This book is a Solaris systems that all programmers want on their shelf. Sun Microsystems Solaris Operating Environment boasts a significant installed base, but the intricacies of programming in the UNIX environment have not been addressed in book form. In this new comprehensive book, the author of a context that gives the reader can better understand the intricacies of the Solaris operating environment. It explains not only how, but also the. . .

I am recommending Thomas E. Dickey ’s Web site to anyone with an open mind to decide on this question.

Despite the claim on the back of the book is far from the tradition of Richard Stevens Advanced Programming in the UNIX environment. ” Unlike APUE really enlightened, the reader is compatible with all types of mobility, historical and general information, tar book is not much more than a description of the API Solaris.
Many examples will not work without modification on Linux, BSD, or other platforms. It will not be a big help to a novice Unix programmer, if he does not actually write Solaris-only programs – not a typical scenario in the Unix / POSIX world. But most of an experienced programmer can simply use the Solaris manual pages for most of the information contained in the book.
Also, the book contains one of the examples of the stupid code I’ve ever seen: a snprintf () emulation by vsprintf (), then checking its return value to see If enough buffer was big, even with a message of leave errors:
int snprintf (char * buf, size_t n, const char * fmt ,…) ([.. . vsprintf]
len = (buf, fmt, ap); [...]
if (len> = n)
err_quit ( “snprintf: ‘% s created ‘a buffer, fmt);
But if such an overflow is actually run by an attacker on the stack, vsprintf () did not decrease, so that the control useless. The code thus gives a false sense of security. This could serve as even more dangerous than the code that is not controlled /> overflow at all, especially in connection with a book.

This is an excellent book for writing in C on the Solaris UNIX platform. If you’re familiar with Unix Network Programming “(Stevens, Fenner, and Rudoff) and” pre-programming in the UNIX Environment “(Stevens), then you are comfortable with this band. Be all contain excellent documentation and good examples, as well own format of Nice. While restoring Solaris, much of it in other Unix environments. If you are using Solaris, you will want this book.
The text is clear and simple Read on to find things easier and use, making you more productive. There are 1200 + pages, but you would think. The paper is thin but durable one character (for publication) quality and is part of the other specialist publications. < is; br />
This book really has a ton of things in it. The individual 64-bit programming on library function documentation for the programming. The sections on the I / O, complete and detailed – could be there is more information about network programming (the author also refers to the same “UNIX Network Programming”, which I mentioned, so that it c) is a good sign. However, communication between processes is treated very well have been (eg, pipes, FIFOs, message queues, semaphores and shared memory).
The plants have some useful information. In addition to a summary function, the section on internationalization and surprisingly good-looking statements. The Exercises will be as a text in class / useful to refer to.
The book can already replace several books on my shelf. Just a wonderful book for your reference.

I was very disappointed that a book that “in the tradition of W. Richard Stevens demands,” adds little or no value beyond what Studied APUE the original (and now APUE2!) Generations of Unix programmers for many years. I had already bought a blow backup APUE on my shelf for a year and recently APUE2 () with * real * APUE second edition. Given SSP is very, very, very similar APUE I do not see the value of the purchase of another book, not that has much value beyond what I am to understand from me APUE with textbooks, and Solaris.
When Rich Teer was in his demands sincere admiration for Stevens, it would actually be borrowed for the majority of the “content – and not credited not only ethically questionable, if an author, but really disrespectful to a legend who is no longer here to defend himself. do
If you really Solaris Systems Programming, do yourself a favor – stay you want a copy of the APUE2 (ISBN: 0201433079), read the man pages for Solaris and stroll about the developers. Sun. com
