Module 4: Linux System Programming using Process, IPC, Synh and Threads
Abstract:
Linux System programming is the activity of programming computer system software. It aims to produce software and platforms which provide services to other applications, operating system and hardware. The system software also manages running of the system. System programming requires a great degree of hardware awareness and c programming skills. Its goal is to achieve optimal use of available hardware and software resources. The training module covers various aspects of learning with respect to developing efficient Linux based system software.
