libc walkthrough?
Morning all, Ok, I know that The Bible for *BSDs is "TDaIotFOS", but STR from a glance at the 4.3 version that it is very kernel-oriented. I'd like to get started by porting a few userland apps (have my sights on cdparanoia for starters), so was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book to introduce newbies to the BSD C library - I know the manpages are more up to date, but I can't read them on the bus.. Local bookshops here in Cardiff are finally filling up with as much gcc related books as Visual C++, but they're all quite Linux focussed. (Or is there little difference from a userland point of view)? Thanks for any pointers. -- Rasputin Jack of All Trades :: Master of Nuns To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment (Stevens) would probably be a reasonable place to start. David.
