Linux System Programming using C and C++ (Practical Approach)

Practical approach to Linux Unix system programming using c and c++ programming language like fork thread semaphore IPC

What you'll learn

Student should be able to write their own system call and utilize existing system call on Linux/Unix to create system software.
Student should be able to understand Unix/Linux/Mac/Windows system in greater details
It would also help to brush up the C coding skills of students
For existing developer it would help them in writing better code, free from memory leaks and other resource leaks.
Covers the practical aspect of system programming and gives a handson experience with System call

Requirements

Student should be familiar with C or C++ programming language
Understanding or handling or PC and setup of environment and compiler would help

Description

The course deals which in-depth understanding of system programming on Posix
Compliant system like Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, Windows and Free BSD.

Learn to code in c and c++ for system programming and visualize how linux or Unix works.
Become a better programmer and have upper hand compare to other students.

Setup development environment to compile and debug c and c++ code.
System programming are the basic building blocks and the underlying foundation on which any user APP is built upon hence this course deals with significant details about

Calls like:-

Fork and its family

Pthread and its use, as well as different variants, parameter passing etc.

File operation and IO Handling unbuffered

File operation using buffered call like fopen, fwrite, fread, fseek, ftell, rewind

Reading and writing to console as well as file.

Buffered IO versus unbuffered IO

Socket Programming.

Semaphore, Mutexes and how to make a program thread safe.

How to write a producer, consumer application.

Directory and file navigation

Signal Handling

Alarm Signals

Kill process signal

How system call works and how to implement a system call and interface with Kernel

Helps in better handling of C or C++ language

Emphasize students to write Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows Course in concise and succinct way without memory leaks or resource leaks.

Who this course is for:

System developer or programmer who wants to understand the nitty gritty of OS and underlying architecture
Programmer who wants to know in details how the Posix API works.
