Re: Books Regarding Linux Kernel

[Aruna Hewapathirane <aruna.hewapathirane@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anil,

The book 'Linux Programming Interface' by Michael Kerrisk who is the Linux man-pages maintainer is full of useful examples and the breadth and depth of its coverage is remarkable.

When it comes to networking there is a book 'Linux Kernel Networking: Implementation and Theory' by Rami Rosen that is comprehensive and through.

It helps immensely once you understand the 'subsystems' first. This will help: http://kernelnewbies.org/Documentation/Subsystems

That being said if you truly want to 'understand' the kernel the best way is to start building your own and the best documentation I have found is the source itself :)

Good luck !
