Page 135
from the top to middle of page |
This page includes an example of a file-listing program, which uses the
stat() function to write file information to a variable struct "st."
Calls made to elements of struct "st" are written here as
st->{item} i.e. st->st_blocks
This causes the compiler to fail due to a syntactical error; since "st" is
a variable type struct, and not a pointer to variable type struct, the calls
should be written as
st.{item} i.e. st.st_blocks
So, long story short: on page 135, all "st->{something}" should be replaced
with "st.{something}"

Last paragraph |
"The daylight variable is non-zero if DST is in effect, zero otherwise"
This gives the impression that the daylight variable can be used in the
same was as the tm_isdst variable in a "tm" structure.
This incorrect, rather :
The daylight variable is non-zero if an alternate zone *exists* in
the current set timezone. ( e.g daylight is ALWAYS non-zero for TZ=EST5EDT )

below Handling Signals title |
it says that the prototype of signal function is:
void (*signal( int sig ,void( *disp)(int)))(int);
I think that it should be:
void (*signal( int sig ,void( *disp)(int)))();
This is the way it is in the man page on my machine.

In the section on Semaphores, a sentence reads:
"If key contains a non-zero value, msgget will either create...."
"msgget"
should be
"semget"
