Well-implemented interprocess communications (IPC) are key to the performance of virtually every non-trivial UNIX program. In UNIX Network Programming, Volume 2, Second Edition, legendary UNIX expert W. Richard Stevens presents a comprehensive guide to every form of IPC, including message passing, synchronization, shared memory, and Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).

Stevens begins with a basic introduction to IPC and the problems it is intended to solve. Step-by-step you'll learn how to maximize both System V IPC and the new Posix standards, which offer dramatic improvements in convenience and performance.

In this book, the authors offer unprecedented, start-to-finish guidance on making the most of sockets, the de facto standard for UNIX network programming. The authors begin by introducing virtually every basic capability of TCP and UDP sockets, including socket functions and options, I/O multiplexing, and name and address conversions. They present detailed coverage of the Posix.1g standard for sockets and the Posix threads. They also introduce advanced techniques for: establishing IPv4/IPv6 interoperability, implementing non-blocking I/O, routing sockets, broadcasting and multicasting, IP options, multithreading, advanced name and address conversions, UNIX domain protocols, and raw sockets.

Teaches students how to choose among today's leading client/server design approaches, including TCP iterative, concurrent, preforked and prethreaded servers.

The Internet/intranet revolution has dramatically increased the demand for students graduating with a sophisticated understanding of network programming APIs, especially sockets. This book helps students achieve that goal.
