[comp.unix.questions] CAN YOU SUGGEST A BOOK ON IPC IN RESPECT TO UNIX SYSTEM V?

jdc@osupyr.UUCP (03/03/87)

Hello Net People:

     I need a "good" book that covers Inter Process Communication (IPC) within
the  UNIX  System  V  operating  system.  The program will be written in the C
language.    There is a strong chance that I will have to convert this program
to  BSD  at a later time.  Any suggestions where I might purchase such a book.
Does  anyone  have  any  suggestions on this subject, known pitfalls, space or
time saving ideas...

     Please indicate if you would like a copy of the list of recommended books
and/or information.

Thank you,
James D. Corder

If you have access to the AT&T UNIX System V Release 3 Programmer's Guide,
chapter 9 has about 100 pages dealing entirely with SV IPC's.  It seems like
a pretty reasonable guide.  If you should find anything better, please let
me know.
