POSIX System Programming and Interface Fundamentals

The provided text is an extensive technical guide to the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), a set of standards designed to ensure application portability across various operating systems. It details the "Unix way" of managing system resources through a unified API, covering essential services such as low-level file I/O, process management, and asynchronous signal handling. The documentation explains the mechanics of concurrency via the Pthreads library and describes various Inter-Process Communication (IPC) methods like pipes, shared memory, and message queues. Furthermore, it addresses network programming using BSD sockets and the intricacies of memory mapping with mmap. Finally, the source highlights the differences between standardized POSIX functions and Linux-specific extensions like epoll, while offering best practices for avoiding common systems programming pitfalls.
