A good book on C interface to linux is by Stevens. - Advanced Unix programming, which talks abt almost all library calls.

Hi,
Where is the best place to look for information on stuff like dlopen() etc, which are Linux specfic ??
man 3 dlopen & info libc. dlopen is userspace btw.
Regards, Animesh.
What I mean is, how are these functions classified ?
i.e I dont think they are system calls.
Similarly, I suppose, that there may be many other C interfaces to linux capabilities, which are not part of the standard C libraries, or Unix System calls , or even POSIX ??
Since I do not even know what catogary these calls fall into, I cant even do a web search :-(
Thanks for any advice Shahed
