Book Description:
Thorough and authoritative, this book contains comprehensive coverage of the sockets API, the defacto standard for network programming. Once the basics are covered, the author moves on to advanced sockets topics, including IPv4 and IPv6 interoperability, UNIX domain protocols, non blocking I/O, broadcasting, multicasting, threads and routing sockets. Client/server design alternatives are also fully examined.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
W. RICHARD STEVENS is author of UNIX Network Programming, First Edition, widely recognized as the classic text in UNIX networking. He is also the author of Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment and the TCP/IP Illustrated Series. He is an acknowledged UNIX and networking expert, sought-after instructor, and occasional consultant.
New to this Edition:
microcontrollers The only guide to UNIX network programming APIs you'll ever need!
  • Whether you write Web servers, client/server applications, or any other network software, you need to understand networking APIS—especially sockets in greater detail than ever before. You need UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition.
  • In this book, leading UNIX networking expert W. Richard Stevens offers unprecedented, start-to-finish guidance on making the most of sockets, the de facto standard for UNIX network programming—as well as extensive coverage of the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI).
  • Stevens begins by introducing virtually every basic capability of TCP and UDP sockets, including socket functions and options, I/O multiplexing, and name and address conversions. He presents detailed coverage of the Posix.1g standard for sockets and the Posix threads. He also introduces 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.
  • Raw sockets.
