Unix Network Programming
The series serves as a personal reference — a collection of notes, exercise solutions, and project work compiled while studying this book. It is not intended as a standalone tutorial, so the language and structure may not follow a conventional teaching format. Some answers may contain minor errors or be incomplete; if you come across any, I'd appreciate it if you could reach out via email. All content is written by me, so it may read more like working notes than polished documentation.
Description
The repo contains implementation of various code fragments provided in the text. Each Program can be run individually by navigating to the directory and preparing the executable.
Understanding the Code
The code contains the comments from the text as well as my intrepretation of the code and its behavior. Most sub-directories has a usage.txt file which shows how to run the program. Those which lack this file has the usage described in one of the source file. Along with the usage, the code is written to be as self-explainable as possible.
About the Book
The book Unix Network Programming provides various case studies that showcase ~15,000 source code written in C (along with comments). The book is well crafted and describes various functionality provided by System V as well as 4.3BSD for network programming. Unfortunately, W.R. Stevens is no longer with us, but his contribution still is of great use for many learners. To learn more about him, and check out this website.
