Abstract

From the Publisher: Most C and C ++ programming books cover just the syntax of the languages, leaving it to the developers to figure out how to get their code to run in the UNIX environment. But getting an application to actually work in UNIX isn't an easy matter. Compiling programs, running the debugger, or building libraries in UNIX is different from compiling, debugging, and building libraries in Windows or the MacOS. The purpose of UNIX Programming Tools is to help developers understand those special requirements and demands. UNIX expert Foster-Johnson covers the entire software development process in UNIX, from the basics of compiling and linking, to automating development with make and imake, controlling version with revision control tools like RCS, and creating documentation for the UNIX man command as well as HTML Web pages. Whether you're new to UNIX or are a professional UNIX developer or you work in C or C++ or Java Tcl, and Perl, you'll find useful tips, time-saving techniques, and innovative tools in this essential book.
