Networking Applications on Unix System V Release 4

Tapping into the powerful networking capabilities synonymous with UNIX operating systems, author Michael Padovano introduces you to the networking features of UNIX System V Release 4 - a state-of-the-art networking platform. Padovano begins by showing how existing commands work and explains how to incorporate them into new applications. He then demonstrates how to use the lower-level SVR4 networking routines to create C programs that implement more sophisticated services. He also provides actual C code and shell scripts that implement SVR4 networking applications. If you are interested in understanding how SVR4 networking utilities work and/or want to develop network applications using SVR4 routines like TLI, RPC, and Sockets, Networking Applications on UNIX System V Release 4 will be an indispensable addition to your classroom or personal reference library.

Taking a practical, hands-on approach, this source book gives readers step-by-step structured methods for creating network applications on UNIX System V Release 4. Using clear, easy-to-follow explanations, the guide shows readers how existing commands work, explains how to incorporate them into new programs that implement more sophisticated applications, and offers much more valuable coverage for building network applications.
