbook in a couple (IMSMR; at least one I'm sure) of CS courses I
took at Tech.?? The second is a must have if you're doing any serious
programming on any sort of *NIX box (also indespensable is the same
author's _UNIX Network Programming_ book).?? The first book will answer
any C syntax questions you have (like what the heck does something
like `a ^= b ^= a ^= b;' do? :), and the latter book will explain what 
system calls or library functions do whatever you're trying to do.
?????????????????????? 


?????? Ken> however most of my questions are like what is wrong with
?????? Ken> if(S_ISUID(statbuf.stat_mode)) which really isn't a C
?????? Ken> question it's a C/linux question. I know when I lived in


?????????????? It's more of a C/UNIX question, which APUE would answer.?? But
lacking that tome, just Use the Source, Luke:



lemur:~ 406> grep -h S_ISUID /usr/include/sys/*.h
#define S_ISUID __S_ISUID???????????? /* Set user ID on execution.?? */
[...]



?????????????? Also in this case, the stat(2) manual page provides the same
explanation.
