"Networking Applications of UNIX System V", Padovano, 1993, 0-13-613555-2
padovano@remus.rutgers.edu
As the title implies, this text is primarily of use to those studying
the System V Release 4 variant of UNIX (descended from the AT&T
family), which also covers implementations such as Solaris 2. The
STREAMS model is introduced, and while TCP/IP, UUCP and NFS are
covered, it is from an SVR4 perspective.
Within these limits, the book is clear, well organized, and complete.
Each chapter contains a well-chosen bibliography, and a challenging
set of exercises.
The text concentrates on functions rather than applications. This is
a departure from a number of recent texts which present the concepts
within a framework of a larger program, but the code presented is
ample to illustrate the points being made.
