Résumé

Inferno Programming with Limbo is the first complete developer's guide to programming for the Inferno operating system. Developed at Lucent's Bell Labs, Inferno enables cross-platform, portable, distributed application development that is well suited for networked applications on resource constrained, embedded systems. Limbo is its programming language.

This book will provide you with an introduction to Inferno, and everything you need to know about building applications with Limbo.

The book focuses on the pragmatic aspects of developing Inferno applications with the Limbo language. It includes complete source code for several application examples, ranging from a text editor, file servers and network servers, to graphical applications such as games. Common programming pitfalls are revealed and in-depth analysis of complete sample applications are given.

Also covered in the text are sections on:

accessing Inferno system facilities from Limbo programs
building multi-threaded applications with Limbo
implementing user level file servers in Limbo
networking in Inferno and constructing networked applications in Limbo
graphical applications in Inferno
augmenting Limbo applications with modules written in the C programming language
cryptographic facilities provided by Inferno
tools for verification of concurrent multi-threaded programs, such as model checkers
relevant manual pages and Limbo module definitions
