C++ System Programming Cookbook

This is the code repository for C++ System Programming Cookbook , published by Packt.

Practical recipes for Linux system-level programming using the latest C++ features

What is this book about?

C++ is the preferred language for system programming due to its efficient low-level computation, data abstraction, and object-oriented features. System programming is about designing and writing computer programs that interact closely with the underlying operating system and allow computer hardware to interface with the programmer and the user. The C++ System Programming Cookbook will serve as a reference for developers who want to have ready-to-use solutions for the essential aspects of system programming using the latest C++ standards wherever possible.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Get up to speed with the fundamentals including makefile, man pages, compilation, and linking and debugging
• Understand how to deal with time interfaces, signals, and CPU scheduling
• Develop your knowledge of memory management
• Use processes and threads for advanced synchronizations (mutexes and condition variables)
• Understand interprocess communications (IPC): pipes, FIFOs, message queues, shared memory, and TCP and UDP
• Discover how to interact with the console (console I/O)

    developer->cheers();
    delete developer;
}

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for C++ developers who want to gain practical knowledge of systems programming. Though no experience of Linux system programming is assumed, intermediate knowledge of C++ is necessary.
