Résumé
- Adopts and extends the method used by the famous
Lion's Commentary on Unix, (ISBN
1-57398-013-7) which still is a much sought after title
even 20 years after publication.
- Uses a horizontal format (11” x 8 3/8” trim
size) which allows for exhaustive cross-referencing, space
for easy-to-read columns of code, and the book to stay flat
while open.
- Over 39,000 lines of code are excerpted and explained
in detail.
- Includes extensive cross-referencing and architectural
flow charts to enhance understanding of the structure of
the code.
- Linux Core Kernel Commentary is currently the
only commentary-style book available on the Linux core
kernel.
- Covers the newest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel,
released in January 1999.
- Includes the Linux code.
- Includes software that allows the code to be easily
searched for specific features.
Linux Core Kernel Commentary is divided into two
parts: code and commentary. The code is listed and numbered
sequentially and corresponds to the commentary in the
second part of the book. In addition, the commentary is
cross-referenced back to the code in the first part of the
book.
Covers the following main subsystems of the Linux kernel:
Memory Manager, Process Scheduler, and Inter-Process
Communication. Also covers interrupts, signals, system
initialization, symmetric multiprocessing, and the sysctl
interface.
