Prerequisites
Good knowledge of UNIX/Linux system and C programming language.

Practical details
Hands-on work
Progressive practicals and case studies will enable you to fully understand the presentation of the UNIX/Linux system programming interface.

Course schedule

1
Development method and tools

  • The linux distributions, open source software, licenses.
  • Compilers and associated tools, profilers and debuggers.
Hands-on work
Use of GDB, cscope and profiling with a simple application.

2
Processes

  • The UNIX processes, scheduling processes, priorities and processor affinity.
  • Live and death of a process. Fork, exec, exit and wait.
  • Security issues. Root and standard user, user ids.
  • Namespaces and application mobility.
Hands-on work
Creation of a simple multi-process application. Tests of some security issues like process running wild and handling with setrlimit(2).

3
Posix Threads

  • Programing with threads. Overview of Posix 1c threads.
  • Thread creation and termination. Thread scheduling.
  • Synchronizing Threads. Mutex and data protection, priority inversion.
  • Condition variable and flow control. Using signals and threads.
Hands-on work
A simple multi-thread application using mutexes and condition variables.

4
Files and filesystems

  • File handling.
  • Filesystems. Accessing metadata. Accessing directories.
  • I/O Multiplexing. Using poll and select.
  • Signals and events with multiplexed I/O
Hands-on work
A small program using fcntl(2) for file locking and accessing a directory.

5
Inter Process Communication

  • Message queues.
  • Shared memory.
  • Semaphores. Handling multiple semaphore sets.
  • Pipes. Standard I/O redirections.
  • Signals. UNIX signals implementation.
Hands-on work
Implementation of a client/server use case with the help of various technologies: message queues, shared memory and semaphores, pipes and signals.

6
Network

  • Socket Interface.
  • Address and protocol management. TCP/IP interface.
  • Network daemons.
  • mplementation of network servers and super servers.
Hands-on work
Implementation of our client/server use case with the network interface.

7
Memory management and Time

  • Virtual memory.
  • Memory allocation.
  • Advanced use
  • Date and time. Timers and timeout.
  • Latencies and determinism.
Hands-on work
Test of various allocations schemes using malloc(3), brk(2) or mmap(2). Implementing good practice for real-time applications. Using the UNIX time interface to measure scheduling latency.

8
Advanced linker control

  • Security, real-time and multithreading.
  • Shared libraries.
Hands-on work
A multi-thread real-time application with a time share thread. Implementation of a memory allocation tracer with dlopen.
