Описание: In Working With Unix Processes you’ll learn simple, powerful techniques that can help you write your own servers and debug your full stack when things go awry. The techniques and methods that give you primitives for concurrency, daemons, spawning processes, and signals transcend programming languages and have been used unchanged for decades. You can bet they’ll be relied upon for years to come.
The book takes an incremental approach. It begins with the very basics of Unix processes and system calls and builds all the way up to writing daemon processes and preforking servers. Once you’ve worked through the basics you’ll dive into two real-world projects, Unicorn and Resque, that make use of Unix processes.
This is not a book about Unix system administration or shell programming. This book covers the concepts and techniques that underlie tools like shells, servers, and daemons. It will help you understand the building blocks that these tools are built on.
