“Michael’s inexhaustible determination to get his information right, and to
express it clearly and concisely, has resulted in a strong reference source for
programmers. While this work is targeted at Linux programmers, it will be of
value to any programmer working in the UNIX/POSIX ecosystem.”

“. . . a very thorough—yet easy to read—explanation of UNIX system and
network programming, with an emphasis on Linux systems. It’s certainly a
book I’d recommend to anybody wanting to get into UNIX programming (in
general) or to experienced UNIX programmers wanting to know what’s new
in the popular GNU/Linux system.”

“What could be better than an encyclopedic reference to the Linux system,
from the standpoint of the system programmer, written by none other than
the maintainer of the man pages himself?
The Linux Programming Interface
is
comprehensive and detailed. I firmly expect it to become an indispensable
addition to my programming bookshelf.”

“. . . the most complete and up-to-date book about Linux and UNIX system
programming. If you’re new to Linux system programming, if you’re a UNIX
veteran focused on portability while interested in learning the Linux way, or
if you’re simply looking for an excellent reference about the Linux program-
ming interface, then Michael Kerrisk’s book is definitely the companion you
want on your bookshelf.”

“Michael Kerrisk has not only written a great book about Linux programming
and how it relates to various standards, but has also taken care that bugs he
noticed got fixed and the man pages were (greatly) improved. In all three
ways, he has made Linux programming easier. The in-depth treatment of
topics in
The Linux Programming Interface
. . . makes it a must-have reference
for both new and experienced Linux programmers.”
