No offense. Just step back, count to ten and you'll understand my comment. A Unix/Linux programmer understands by "System Programming" a description of the System Interface - which is the collection of System Calls allowing you to program the System (read kernel). You show me in this book the description of ONE such call and I retract everything I said.
Sincerely yours,
Stephan.
p.s. Write this book - I would become your admirer!
