A complementary reference to UNIX System V Commands, this volume provides detailed descriptions of all UNIX System V systems calls, organized in a accessible format that permits swift location of a system call even when the name of the call is unknown. This book should be of interest to beginner and experienced (as a refresher on some system calls) programmers; those in software houses selling UNIX systems; UNIX software application developers; and undergraduate and postgraduate students.
