Linux Systems Programming

Linux Systems Programming

 

OVERVIEW
Linux Systems programming involves working with hardware adapted (eg. x86_64 AMD) kernel interface and abstractions packaged in a userland library and runtime eg. GNU C library (glibc) and made programmatically available via a toolchain such as GNU compiler collection (g++) for a specific programming language (eg C++).
