UNIX System V Network Programming

Don't miss this guide to building networked and distributed applications for UNIXr System V. Using many helpful examples, the author provides a solid introduction to networking and UNIX programming, plus information on the programming interfaces most important to building communication software in System V, such as STREAMS, the Transport Layer Interface library, Sockets, and Remote Procedure Calls. The book also explains how to write kernel-level communication software, including STREAMS drivers, modules, and multiplexors. A final chapter on SLIP is essential reading.

Stephen A. Rago, one of the Bell Laboratories developers who built UNIX System V, Release 4, currently works as a manger at EMC, specializing in file servers and file systems.
