Additional resources
The excellent book
Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
by W. Richard Stevens (Addison-Wesley, 1992)
contains many source code examples, some of which are
used as the test programs for some of the Wrappers.
The directory util/apue in the Porting Wrappers contains
his main header file and library of utility functions
used in his code examples, for example, in error
reporting.
For an introduction, check out the
Programming and POSIX
seminar presented at Solutions Symposium 2000.
The book
POSIX Programmer's Guide
by Donald Lewine (O'Reilly, 1991) may also be useful.
The book
"The POSIX.1 Standard - A Programmer's Guide"
by Fred Zlotnick (Benjamin/Cummings, 1991)
appears to be out of print.
The
POSIX Standard
from IEEE contains very detailed specifications of
every POSIX function.
