Overview of this book

Around 35 million Linux and almost 2 billion Android users rely on C++ for everything from the simplest embedded and IoT devices to cloud services, supercomputing, and space exploration. To help you produce high-quality software, two industry experts have transformed their knowledge and experience into practical examples in system programming with C++ Programming for Linux Systems. In this book, you'll explore the latest C++20 features, while working on multiple specific use cases. You’ll get familiar with the coroutines and modern approaches in concurrent and multithreaded programming. You'll also learn to reshape your thinking when analyzing system behavior in Linux (POSIX) environments. Additionally, you'll discover advanced discussions and novel solutions for complex challenges, while approaching trivial system operations with a new outlook and learning to choose the best design for your particular case. You can use this workbook as an introduction to system programming and software design in Linux or any Unix-based environment. You’ll also find it useful as a guideline or a supplement to any C++ book. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained advanced knowledge and skills for working with Linux or any Unix-based environment.

Introducing the system call interface and system programming

Of course, the example that we just saw is simplified but gives us some idea about the work that the OS needs to do – in essence, it is responsible for managing and providing resources, but at the same time remains available for other processes’ requests. This is a messy job on modern OSs. Rarely can we do anything about it. So, to have better control and predictability of system behavior, programmers might directly use the OS’s API, called the system call interface.

Important note

The NVM data request is a procedure that benefits from the system call interface, as the OS will be obliged to turn this request into an application binary interface (ABI) call, referring to the respective device driver. Such an operation is known as a system call. Using system calls to implement or execute functions provided by the OS is known as system programming. The system calls are the only entry points to the kernel...
