There is another book that is much better than "The UNIX Programming
Environment" for this and it is called, "Advanced UNIX Programming" by Marc
J. Rochkind.  This book is also put out by Prentice Hall, and describes
the UNIX System call level more thoroughly than any other book I've
seen.  It's also very interesting bathroom reading...
