Preface
Linux system programming is all about developing system programs for the Linux operating system. Linux is the world's most popular open-source operating system and runs on everything from big servers to small Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Knowing how to write system programs for Linux will enable you to extend the operating system and connect it with other programs and systems.
We'll start by learning how to make our programs easy to script and easy to interact with other programs.
