Out of date lecture notes with what looks like a bias for HP-UX. There are better sources of information.
- daleharvey 17y agocan you provide the links to the better sources? otherwise this isnt a very useful comment.
- acg 17y agoSorry, I was trying to be concise. I'll aim to be useful. I think the guide as it is, is not only old but incomplete and mostly points to man pages. It's saving grace is the examples, which could easily be taken from a code search. The Stevens Unix network programming is a better source if you have it. Vendor documentation is often better too. Say you were interested in SYSV IPC: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/LDP/programmers-guide/lpg-0.4.pdf http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/LDP/programmers-guide/... http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/alp-folder/alp-ch05-ipc.pdf http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/alp-folder/alp-ch05-... http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/named_pipes.html http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/named_pipes.html http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-ipc/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-ipc/ Working code like the APR is worth reading for portability issues, particularly with sockets. I'm sure there are many other examples. Given all this would you really use this guide when writing code?
