From its simple beginnings, Linux has emerged as a powerful server operating system with a remarkable desktop environment and user interface. Now, with Kylix, Linux developers have a powerful rapid application development tool for generating client-side applications. The Tomes of Kylix: The Linux API guides developers through the fundamental Linux system function calls and programming interfaces, covering the core aspects of Linux development from file processing and interprocess communication to threading issues and sockets. Each chapter focuses on a key Linux technology and provides an extensive reference to the relevant functions, along with a demonstration application. The Tomes of Kylix: The Linux API gives Kylix and Delphi developers an edge in creating robust real-time Linux applications.
The companion CD contains source code for the example applications and for the Linux API, along with Kylix Open Edition and Kylix 2 Trial Edition.
