I want a comprehensive one which touches upon all aspects of C in Linux.
Hey Dinesh, Prog. in Linux consists of: Programming using Processes 1. fork ,exec sys call where C is used. 2. signals, 3. Synchronization Mechanism i.e semaphore, mutex, condition variable. 4. IPC: pipe, fifo, shared mem.
These are basic things one shd know. Apart from that, there is something called THREADS which requires knowledge of PTHREAD prog.

Could you guys please suggest me a good book for C programming in Linux? I want a comprehensive one which touches upon all aspects of C in Linux. I have enquired with TATA McGraw Hill and they don't have one. The only book they have is Complete reference to C.
Thanks.

Thanks Hemendra and Animesh for your advice. I think I will purchase the Beginning Linux Programming. I had just one question, where do I purchase it from? Do we have an eastern economy edition for the same?
Regards, Dinesh.

but theres nothing like having a real paper book in hand - unless you have two monitors, one for the documentation and the other for the code. I thought that i was a throwback for preferring paper, but the other day, at a meeting of quite a few good hackers, I found most of them of the same view

If you plan to gain a lot from the book, paper is the thing to go for. Opening a book is much easier than opening a lappy ;).

British Council Library has lost its attraction. There arent any REAL technical books in that library anymore :( At a time it was wonderful but now its just useless >:(

I've never been able to read off paper. It just feels extremely boring.

I seem to remember "Reading Comprehension" questions in most years. Of course, they didn't check if you actually read what you had to comprehend. :)

Doesn't that depend on what you are reading? Manuals and quick references online, in depth stuff like Knuth and Tennenbaum on paper.

Well... the authors are highly acclaimed, and they introduce concepts they introduce concepts very well. But then as the title suggests, you need to do some reading on OS, Systems Programming and C itself before you can start digesting what's written.
Have fun,

Yes, but there is another problem. Each chapter is in a separate PDF. They could've put the whole book in one big PDF....
