In this completely revised second edition of the perennial best seller How Linux Works, creator Brian Ward makes the concepts in the back of Linux internals accessible to anyone curious about the inner workings of the operating system. Inside, you’ll find the type of knowledge that most often comes from years of experience doing things the hard way. You’ll learn:

–How the kernel manages devices, device drivers, and processes
–How networking, interfaces, firewalls, and servers work
–How development tools work and relate to shared libraries
–How to write effective shell scripts

You’ll also explore the kernel and examine key system tasks inside user space, including system calls, input and output, and filesystems. With its combination of background, theory, real-world examples, and patient explanations, How Linux Works will teach you what you want to know to solve pesky problems and take keep an eye on of your operating system.
