It also highlights the most important options for using the vast number of Linux commands. You'll find many helpful new tips and techniques in this reference, whether you're new to this operating system or have been using it for years.Get the Linux commands for system administration and network management Use hundreds of the most important shell commands available on Linux Understand the Bash shell command-line interpreter Search and process text with regular expressions Manage your servers via virtualization with Xen and VMware Use the Emacs text editor and development environment, as well as the vi, ex, and vim text-manipulation tools Process text files with the sed editor and the gawk programming language Manage source code with Subversion and git

For programmers, system architects, and technical programmer managers. Providing an overview of the Solaris and POSIX multithreading architectures, this book explains threads at a level that is completely accessible to programmers and system architects with no previous knowledge of threads. Covers the business and technical benefits of threaded programs, along with discussions of third party software that is threaded, pointing out the benefits.

This is the eBook version of the printed book.No matter how you approach it, Linux debugging will always be complex. The first part of this Short Cut examines some of these complexities as they relate to kernel debugging and present ideas and methods to improve your debugging skills, inside the kernel itself and then inside device drivers. You begin by learning to use Kernel GNU Debugger (KGDB) to probe the kernel. But because you cannot debug very early kernel startup code with KGDB, we also show you how to work with a hardware debug probe. For the examples in this section, we use a unit manufactured by Abatron called the BDI-2000. Hardware debug probes are often called JTAG probes, because they use a low-level communications method first employed for boundary scan testing of integrated circuits defined by the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG).             In the second part of this Short Cut, we continue our coverage of GDB for debugging application code in user space. We extend our coverage of remote debugging and the tools and techniques used for this peculiar debugging environment.   This Short Cut includes Chapters 14 and 15 from the book Embedded Linux Primer by Christopher Hallinan (0-13-167984-8). As such, it contains references to earlier and later chapters that are not included in this Short Cut. Apart from these references, the Short Cut is fully self-contained and is an excellent choice for embedded Linux developers interested in learning both kernel-level and application-level debugging techniques.   Kernel Debugging Techniques 14.1    Challenges to Kernel Debugging    4 14.2    Using KGDB for Kernel Debugging    6      14.3    Debugging the Linux Kernel    14  14.4    Hardward-Assisted Debugging    53 14.5    When It Doesn't Boot    63 14.6    Chapter Summary    69   Debugging Embedded Linux Applications 15.1    Target Debugging    72 15.2    Remote (Cross) Debugging    73 15.3    Debugging with Shared Libraries    80 15.4    Debugging Multiple Tasks    87 15.5    Additional Remote Debug Options    97 15.6    Chapter Summary    99

49001-1 The only guide to UNIX network programming APIs you'll ever need! Whether you write Web servers, client/server applications, or any other network software, you need to understand networking APIS-especially sockets in greater detail than ever before. You need UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition. In this book, leading UNIX networking expert W. Richard Stevens offers unprecedented, start-to-finish guidance on making the most of sockets, the de facto standard for UNIX network programming-as well as extensive coverage of the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI). Stevens begins by introducing virtually every basic capability of TCP and UDP sockets, including socket functions and options, I/O multiplexing, and name and address conversions. He presents detailed coverage of the Posix.1g standard for sockets and the Posix threads. He also introduces advanced techniques for: *Establishing IPv4/IPv6 interoperability. *Implementing non-blocking I/O. *Routing sockets. *Broadcasting and multicasting. *IP options. *Multithreading. *Advanced name and address conversions. *UNIX domain protocols. *Raw sockets.Learn how to choose among today's leading client/server design approaches, including TCP iterative, concurrent, preforked and prethreaded servers. Master the X/Open Transport Interface, including XTI TCP clients and servers, name and address functions, options, streams and additional functions. The Internet/intranet revolution has dramatically increased the demand for developers with a sophisticated understanding of network programming APIs, especially sockets. One book contains all you need to know: UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition.

DESCRIPTION: Linux Graphics Programming with SVGAlib is a complete reference for programmers, developers, and students who wish to integrate the functionality of this remarkable graphics library with their own Linux programs. Through demonstration and code examples given in the book, even those with limited C/C++ programming skills will learn to create full-screen graphical masterpieces such as games and stunning 3D displays. Readers will learn graphics theory and application using SVGA lib, how to port existing code to SVGA lib, animate images, plot pixels, lines and shapes, implement graphics routines, read and write to GIFs and JPGs, understand fonts, and explore fractals. The accompanying CD-ROM includes code from the book, software tools, and SVGAlib-based games such as Hexen, Doom, and Quake.
