The author provides a zip file with the source for all of the programs listed in each chapter, which is a real time saver. He also provides Makefiles, but the seem to need to be rewritten to be usable. Also, common.h and common.c are missing. I found a program that common.c provides, and wrote a functionally equivalent function, but I shouldn't have had to do that.
In a later chapter, I ran into missing code for WARN. Both WARN, and FATAL take variable parameter lists, like printf, so I replaced the FATAL routine with this definition:
#define FATAL printf
and similarly for WARN
#define WARN printf
so the code looks like its calling either FATAL or WARN, but it's actually just calling printf.
Whenever the author needs to use functionality from features described in later chapters, he tells what chapter that feature is described in; and he tells us what functionality that was used is out of the book's scope. He gives practical examples and explains why some system call or utility will dump core under certain situations.
My goal with this book is to get comfortable doing system programming - i.e. using functions that access kernel level functionality. It is a lot more detailed than my System Level Programmingon Unix book is. My next step will be to move into the kernel.
I'm only part-way into the book, and already it's worth the time I've spent on it.

There are no last two chapters (Appendix A and B), are you kidding? 774 pages instead of 794, no color inside, ugly font and the price like original! I cannot return it because I bought it last year and I didn't need the Daemon chapter before today. In description 21 chapters, here are 19. I cannot believe it and I'm very dissapoined. Why I paid the full price for fake???
